This was one of our favorite places to stay and we come every year. Originally there were 5 of us but last minute my mother-in-law came on the trip, so 6. The bedrooms were spacious and breezy especially at night. The location was very convenient for us. We were down the street from our favorite beach Kekela. Minutes from our family who live in Laie and Kahuku. And across the street were Tamura’s and Longs. We had Hawaiian cookies and a card to greet us. Ronda stopped by with a pineapple (which was so sweet) the next day and star fruit the day after that. Our last morning she made us waffles for breakfast (she asked us the night before if it was ok). She also made sure she said bye to us before we left. Which I appreciated because my kids really loved her.
The home is clean and comfortable. The kitchen has everything you would need, toaster, rice cooker, blender, etc. There were also toys and books. I saw a high chair as well. Very convenient for kids. I loved having the two kids rooms towards the back as well just because I’m a paranoid parent. In the back there was a trampoline and sitting area. The washer and dryer were very convenient with us swimming everyday and 3 kids we constantly had laundry. But having Ronda as our host made our stay so much better. My kids really loved her and asked her to take a pic with her so they could remember her. But we will definitely be back. We never stay in one place but this time we will return to this home.
As for the sketchy neighborhood, it’s just another common North Shore neighborhood. If you’re looking for the cookie cutter suburbs you’ll want to stay in a hotel. She also let us extend our check out time by a couple hours which was super helpful for us. Great home! Great Stay! And great people!
