We had the time of our lives at Catherine's! It was perfectly located on the south part of the Big Island of Hawaii and allowed us to take numerous day trips alternating up the East and West side of the island. We never missed seeing anything! She was so thoughtful and so considerate. We LOVED staying here. The price was INCREDIBLE and we had an incredible view on top of the mountain overlooking the lava fields and the ocean in the distance. Every day we were there, we felt like we were coming home when we returned. Everything was perfect with the amenities as well. We had a big refrigerator which Catherine had stocked for us! She also had a coffee machine with excellent coffee and filters for us to use as well as a toaster oven and microwave. The internet was excellent and the wide screen television and what looked like over 200 DVDs to watch in the evening added entertainment when we needed it. The breeze always gently blew across us when we went outside and the neighborhood was so quiet. We always slept very well and felt like we were on the mountain all by ourselves. She also took careful pains to tell us where some of the best places on the island were for us to enjoy. What a WONDERFUL host! If we are lucky enough to go back to Hawaii, this is the place where we will always stay.
