We had a great stay at Hale Kamaole. The place was newly renovated, exactly as described, and very conveniently located across from the beach. If you plan to do lots of cooking, bring your own spices from home. The pantry is not well stocked because leftover food gets donated to locals (which is lovely). Lisa gave lots of great tips and was super responsive. Highly recommend staying here and if you do, plan to grill on the shared BBQ and watch the sunset with the rest of the guests and residents. It's a fun way to meet people.
