Flip, don't buy a car just for a month visit, LOL. Rent a scooter? Rent a car when you have siteseeing days planned?

I think grassroots is pretty far out west end road, near Out Of Town Pastry?

If you are up to walking some but not long distances, finding a place between town and say, Ella Drive would be pretty walkable. I like being able to walk to town and catching a taxi to the beach or Sav from there.
