The most perfect house in the most idyllic location. My family and I stayed here for a week and it was magical. My Dad grew up on Oahu in the 1950s and 60s and doesn’t like the touristy environment at all, so this North Shore oasis was particularly special in that it felt like it authentically honored the Island’s beauty. Aside from the house where, unlike so many Airbnb's, all the appliances worked and the air conditioning was comfortable, a real appeal is the location. Not just the North Beach, but this location--100 steps (I counted them) to one of the more secluded, sunny beach fronts. Very good surfing there and a 7-minute walk to Sunset Beach to the north, a brief car ride to Waimea Bay to the south. If it's elegance one is looking for we found Turtle Bay Resort is a great place for a meal and/or a drink, and if it's the bright lights there is always Haleiwa, a fine, old, one-horse town. Equally appealing are the food trucks from which we prefer to eat and supplies from Foodland, a super market ten minutes away, directly across from a great snorkeling cove. Then go back and enjoy the decks at the house and never leave the beach house again. My family and I will cherish our week’s worth of incredible sunsets and hope to be back next year!
