Bebo and Karen are the Hawaii ohana you need! They are such kind, welcoming and adventurous people - and their well-loved dogs always made my husband and I smile when we saw them :) This was our favorite place during our island bike tour and it was in part, due to our hosts and in part, due to their beautiful "tiny home" which, while being simple, had everything we needed for a lovely stay.
Things I loved about the home - the sound of the frogs, the outdoor shower and kitchenette, the fact that it was so beautifully designed - and yes, off-the-grid! Eating fresh papaya in their garden. So many good memories.
Bebo and Karen have great tips for eating in town, so please take note! I had my best breakfasts at Gramma's Place in Honakaa and their Waimea tips were spot-on, too. If you have a car, you will enjoy the scenic drives when exploring the mountains and the coast. If you have a bike, you'll find yourself in cycling heaven here!
Overall, we would love to come back--and will greet Bebo and Karen again. Mahalo!
