I had a wonderful and authentic "at-home" experience staying at Victor's. He is a kind, generous and adventurous guy, and I definitely expect to return soon. Concerning the " whiners" about roosters and bugs: they are everywhere on Oahu. Keep your fan on to drown out the sound if you don't like it. Keep your door closed and don't leave food out. Pretty basic! Staying at Victor's is an authentic North Shore experience, away from tourist zones, close to the food and shoos in Haliewa. So convenient!
