Our 6 day stay was great with the cottage being spacious and comfortable. It has a serene vibe and we enjoyed some of the best sleeps we've had in a while with the bed and linens being of good quality. Be prepared to be woken each day by a cockerel though!

The kitchen is reasonably well appointed with almost everything you need to make simple meals but don't expect to be able to produce gourmet food!

We arrived at 8.00 pm (as expected) and the directions provided are very high level with just a dot on a map, and the GPS doesn't recognize the property number. It's pitch dark at that time of night, so stopping at almost every house on the street was frustrating after a long journey. For future renters, the property is on the left side of the road, and the house number is on a lava-stone pillar - many other properties on the same street put their house numbers on a mail box.

Note this is NOT a 2 bedroom property, there is 1 king bedroom with en-suite shower, but the other queen bed is located in the open plan kitchen/living/dining room. So it's fine for families, but not 2 couples or teenagers.

Also be aware that the only provisions provided are salt & pepper, you will not find any items left behind by previous renters- which was the case (and a nice surprise) with another property we rented on Oahu.

We did not meet or hear from Yuki, so cannot make any comment in that regard.

Would we rent this property again?, yes, probably but we'd also consider others in the vicinity.

Sunset Beach & Haleiwa are lovely areas with a great surf atmosphere and a reasonable number of restaurants to choose from.

I can't recommend the food trucks - our experience at North Shore Fish Tacos was not the best and a server in a restaurant said she would NEVER eat at the food trucks due to there being no running water. We'll leave it to you to decide!!
