We were on the North Shore for a family wedding and this vacation home was both the perfect location and worked beautifully for our family. Every morning we took a beach chair with our cups of coffee down to the beach to watch the sunrise or take a walk down the sand. It was quiet, contemplative and a soothing way to start the day. The first floor bedroom and bathroom worked out well for our elderly parents. They did not have to navigate stairs at all. Upstairs, the three bedrooms were wonderful. The "bunk room" with 3 beds was shared by 3 twenty-something girl cousins who loved staying up late and sharing their stories of their escapades. The master is rather spacious, and would be perfect for a family with young children because there is a pull out sofa to have littles nearby. And the third bedroom upstairs is a nice queen room. Having 3 bathrooms in the house was a godsend. Of 8 guests staying, 6 were women needing mirror time for wedding prep. So bathrooms were a must. The kitchen is well stocked. Our only suggestion was a few more spatulas and serving spoons, but we had plenty of pans and dish ware for the whole family to cook meals. I highly recommend the home, and Joseph was very responsive and helpful. ONE TIP: If you enjoy wine or any alcoholic beverage, stop at the market or Longs Drugs about 1/2 mile on the left before you reach the house. There is no liquor sold in Laie, due to it being a Mormon owned city. And, support the wood carver across the street, Miti's Art Gallery. Miti is a third generation wood carver and very talented. We need to support local artists. He only takes cash, but you can negotiate a little, just be fair. We got a wonderful keepsake carving to bring home! Mahalo!
