We enjoyed a peaceful stay at Karoline's place. It was exceptionally clean and cozy, and in a quiet and beautiful location. We loved mornings on the lanai with coffee and breakfast, and evenings where there were often rain showers but also gorgeous sunsets when not too cloudy. Karoline is so hospitable and thoughtful and has provided everything guests might need, from a French press to beach gear to tupperwares and ice packs to yoga mats. The nearby Holualoa town is tiny but has some really nice art galleries. It isn't too far to Kailua Kona or Kealakekua, though the drive is pretty twisty and requires a lot of concentration. Also loved friendly nuzzles from resident dog Hano, who is so sweet and calm and won't bother you if you aren't into dogs. Absolutely would stay here again!
