Second Floor Apartment on Busy Highway
This apartment is right on the corner of a very busy highway and a side street which has several other houses and many parked cars. The noise from the highway during the daytime was so bad that we did not use the deck. The deck is in bad shape anyway, floors are very stained (not white as in the picture on the web), furniture is old and there was only a torn canvas covering which blew in the wind. We bought some cording and tied it down to some of the chairs to mitigate some of the noise caused by the canvas flapping in the wind. We had been told that the deck would have a permanent covering by the time we got there. We booked several months in advance, but no permanent covering.
This area on the north shore of Oahu is really up in the country. There are very few places to eat, and many are food trucks. Certainly not fine dining. There is a good grocery store just 2 miles north in the town of Laie. Plan to eat most of your meals at home.
The Polynesia Cultural Center is in Laie. It is well worth spending some time there.
Of course, the beaches are gorgeous.
