In my opinion, this is the best area of the island to stay because you experience true Hawaii through the local people and Tess’s place has the best ocean and Mountain View’s, secluded, quiet, clean, stylish, stocked. You can drive to see the other beautiful spots on the island. Our favorite experience was going to Burger King on a Friday morning 6-10 where the older local Hawaiians get together to play their unique instruments, sing and dance.
