The location is perfect for exploring all of the North Shore region! Although you can certainly stay active without ever leaving the property, we were very glad we took Malia's advice and rented a car. The king bedroom (with a very comfy bed) and bathroom (that's only lightly shared with the hosts) in Malia's golf course view condo was the perfect "home base" for visiting areas like Haleiwa, Waimea Bay, Kaena Point, and parts of the Windward Coast. Malia gives excellent recommendations for great places to eat (e.g. Panda's Thai Food Truck), as well as affordable activity ideas! (We loved the cultural show & farm/garden tour at Tropical Farms Macadamia Nuts!) We enjoyed the homey feeling of the condo, like staying with relatives, and the 3 sweet kitties, too. Mahalo to Malia and her hubby!
