We were happy to be the first guests to stay in Kat and Joe's newly remodeled hale. The place is beautifully done including the finishes and the decorating and very spacious for a couple- it was really nice to have a full sized refrigerator and stove and loads of counter space. Kat and Joe are working on adding the small touches to help round the place out and are very eager to ensure their guests have a great stay, which means a lot. Joe brought us an armload of grapefruits and a juicer which was an awesome treat. We liked the location as it is close to some of the more remote and secluded beaches in the South Kona/Ocean View area like Honamolino, Road to the Sea beach but also Ho'okena, Two Step, etc. The only downside is the floors are thin and there is a tenant upstairs who you can hear a bit too easily. Kat and Joe sound like they will be proactive in taking some steps to try and soundproof it more. Overall, this is a good place if you are a little more laid back and we enjoyed our stay.
