The location is perfect. Everything on the north shore is within 30 minutes, Honolulu in about an hour. We had a fantastic time and would definitely rent again.
Pros
-A block and 1/2 to beach
-Size, perfect for a couple, or a 3rd or a couple kids could sleep on the couch and/or mats, with a curtain separator.
-Ted's Bakery!! We walked there every morning. Get the French Donuts. They also have hot breakfast.
-Again, location. Right off the main highway. Several beaches, shops, food trucks, etc. within a short drive. Sharks Cove, a great place to snorkel, is 3 miles away. Historic Haleiwa Town is 8 miles away with great shopping and food trucks.
Cons
-Kitchen is listed as "fully stocked". Several essentials are missing, including pans for the oven.
-AC/Fans are wonky. The display on the AC control was barely visible, making it hard to know what it was set on. I think one of our ceiling fans had the same remote as the unit next door. We were battling over who controlled the fan.
-No instructions for washer/dryer. I found some outside, on the other side of our unit, but wasn't sure if I was supposed to use them, or if they were for the permanent residence upstairs, or the other rental.
