We wanted a quiet place with a deck overlooking the ocean for coffee in the morning & wine in the evening to celebrate our 30th anniversary and we found it! The pictures don't do it justice, the home is very private, quiet, had amazing views, exactly what we needed! Janice & Troy welcomed us with hugs and an amazing basket (with wine, fresh fruit, coffee, cookies, chocolate, nuts), fresh flowers, as well as a personalized wedding anniversary photo & card. They are the perfect landlords and although they might have started as landlords they're now Ohana! They made sure we had information on anything we wanted to do, even told us about a beach for sea turtles (which we found 6 large ones sunning! I have only seen them when scuba diving and was surprised to see 250 lb turtles laying on the beach). Tamura's grocery store was perfect for our needs. Loved Giovanni's shrimp truck. Went twice for shave ice in Haleiwa. Grilled fresh Ahi at the house (yum). The kitchen was well stocked including a rice maker, the king bed was very comfortable, the sound of the surf lulling you to sleep made it heavenly. Spent a day at Waimea Falls Park and enjoyed the farmers market. We saw a monk seal sunning on a beach as we were headed to HNL our last day. The only negative was the fact we had to go back home! Our 9 nights still wasn't enough and I would recommend this hale to anyone looking to relax by the ocean! We're already trying to plan next years trip to Hale O Kalahiki. Mahalo to Janice & Troy (our new cousins) for making our anniversary wonderful!
