Great place for long stays! I really enjoyed my time here at Shirley and Andrea's place. I felt very safe and at home while I was here for a couple months. I think this place would be more well-suited to someone either looking for a longer stay, or someone looking for much more of a local feel. It is quite far from town, a decent drive to the east side of the island and the north shore, but the island isn't so big that those places aren't still accessible. The view is beautiful here and the Makaha Beach Park is a lovely uncrowded place to go to the beach. You would definitely need a rental car to stay here, even though the bus runs up to the towers, it would simply take too long to get everywhere without a car. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals in and there are plenty of towels and beach items as well.
