Kathleen's place is a beautiful and scenic way to enjoy a private getaway on the big island. The Captain Cook area is beautiful and quiet. We loved the charm of the little restaurants, shops, and gelato shops.
Kathy's place was a bit more rustic and a bit less private than I anticipated, but that did not take away from our trip. Kathy and her housemates are highly respectful of your space and will not bother you at all, just be aware that there are people around the property all the time, as they all live there too. Kathy says the spiders are harmless, and the geckos are adorable and very social, and they'll eat the bugs too. The hot tub and the pool were meticulously maintained. Kathy was immediately responsive with the few issues we had. Kathy is an incredible photographer and artist and her work adds incredible personal touches to the property.
We would absolutely come back to stay here again.
