This is a comfortable place to stay if you are looking for someplace that is away from the normal touristy things that Hawaii has to offer. You must have a car if you are going to stay here because nothing is within walking distance. I don't know how the public transportation is as we never took it. The hosts provide all the bathroom and kitchen amenities and also have everything you need to take on a beach outing. This is a great, affordable rental for a small family. Also, with the hosts living behind the rental property you know any concerns or problems will be addressed promptly.
