I chose Karla’s because I loved the idea of a guesthouse all to myself in a location that was convenient to Volcanoes National Parks. I got so much more! The guesthouse is tastefully decorated with every amenity imaginable in both the bathroom and kitchen. Extremely comfortable bed, a hammock and screened eating area on the outside lanai. Peaceful and secluded but easy to see the southern part of the island, the volcanoes, Hilo and further north. Satellite TV and internet - NO internet issues!! Karla is quick to respond to any query and a lovely host. I’d love to go back some day!
