Karen is a great host. She's interesting and enjoys sharing her knowledge of Hawaii. She's also relaxed. The room in the house is neat and comfortable and has its own bath. Lots of counter space to spread out your stuff. There's a nice table to sit outside and eat breakfast; it's covered, so even if it's wet, you can still enjoy it. Karen let me use the kitchen to make a simple breakfast. The garden is very pretty, and the area is attractive--lush and green, not brown. Lots of bird life and wonderful trees and other plants. It's a rural area, so there aren't a lot of restaurants or services, but I liked it that way. The house is on the main road, but it's set back, and I was not bothered by road noise (even though I am very sensitive to it). There's also a small cottage with kitchen for rent. The prices are very reasonable.
