The host is very responsive and communicative. We were able to check in early and were notified of the availability of the unit soon after we landed which allowed us to get our vacation started without having to wait around for check in. The location is ideal for all. North Shore activities like the Kahuku food trucks, Waimea Bay, shopping in Haleiwa, Watching the incredible waves and surfers at Bonsai Beach and visiting the Turtle Bay beach area. This is a much different vibe than Honolulu. Weâve stayed at Aulani, and Waikiki area in the past with our kids and this was far more relaxing and authentic. Still plenty for my young kids and teens to do as well as adults. Something for everyone.
