The carriage house is a wonderful, clean, and bright place to stay on the North Shore. Just up the road from Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach, and a 20-minute drive to Haleiwa. About a 5 minute drive to get down to the beach, but it's worth it for the views from the porch.
As the listing describes (and previous reviews reiterate), the owners live on site with their kids and dogs. You'll likely meet them in the evenings when they are home from school and work. They are all very friendly, and have great advice about what to see in the immediate area. The kids even brought us fresh fruit from the property!
Overall, great place to stay for the relaxed feel of the North Shore, access to great beaches and hikes, and beautiful sunsets from the porch.
