First trip to Oahu--need recs

A couple summers in a row we rented a house on the North Shore, next to Shark’s Cove. In the summer the waves are small. It was wonderful. They call it the “country”. No one was on the gorgeous beach in front of the house. My husband likes to cook, and we like to do just hang out at the beach and snorkel. Although, if you want action it is not the place for you.
