Cathy’s home in a beautiful gated community provided the perfect balance between access to Hwy 19 for touring the island and being a respite spot where we spent some days staying put and enjoying the hot tub, pool and beautiful ocean views. Close to Waimea, Hawi and the resorts for dining, we enjoyed breakfast and some lunches prepared in Cathy’s well appointed kitchen and also dined at some wonderful restaurant gems on the island. Star gazing from Cathy’s yard made the trip to Moana Kea’s Visitor Information Center not missed. The night sky is as spectacular as the sunset views. Cathy was available to answer any questions and made us feel like family. Her home is filled with her remarkable art uniquely capturing Hawaii in photographic images. This is a spot worth booking year over year! We shall be back for sure.
