Larry's studio was very comfortable and super-convenient as a "home base" for our North Shore vacation. We could walk to the beach in minutes, or bike to snorkel and then grab dinner at the food trucks by Shark's Cove. We happened to be there the final weekend of a big surfing competition, so were able to watch world-class professional surfers at Banzai Pipeline, just minutes away. Another highlight was Waimea Valley, the most gorgeous natural botanical gardens & Hawaiian cultural site--it's only a 10 minute drive.
