The Hale Koa studio fit my needs perfectly. It was so roomy and had everything I needed. Plus, you couldn't beat the sunsets from the lanai! The rural setting was so peaceful (note to future guests: if you're a light sleeper, the crowing of the roosters might warrant a pair of earplugs) and I enjoyed being away from the activity of the touristy areas. The location was great for getting around the south end to the Volcano National Park, as well as north for beaches, snorkeling, and kayaking. I met Edward when I arrived, and he was very helpful with my questions. Maybe next time, I'll get to meet George:) Thank you both for a lovely stay!
