We wanted a full kitchen and to be as far away from the tourism as possible so we rented this place and a got a rental car. The island is small enough that you can drive to most places in under an hour. Our family cooked most of our own meals while visiting Hawaii so having the full kitchen was great. Halona was an amazing host and quick to help whenever we asked. Nanakuli beach was our favorite local beach and only a few minutes away. Ulua Lagoon was another favorite, is a nice place to snorkel, and is only about 15 minutes away.
PS take your slippas off at the door 🤙🏽
