Kate & Will contacted us prior to our arrival with details on how to find their house and warmly welcomed us when we got there, offering some tips on their preferred beaches and restaurants as well as providing special treats for us. Hale Walua was convenient to both Kailua-Kona and the towns to the South as well as all the beaches that dot the leeward side of the Big Island. Comfortable bed and nice sitting area. Bathroom Kitchen/living area was adequate for the 2 of us and offered the possibility of eating meals on the patio or in their lovely garden area. We highly recommend Hale Walua.
