I could not have asked for a better first time experience using airbnb! Malia and Bernie were so welcoming and provided us with helpful suggestions about things to do such as where to hike, paddle board, snorkel, and eat. We went to a wedding and the party stayed at Turtle Bay Resort and it was an easy two minute walk to hang out with them! If you want an "authentic", affordable, safe place to stay on the north shore this is it!
