From the owner, Ashley, to the house itself, ours was a superb experience. My first time as a VRBOer and first time to Hawaii, I had lots of questions. Ashley was responsive and patient every time I called or texted. The house itself is stunning! Obviously new, it had plenty of room for our four adults/older generation + four 20-somethings. The two large ocean-facing decks gave us plenty of privacy if we wanted time away from the crowd -or- we could take a water "toy" from the closet downstairs and play in the surf. Bring surf shoes because most of the area is rock, but that did not deter us! The driveway/garage behind the gate easily accommodated our 2 full-size cars. The house is right off the main road, but we had plenty of space to pull out onto the roadside, close the gate and merge onto the busy Kamehameha Highway. We never noticed ANY road noise inside the house or on the deck(s). The location is awesome; easy drive to the Pipeline, Haleiwa and the Dole Plantation. We rented bikes and rode from the house to the bike path starting at Shark's Cove. I would NOT recommend this with small children or maybe even teenagers, but have to say that the drivers were, for the most part, very considerate and gave us a wide berth. Bottom line, if you have a family gathering and are not a resort-type person, this is your place. We had a blast!
