This place was great for a big group of friends and family. There is a large porch with a awesome view of the ocean where we spent a large amount of our time. You do need a car, but is is only a short drive away from many ocean access points. The house feels very private and is in a great location to explore Waimea and the north of the island. The closest urban hub is Waimea about 20 min away, but there is a little strip mall with a mini mart, burger shop, ice cream shop, dive shop and art gallery. We loved it and would go back in a heartbeat!
