this house is in a quiet cul de sac walking distance from a little lagoon/beach that a lot of surfers frequent. it's pretty spacious with a view of the ocean (but no direct access — you need to cross the bridge to get to it). it's about 2mi from any other entertainment, which I initially thought I could just walk to since I was in Hawaii and might as well enjoy the scenery, but the fastest route is along the freeway which can be a bit loud. via car, the closest restaurants and grocery stores are about 10min away. I had no problem getting a rideshare during the daytime hours of the pandemic but did have issues in the evening.
for people who need more silence at night, you might find the sound of frogs a bit annoying. I thought it was lovely, but one of my friends had a hard time sleeping to it.
the owner lives downstairs and was very helpful when asking about places to eat.
