Tara is a great host and her home is spectacular! The house has an enclosed grass backyard, which leads right to the beach. We were able to see sea turtles sunbathing on the beach in the afternoons, and we even saw a small seal once! The house has great ocean views from the living room, kitchen, dining area, and master bedroom. The house was well kept and contained everything we needed, and then some, such as washer, dryer, dishwasher, blender, tupperware, kitchen utensils and tools, detergent, etc. Tara was extremely responsive throughout our stay, and she was very helpful with any questions we had, even before booking. She even provided a binder in her home with nearby restaurant and hike suggestions. The house is in Waialua, which is less than a 10 minute drive to Hale’iwa, where there are plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. There is also a walking/running path right near the house. I would highly recommend staying in this home, or any other home Tara hosts.
