Ellen's place was perfect for our stay on the North Shore. We felt very fortunate to find such a great place, my daughter and I felt relaxed and right at home in this quiet neighborhood. Centrally located, we sampled the surfing beaches and found our way to Ka' ena Point as well. Ellen's place has a lovely Hawaiian vibe, the cool blue decor lends a very serene calm to the beginning and end of the day. We loved that everything we needed was available to us, kitchen items, beach chairs, umbrella and snorkel equipment. If we have the pleasure of returning to Oahu, we will stay at Ellen's again, it was truly perfect.
