Kat & Joe's place looked great .. and it lived up to it. The location is just south of Captain Cook, about 20-30 minutes to the grocery and coffee shops, 20 minutes to the nearest beach and every beach nearby is awesome. Sand beaches, kea holes, amazing for snorkeling, lava beaches...
There are dogs, cats and ducks on the property, so you'll be like another member of the family rather than all by yourself.
But the family is very welcoming, including the furry/feathery ones. Plus, the fruit grows on trees! Star fruit, mandarin, bananas, grapefruits, passion fruits and gorgeous papayas... that were just out of reach for us!)
Kat, Joe, and the other family members living in different houses on the property were all very kind, left us to our privacy as much as we wanted, but were also very quick to respond and so gracious to help with whatever we needed.
The kitchen tools & utensils seemed to be brand new including a large and excellent Henckels knife set - after so many Airbnbs with dull dull kitchen knives, it was so great to be able to cook with sharp knives.
We'll definitely stay again when we can get back to Hawaii.
