We had a large group and filled up all 5 bedrooms, it was very roomy and comfortable. We had to use some bug spray and keep the food put away, but there are a lot of bugs in Hawaii and if you come to the north shore, you know you are not staying at a resort. There is A/C in one room upstairs and one room downstairs, but during late afternoon we ran all the fans and it was warm. Be sure and wind down the shades on the east side deck to shade the house during the day. The outside showers were a lifesaver when we all got home from the beach, there are at least 2 outside showers, maybe more.
The most remarkable feature of this place is that it is one house away from an almost private beach. We spent so much time at the beach right next to the house, saw turtles almost every time we snorkeled, even saw one sitting on the sand. We rented SUP's and could be out on them in 5 minutes. Several sunrise paddles and even one beach bonfire that we shared with some locals that ended around 5 am. Mike was super helpful, even printed some schoolwork for my daughter in grad school. As a huge fan of the history of this legendary surfing town, the house and everything about the north shore was magical! Don't miss - Waimea Bay Beach and Falls (luau is awesome), Clark Little gallery, Giovanni's Shrimp truck, Pupukea food truck (best Poke of your LIFE!) and of course Matsumoto's shave ice. Aloha :D
