If you're wanting the Oahu experience without the busyness of living in down in the Honolulu/Waikiki area - this is your place! An easy commute to everywhere on the island. I loved sleeping with the windows and doors open and waking up to the sounds of the birds and seeing the ocean right out on the front lanai! I stayed for a month and had no problems. I do suggest a rental car, but I did see buses around.
