Ka'Haiya's place was just as nice as it looked in the photos. The place was very clean and had a modern yet cozy vibe. I liked the coordinated bedding and the towels quite a bit.
Ka'Haiya was an excellent host and very responsive. She even checked in on me during my trip to make sure I didn't run out of coffee or tea or need anything.
The location isn't right in the busy tourist spots on the island, but I really preferred that much more than staying in a busy, noisy area like Kona. I slept very well every night, and it was nice not waking up by anything other than sunlight, as nature intended. There's no noise from traffic or construction, for example. The stars are so incredibly bright here at night! It was the first thing I noticed after parking my car and getting out on my first night. Maybe it's nature's way of reminding us to keep our heads up. :) The locals are friendly and the best coffee I had out of 6 different cafes was consistently at Ka Lae Coffee up the street on South Pt Road. It's also close to the black sands beach where I saw a turtle on the sand, the volcano national park and Pu'uhonua national park. So it's a great launchpad for adventure.
Wi-fi worked well for me and parking was very easy and convenient (another advantage over hotels or resorts). I'd highly recommend this accommodation and may return again myself.
