You'll find Kathleen's place to be clean, comfortable, all the amenities (including a nifty kitchen), and perfectly located close to Highway 11 and town. We really enjoyed the screened porch for our morning breakfast and daily planning. Kathleen was an A+ host, providing all the tips we needed to complement the Big Island Hawaii Driving Tour (a must if you want to explore on your own and really see the sights). There's so much to see on the big island, including some great beaches, so plan for a full week! (buy your gas and foodstuffs at COSTCO and Safeway).
