My husband and I couldn't have picked a better spot to stay on the Big Island for the end of our honeymoon. Karen was out of town, but her housekeeper Jeff was easy to communicate with and helpful to us during our stay.
We loved this adorable cottage and all of its quirky decor, jungle life and proximity to the water. As others have mentioned, you may want to pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper, due to dropping nuts from the tree outside. I'd highly recommend renting a kayak to see the spinner dolphins in the bay (7-9 a.m. seemed like the best time). Some other local favorites were Da Poke Shack, Paleaku Gardens, City of Refuge and the coffee farms. A beautiful home, perfect for the adventurous and outdoorsy renter.
