If escaping big city lights is what you require, Gary's place is ideal. Star gaze beneath a blue black velvet night sky while beach side. The views on either side of the condo are impressive--nestled nicely between the mountains and the sea. Drive to nearby beaches for a switch from your beachfront oasis--Kailua is a mere 40 minutes, North Shore is a short drive too. I would stay at Pat's Place at Punalu'u again to escape everything that is the big city!
