The Surf Camp is definitely a unique place place to stay. It’s pretty much as advertised on Airbnb. If you’re looking for a place to pitch a tent, get a shower and have a space to store/make food, this spot can work for the thrifty traveler wanting quick access to Oahu’s North Shore. The hosts are certainly friendly and the other guests seem to cohabitate well in the close quarters of the backyard. It’s close to good food and some great boutique shops, galleries and the Haleiwa beach park.
The only drawbacks I had were the noise from party music and roosters that roam all around. Communication prior to arrival and immediately after arrival via the Airbnb messenger app was “canned” and not personalized which might work for some people but I’m not a fan of impersonal generalized messaging. Other than that, the stay was pretty good. I’d recommend it to anybody looking to cut costs of staying on island for a short stint.
