Wow... we had a really awesome experience at Hale Kohola. Although, we did not need a 3 bedroom house for 1 couple, it did not seem ridiculous having the home to ourselves. Arieh had great communication before giving us all the directions and instructions upon arrival. Once we arrived, we immediately felt at home. You have a great view of the mountains/hills on one side and the ocean on another. You can have these views by enjoying/sitting on your beach/lawn chairs in either the front and/or back yard. You literally have everything you need in this place. He's done a great job with furniture and decorating the place as well. In a vacation rental, everything little thing makes the difference. From night lights to towels to laundry to kitchen appliances/utensils. The outdoor shower was by far our best one from 3 outdoor showers we've experienced in Hawaii. Not to mention, and outdoor shower with a awesome view of the ocean! The location is impeccable to the best beaches on the Kohala coast. Why stay at a fancy resort when you can live in a quiet and scenic neighborhood. The price is perfect and a real steal, especially with 4-6 people. I suggest keeping the flow of the main part of the house by opening all the windows etc. Our sleeping situation was very comfortable with AC in all the rooms. All in all, we would stay here again in a heart beat. Head 10 miles to Village Burger in Waimea or a 3 min drive to Moana Kea beach. Best accommodations by far during our 8 day stay on the Big Island.
