My girlfriend and I really enjoyed Caryl's place! She was super accommodating with our check in and check out times, especially after a last minute change with our manta ray tour date. She gave us super detailed tips and activity ideas (which were major time savers especially during the rainy days). The room was private, quiet and spacious. She also had plenty of amenities: propane grill (we made some grilled lobster!), boogie boards, beach towels, beach chairs, etc. She also checked in with us throughout our stay just to see how we were doing. Really great place to station for exploring Kona and the west side of Hawaii. We would definitely come back for our next stay on the big island!
