Staying at Turtle House was a great experience. Karen and Tim are great hosts. Karen is very responsive via phone or e-mail. The house was ready when promised and was immaculate. The grounds are very well maintained and the views of the Kailu-Kona sunsets off the lania (and elsewhere on the property) were spectacular. The house has many games to play at night, books to read, as well as beach towels, water toys and boogie boards to take to the beach. No need to bring those items with you on your trip. There are two bedrooms, one with a king bed and the other with two twin beds. The couch also serves as a very comfortable "bed" and there is an aerobed to use if more beds are needed. Access to the internet is provided and has great speeds for logging into work if you're crazy enough to do that on vacation which I was a couple of times for brief periods.

Karen accommodated us and got the house ready when one family was leaving and we were arriving the same day. In a matter of hours the house was cleaned and set up perfectly. She also accommodated our request to leave our things on property the day we were leaving so we didn't have to have all our luggage with us the whole day as our flight was leaving late in the evening. That was quite a benefit as we had 6 people and lots of luggage for one minivan. It made our last day enjoyable.

We were able to interact with Karen and Tim on most days. We found them to be very pleasant and fun to get to know. We feel as though we have some friends on Island now. We would definitely want to stay here again on future return visits to their beautiful Island.

Maholo Karen and Tim.
