Veronica and Tatianna were excellent to work with make arrangements for reservations. The villa is very clean and well maintained. It is a nice secure and secluded area off the main street with easy access to shops, restaurants and groceries. We used the bus for one week and had a car for the second week, the car is a bit more efficient than the bus! Haleiwa is a beautiful little town, busy in the day and quieter on Sunday Monday and evenings and close to everything! We recommend "A scoop of Paradise" Ice cream shop, the shaved ice stores and taking the time to walk around to look at all the places, parks and beaches. It was a relaxing holiday. It is a cozy yet modern little getaway for two.

Owner response:Aloha dear Nikki, Thank you so much for your kind response.We are happy that you guys had a great time at The Zen Villa! Mahalo Veronica

Thank you to Tatiana and Veronica for providing a wonderful home (we stayed at the Coral House) to stay in. We really enjoyed this quiet, perfectly located, clean and modern home. Tatiana provided great directions to find the place (we arrived late at night) and very helpful suggestions for great restaurants and snorkelling. We would come back again and have no concerns in recommending this property.

" After having found this little treasure,first on the internet and here in Haleiwa, we enjoyed a wonderful and exciting week at the north shore.The whole family went surfing with uncle Brian and everyone was proud to ride the(small) waves. Veronica's beautiful hide-away was our little heaven to return after every wonderful days at the beach and cruising the shores.The Zen Villa had everything we needed and additional wishes were made true by Veronica instantly.eg. She even bought a high chair and thus made feeding a relaxing pleasure.It's time for us to leave but we would always return to his peaceful place in the center of Haleiwa, the most relaxing and cool town & people we meet for a while.Mahalo! See you again".Jean Eric & Iris Kloth,Hong Kong.

Voces estao de Parabens porque o aconchego do lugar e inacreditavel e a decoracao entao e incrivel,fazendo com que realmente se sentimos em casa.
