Mike was very helpful. Accommodated our very late arrival. He meets the renter to let you into the house and show your around rather than a drop box or keypad like we're used to - very personable. He gave us recommendations along the way - doesn't like to text but was always available on the phone. The house is plenty big with a lot of extra beds - easily accommodated our party of 7 and friends who would come to visit. The covered deck is wonderful. We spent a lot of time out there. It does border a horse ranch but most times was unnoticeable. The walk to the beach was just a few seconds. Due to the rain storms, the water was dark colored as a storm drain pours into the ocean just a little ways down the beach. We didn't swim there except the last day when it cleared out a little. Walking along the beach or having our morning coffee out there was truly wonderful. We loved the town of Haleiwa just a short drive away.
