Suz & Bob -- Thanks so much for having us this past week and a half. North Shore has always been a favorite and your condo, advice & friendly assistance made our stay perfect. Morning coffee on the lanai; swimming with Honu; relaxing with a good book; not to mention touring your recommended sites and reliving old memories from past years on Oahu made for a "no ka oi" kind of vacation. Loved the food at Spaghettini as well! Mahalo Nui Loa -- Marlene & Jim

We stayed at the condo in mid December, and couldn't have been happier with our choice. We wanted to be away from the crowds and have a relaxing vacation, but also somewhere where we didn't feel too isolated. Haleiwa -- and this condo -- was the perfect choice! The condo itself is lovely, with everything we needed, and made a perfect base for exploring the island. The listing description and photos are accurate, and the condo was exactly as described, so we thrilled. The condo complex itself is laid back and quiet -- which we appreciated, and the beach was great! My husband liked swimming every morning when he could, and I just enjoyed the fresh air and the sound of the ocean. Suz was wonderful in welcoming us and making sure we were alright. On our last day, she recommended Cinnamon's since we had a few hours to kill before our flight and we took her advice -- the Red Velvet pancakes were awesome! We kept talking about how much we'd love to come back...so we're hoping we can do so! And regardless of where you stay, if you visit Haleiwa, you *must* go to Spaghettini's for pizza! We had the vegetarian one, and really, it was the best we've had -- and we're from the NYC area and we know pizza. ;) Thanks again! We hope to be back soon!

Owner response:Aloha Raquel and Kipp, Bob and I are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. And a big mahalo for the great compliments on our pizza as well! We look forward to seeing you both again. Aloha, a hui ho. Suz and Bob

Suzanne and Bob, Thank you for everything. Spaghettini has the best Hot Wings on the island! Trinity enjoyed the toys in the shed as much as we did. The condo felt so much like home it's hard to leave. This place really brings out the best in all of us. We are getting married tomorrow and I know that this place really inspired it for that! We will be forever grateful. Mahalo, Rene, Chris and Trinity

You have once again been extraordinary hosts. We had a fabulous, relaxing vacation, snorkeling, swimming, watching the surfers and the surf..... As usual when we come to Haleiwa, we did about half of the things we intended to (swim, snorkel, watch the surf and surfers) and don't regret the things we missed. Don't even remember waht they are..... mahalo, Rachel and Spence Victoria, Canada

Mahalo for the use of your personal water toys and your personal insight to the best of Oahu! We will recommend you to all of our friends and hope to come back again!! Mahalo (again) and Aloha!!

We just returned from a wonderful, relaxing week in Suzanne and Bob's condo. We loved having such a beautiful beach just steps away out the back door. The proximity to Haleiwa and other North Shore spots was also great. Suzanne and Bob and kids were warm, friendly hosts, and we can't wait to return--we are hoping for a longer stay next time!

Bob, Suzanne and Boys, Thank you SOOOO much for everything. You have a wonderful place in a wonderful location. We never could have imagined or expected what we got in Haleiwa. The people, the place, the beach, the turtles. It was a perfect start for our lives together. Thanks for the suggestions on things to do and places to go. We didn't do anyting we didn't enjoy. To future visitors: snorkeling right our back is a must! The sunsets right our back with everyone is also a blast! Everyone here was so nice and friendly. Don't know when, but we will be back, Heather and Loren

Bob and Suzanne, We are so stoked to have stumbled upon your place! You never really know what you are in for when you book this online, and we were not one bit disappointed! OUr 2 little ones loved the beach out front and I was treated to fun surf @ walls and in the harbor. We enjoyed spending a day (and a few $) in the cute town of Haleiwa and are definately leaving with the hope of coming back soon. Thanks for sharing your place with us!

May 2007. Great condo! Perfect location. We didn't want to leave. I miss drinking my morning coffee on the beach and seeing the turtles swimming. Bob & Suzanne are really great and the food at Spaghettini's was awesome! We would highly recommend staying here!

April 2007. We loved your place. Bob gave us great tips on the Macadamia Nut Farm. What a thrill. We even saw the submarine from Lost! Suzanne was so awesome in getting us set up. This was the perfect location. We were able to drive into Waikiki, Pearl Harbour then come back to sit back and enjoy the surfers. Your place felt like home. I love the idea of having spices, tupperware, etc for us to use. We will recommend your place. How is Kona doing?

Owner response:Aloha Kathy and James! Mahalo for the wonderful comments. Kona is as spoiled as any cat can be....it's unbelievable how many friends "he" (some debate about that still) has. For a cat with no owner he gets alot of love. I hope ya'll will come to visit us again! Aloha, A hui ho Suz and Bob

The location is absolutely wonderful. The condo is clean and comfortable. Bob and Suzanne are extremely nice and really go the extra mile to make your stay enjoyable and carefree. I stayed in April 2007, watched the whales breach and blow their way back north. Weather was wonderful. Try Bob and Suzanne's pizza, it's the best I've ever had! Will definitely go back. Maholo Suzanne and Bob for a GREAT vacation! Cecelia

This truly is a gem! We stayed for seven days and felt like we had been away for a month! Bob and Suzanne are wonderful hosts and dedicate themselves to ensuring guests have a comfortable and relaxing stay. They went out of their way to make sure we didn't have to spend our last (and precious!)day in Honolulu -- but instead, got to enjoy a beautiful afternoon on the Hale'iwa beach! Mahalo Bob and Suzanne, we look forward to seeing you again next year!
