I don't think a better location exists on the island! We had a rental car, but with Whaler's Village next door we didn't have to use it much aside from some distant excursions. Excellent shopping and restaurant choices. You can also walk right out to the beach and surf, SUP, swim, snorkel, scuba... Just a tremendous place in a gorgeous and convenient area with so many activities in walking distance, including luaus! The apartment is also top notch and feels luxurious - very updated. We loved our stay and will be back! Aloha and mahalo!
