Katies’s place is the perfect location! We went to the beach across the street our last night there and saw at least 15 turtles up on the beach sleeping! The location is a great spot between the busier town and the low key edge of town where there’s just stretches of beach to pull up to. The beach across the street has soft sand and the visitors center while town just 5-10 miles away has a bunch of restaurants and coffee shops to hit. Definitely recommend Cafe Olei for good drink specials and an amazing lunch fresh catch of the day, or Nalu for dinner with live music and even dancers if you’re lucky! You are across the islandish(about 40 mins) from the resort area and get a more authentic feel of the island time and casual local feel. We spent our days here out exploring the island which I highly suggest as there is SO MUCH to see! This also makes the location ideal as it’s between the eastern and western sides of the island and allows for you to see all it has to offer without the extra drive time. Mahalo Katie!
