We just returned home from our trip and we had an absolute blast. For our first visit to hawaii we were looking for a place to give us the feel of how the locals lived, and this place was perfect. The house is very nice. Modern , clean and updated. The kitchen was stocked as promised , along with coffee maker, hairdryers, AC. worked great (which we only used maybe 1-2 days, at night it was cool enough that you didnt need to use it.) They also left pamplets with coupons and information on things to do on the whole island. It is a very short walk to the beach which was amazing. The beach was very big and open and never crowded. It is the perfect place to catch a sunset. We were also walking distance to sharks cove, the food trucks, a hike we did ( Ehukai Pillbox hike, look it up) pipeline and Foodland. Simple, quiet little neighborhood but very close to anything you needed. We were just a short drive to the town of Haleiwa. Alot of good food choices, shopping and water activities. We also drove to Waikiki beach, honolulu and other parts of the island but North shore was our favorite. Patrick responded very quickly as we were planning the trip and once we arrived, and was a great host. We will definitley be back!
