Well, first of all -- Silvan? Super cool. Pointed me in the direction of the best hikes and food around the island. I generally stuck to her advice for my entire stay, and it paid off. The Ke-ana Point trail and bike/pedestrian path starting at Sunset Beach were the high points.

The place is exactly as shown. Loved it. Secluded from the surrounding property, a nice view out the back towards the river and the mountain, and quiet. The property is definitely secluded from an already quiet town, but it's a quick drive into Waialua or Haleiwa proper to find other humans. Also, Silvan and Adam supplied, among the other items in the kitchen area, a French Press. This was a life-saver.

Now, let's talk about the cat. Name: Bones. Color: White and black. Favorite sounds: Meow, also meowww. Habits: Checking out the garden, surprising you in the evening with an impromptu lap-sitting session, waiting dutifully for you to come home at night. Known aliases: "I'm not a pet-aholic I swear". This little guy was my bro for my entire stay. Ignore him and he'll just pass on by, but pet him once and he's your new best friend. When one of the bigger spiders tried to encroach on my territory, Bones looked at me all like, "Dude, want me to kill it?" I was all like, "No dude, it's eating the bugs, spiders are our friends". Bones was all like "I SAID I'LL DO IT. I'LL DO IT FOR YOU." And I was like, "You don't need to impress me, Bones," and Bones was like, "Fine, we're not real friends anyways." By the time the conversation was over the spider was already gone, and we both felt kinda stupid.

Annnywho. This place rocks. Next time I'm in Oahu this place there's not reason not to stay here again.
