It is pretty quiet out near the Hide Awhile but I like it that way. We have stayed at Little Waters Villa 2 doors down and we love it. There is very little traffic out there but there is always a cab or 2 at Hylton Ave, in front of Out of Town Pastry (RIP Collin) and as far as restaurants go, Moon Dance Cliffs is next door and it is about a mile walk to LTU and just a little further to Catcha, Sharks and Seastar Inn. In the next mile you have Sips n Bites, Push Cart, Eddies de Bar and then 3 Dives, lots of other choices too. I have always found it safe to walk facing traffic during the day but would usually cab at night. Have fun.
