My partner and I had a magical week on the Big Island, and Karen's lovely guest house was the perfect spot for our home base. The location is so central and convenient -- 10 minutes from the airport and to the shops/restaurants of Kailua; 5 minutes to Costco! But yet the privacy and lush beauty of Karen's estate feels like you're in another world.

For us, each day on the Big Island was a new adventure, but every night it was a pleasure to turn into the gated driveway of our "home away from home" to unwind and relax.

Karen was a wonderful host from the day we booked our trip months ago, until the moment we left. She always responded to my [many] messages promptly, and provided invaluable tips on things to do/see. She even made sure we had groceries for breakfast on our first morning. We loved picking oranges off the trees each morning for fresh juice!

Thank you Karen and Tim for an absolutely wonderful experience, see you again soon. Aloha and Mahalo dear friends!
