We enjoyed our stay at Maile's little studio. It was what we needed- and as advertised. Even though it is connected to the main house, it felt secluded and we were never bothered or felt intrusive on their space. We ate out and when we had left overs, there was a microwave and dishes to accommodate that.
It was also 4-5 blocks away from a beach access point and 6 blocks to Teds for breakfast, lunch or just a sweet treat. It was about 15-20 mins away from Haleiwa without traffic. Overall, it was comfortable and convenient for us.
