What a great place! We had a car, but you may not need one. The beach is a clock away, and there are shops and restaurants within less than a mile. The apartment has chairs and boogey boards, great additions if you have kids. There are several beaches less than 10 min away by car, all of them great. We went in the summer and had the amazing experience of having turtles swimming by multiple times at Kamaole II and III. Nearby we loved Fred's Tacos, specially the Taco Tuesday dinner with tacos served family style and happy hour prices all night.
