We chose Tonya's place for the ocean view, and it sure did not disappoint! It was beautiful. There are fun little excursions nearby - just steps away was a little steep trail down to Turtle Cave (we saw a giant sea turtle relaxing inside!) and then Queens Bath is close as well (didn't have a chance to trek down there this trip). It's definitely not as centrally located as you could be - but we planned our time on the island so it wasn't a big deal getting to Waimea or Poipu. The north shore is a beautiful place to stay - we would stay there again!
