We (myself, spouse and 17 and 14 year old teenagers) had a wonderful stay at Rick's house on the North Shore. The house has a great location for visiting all the iconic beaches on the North Shore and travelling over to the east coast to visit the Polynesian Cultural center as well as Kualoa Ranch. It is a 10 min walk to Sunset Beach and a 5 min walk to Ted's bakery. Ted's serves an informal breakfast, lunch and dinner. You are about a 10 min drive to an amazing Foodland that has great produce and very tasty Poke and Shushi.
The house was very comfortable with split unit air conditioning in every room. My teenagers really liked having their own TVs in their rooms as well as a big screen TV in the living room.
Rick provided everything you could possibly need, extra soap, shampoo, diving masks, beach towels and body boards. He was great at communicating and very responsive in providing information. We loved staying at Rick's house.
