Teresa and Steve’s place is really well located on the map as a base to explore the island and the apartment itself is fully equipped. One could live there very happily! However, if you’re looking for a place to socialise while there you’ll be out of luck; there is no bar/restaurant/shops in the local area. You have to drive along the main road for about 10/12 minutes which, once you’ve navigated the road which leads you to/from the property (3 miles of winding, uphill, hugely fun-to-drive road) turns into a half hour plus trip. If you’re looking for a super quiet, super relaxing place by the sea though, this is the place to go for. The coast, in all its lava-formed, wave-crashing glory is literally 30 seconds away on foot. There’s free parking (a nice change from handing out 25-35 dollars every night in Oahu) for visitors, a pool to cool off in and the hosts themselves are courtesy defined.
Thanks Teresa and Steve!
