Caryl leaves no stone unturned when it comes to thoughtfulness of equipping her space for travelers that prefer to feel as at home as possible. From preparing your own meals, beach day chairs, towels, snorkels, fins, boards, coolers, right down to your toiletry items, Caryl has you covered. Caryl is incredibly welcoming and informative, she provides an abundance of tips and suggestions for places to eat, shop and sightsee. Our room had everything we needed, even a wonderfully cozy bed with crisp white sheets. This rental is perfect for those looking to explore the off the beaten path beaches that the Kona side has to offer. A nice neighborhood, with a great view of sunset. Would recommend as a good home base for exploring up and down the Kona coast. The only notable item that was minimally less than ideal, was that you should expect to be awoken by roosters singing their song every morning, as there appear to be a few throughout the neighborhood. Caryl does provide earplugs if needed, and if you close the main slider, it really does not cause a disturbance at all. No earplugs were needed by myself or my partner during our stay
