We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ohip Hale. The location is very private and surrounded by tropical forest, but close to Kailua and the Kona and Kohala beaches. It was perfect for our mode of leisurely mornings at the house, spending the day exploring the beaches and environs, and returning for a quiet, relaxed evening. The house is nicely designed and decorated with art and artifacts from around the world. We appreciated the well-equipped kitchen and Kathryn's thoughtfulness in providing essentials for cooking and for an overall very comfortable stay.
