10 out of 5 stars!
Bob, Karen & Cooper are wonderful hosts! We have never rented a room in a shared space but we couldn't have imagined a better experience. Bob and Karen are kind and welcoming- they are happy to spend time chatting with you about the island or your day but they are also just as happy to allow you to do your own thing. The amenities on the property are top notch and there is a grocery and shopping area within walking distance. Their home is very nice with beautiful landscaping, open windows, covered patio with seating, and a full kitchen at your disposal. The beach club with key access has tours and beach activity rentals for purchase and the employees are very helpful. Bob and Karen offer beach chairs, towels, snorkel equipment, bikes, and much more. They have true Aloha spirit and are willing to share with you whatever you may need. They are incredibly accessible which was helpful because we thought we were locked out and had to call them in the evening. It turns out, we were at the wrong unit! Bob was right there and was not bothered by us at all. Cooper is well behaved and lovable. He is not intrusive and is accepting of all cuddles! Bob and Karen's is a great basecamp for your Big Island experience. They are truly wonderful people.
