I would 100% recommend Karen’s place. Located in Holualoa, it is a hidden gem and so close to Kona. It is tucked away on a small farm, where there are horses, cats, roosters, dogs and more. The one bedroom contained a large bed where I co-slept with my two small children (ages 4 and 7) and the front and dining rooms overlook the water. Since Holualoa is on a higher elevation, you can also take in the gorgeous views while you cook. I loved the details she put into the unit’s design- It was cozy, aesthetically pleasing and contained everything we needed for our stay. We had lots of light and we could feel the cool breeze circulating throughout the space. We look forward to visiting again!
