We were looking and desiring local natural beauty and the reason we love the west side of Oahu is because it is all this and always sunny! Beach is 5 min walk away, however if you are desiring a more tourist look/feel you will prob want to look elsewhere - getting to anywhere “touristy” Is about 30-50 min drive (or more) depending on traffic. Just to emphasize this is a great, clean townhome in a very busy local neighborhood - we loved being seen as one of the locals - and complete with roosters, birds, views, neighbors and friendly keikis. Just a note that there is only AC in two of the rooms upstairs. Also note that you will have to provide your own laundry detergent, paper towels, etc. The place was clean and with our group size, this was a great option. Would stay again.
