Karoline is a most considerate and thoughtful host. She has provided everything her guests could possibly need for a comfortable stay. I don't think we've ever stayed at such a well equipped rental. The lanai was our favourite room - spacious with a wonderful view of Karoline's lush garden and the ocean in the distance. The birdsong during the day is lovely but the frogs never seem to sleep and are very loud - bring earplugs. The winding drive to the house requires concentration; however being up on the mountainside means cool and comfortable weather (often with some rain in the late afternoon while it's still sunny on the coast). Hono, the house dog is sweet and friendly. Holualoa is a charming village just a 10-minute walk away. The coffee and food at the Holuakoa Coffee Shack is excellent and the artisans' galleries are really worth a visit (we can recommend Dovetail and the Barbara Hanson Gallery).
