We really enjoyed our stay at Karoline's. The house is a bit up in the hills above Kona, you'll be staying in a tropical forest, but still only 15-20 min from downtown shops and restaurants. The neighborhood is really nice with many coffee farms down the road. At night the coqui frogs can be a bit loud, but they didn't keep us from getting a good night's sleep. The views from the lanai are absolutely amazing! The house has everything you'd need, including snorkels and beach chairs. Karoline welcomed us with a delicious pineapple and was very helpful throughout our entire stay.
