If you are looking or a unique experience away from Oahu's busy places, this is it. Walking distance to the beach, a super market for basics and poke, and Papa Ole for local foods, it is a great base to explore the East and North Shore of the island even without a car: bus 55 takes you around the island.
Ema's bungalow is lovely. One morning I was woken up by a coconut falling from a nearby tree, I wish that was my alarm clock every day. The cabin has an open structure and feel to enjoy the island weather, there are gentle lights and candles that make it a cozy and relaxed place to stay. Ema is welcoming and just wonderful. I highly recommend staying at Ema's place!
