I didn’t rent a car for this trip for my friends daughters wedding at Kualoa Ranch & her home is a little over a mile from here, so it worked out perfectly for me. It’s located nearly midway from North Shore & Honolulu, so either direction you travel is great. My first impression was that the pictures & descriptions of the property were dead on but the pictures don’t do justice to also how beautiful the scenery is right out the front door. Angelo was very accommodating and easy to contact. I did have the pleasure of meeting him. Yes, you are somewhat a ways from stores & such so you do need to bring groceries, snacks, coffee & such but everything else you could need is here. I brought Ziplock baggies to keep things in that I didn’t want the humidity to claim. It’s very quiet, calm & relaxing - I looked forward to coming back in the evenings. Loved it here! Aloha!
