Residential beach community location is terrific, a short block to beautiful Waimanalo Beach, access to all the sights on the East shore, and only 30-40 minutes to Honolulu. Karin's studio offered everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. There are a number of very casual restaurants within blocks; we enjoyed Ono's Steak and Shrimp Shack and 'Ai Love. Kailua is minutes away for more restaurants and shopping. Karin was very responsive in answering the few questions we had about the studio.
