Location! Location! Location! I used to live in Hawaii and now I live in NYC. getting away from all the hustle and bustle was very important to us on this vacation. This place has great beach access and access to a public beach park which was great for my daughter. In a short drive we could be at the isolated Kaena Park, The Dole plantation, or famous Haleiwa beach. It was a great opportunity to give my family a Kama'aina experience in Hawaii instead of a touristy one.
