For the latter half of our trip we wanted to stay further south in a more quiet area. Kat and Joe’s place did not disappoint. It is located in the country in a quiet area. They have some cats and dogs on the property that are great to be around and are friendly. The photos of their place are accurate but it was even nicer inside. It is a very comfortable place to stay and nicely decorated. As long as you have a rental car, we found it was a convenient location to check out some local beaches, go fruit shopping or head south to visit the Volcano national park or black sand beach. There’s a beautiful beach nearby that Joe recommended that we really enjoyed. We would definitely stay here again if we were travelling to the Big Island in the future.
