Backyards Bungalow was a perfect location to enjoy what the North Shore has to offer. The description online is accurate and this home was a perfect location for our family of 5 to enjoy, settle in and feel we belonged to the amazing North Shore even for just a short period of time. The home had all that was required to self cater and was very comfortable and certainly had a very welcoming feel. We enjoyed 7 nights here and then moved onto the tourist location of Waikiki for 5 nights. To wake up in the morning and walk downstairs to see that exact view as the main picture indicates was a joy. To walk barefoot across the grass and down 5 steps to the sand was heaven. General consensus from us all was we should have stayed longer in this home and less time on the tourist strip. Our next visit will reflect that. Having said that Pearl Harbour is a must do and also the hike to Diamond Head whilst in Waikiki. The surfers in the family had a taste of the big surf and whilst very different from what they are used to and found it a challenge they meet locals and will return to take the challenge! Mahalo Melissa and Tyler we appreciated your home so much and your hospitality and don't doubt we will be back to visit in the future.
