I cannot say enough good things about our stay at Karoline's apartment! It was as close to perfect as it is possible for a vacation rental to be. Spotlessly clean, comfortable and homelike, it also was in a very convenient location - a pleasant drive of 10 or 15 minutes from Kailua-Kona, right in the middle of all the coffee plantations. We took day trips to Hapuna Beach and Puʻuhonua o Hōnaunau National Historical Park (on Karoline's excellent recommendations) which were easy distances away. The islands were experiencing unusual heat and humidity while we were there, yet we had no problems sleeping here, due to the higher elevation and the several good fans provided. The outdoor space and yard were a big bonus, too - so pleasant eating breakfast on the lanai surrounded by tropical plants. Our only regret about this stay was that we didn't book it for our whole Big Island trip - it would have been worth the extra drive time from the Hilo side to have been able to come back "home" to this place! Thank you, Karoline! We hope to stay with you again someday!
