Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay at Joe's place! There was just enough space for us. My husband and I had the bed, our 12 y/o used the air mattress in our room, and our 15 y/o used the futon in the living room. The bathroom was a little tight for us since we have bigger kids, but we used the kitchen sink for brushing teeth and washing our faces, too. Being from Dallas with central a/c, the one bedroom a/c unit in the airbnb took some getting used to. Since we had to turn off the a/c during the day, it was very hot inside when we returned 8-10 hours later. We remedied that by blasting the a/c and placing a floor fan at the bedroom door to cool off the living/dining area more quickly. The kitchen is well-stocked with plates, cups, utensils, frying pans, sauce pans, mixing bowls, and basic spices. Strangely, there was no large pot for boiling pasta and noodles, so we had to borrow one from our host next door, Lindsay. Speaking of Lindsay, she was fabulous! She always responded quickly and was very helpful! The beach access is very close by - just a short walk across the street and down a set of stairs. The beach was so private - not very many people there! At times, we were the only ones there! On our first beach day, there was quite a lot of small (1"-2") pieces of glass. Luckily, that was the only day. You can expect some debris and trash to wash up to shore, but it didn't distract us from enjoying the beach. It was especially nice that Joe provides beach towels, a large beach bag, umbrella, a couple of chairs, 4 boogie boards, and some swim goggles/snorkel mask. The location of the airbnb is very convenient to shops, restaurants, and the Polynesian Cultural Center. We really enjoyed taking a short walk to the end of the street to Laie Point where you can witness amazing sunrises and sunsets! We would recommend Joe's place to anyone looking for a great North Shore base!
