We loved our accommodation at Catherine's - and what a view! We had a laid-back island stay, with this Ocean View space conveniently placing us between Kailua-Kona and the Hilo side. To be sure, the Big Island is... well, BIG, so a car needed to facilitate your excursions. The drive, to either hub, is often breathtaking. Our lovely hostess was not intrusive but always responded immediately to texts if we had a question. This place (and host) is a winner.
