Karen's place is one of a kind on Big Island. It is just steps away from the beautiful Kealakekua Bay state park and offers a nice local feel, being in a small residential neighbourhood. The whole cottage is decorated with balinese antiques and an impressive collection of surf boards. The kitchen and bathroom are open air so you really feel in contact with nature! The rest of the cottage is covered and very cozy and spacious. Another great thing about this place was Karen and Ron's hospitality. They made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. I highly recommend this place and will be back for sure! Thanks again! Eva and Maria
