I loved the location of Catherine's home. It is situated in between Kona and Volcanoes National Park (and Hilo isn't that far either). My two teenagers and I were able to take in all of the island over our stay. The home is in a quiet, dark area and the night sky was amazing! I couldn't believe how many stars you could see!
The home itself was perfect for my kids and I. They are 16 & 17 years old and I worried it would be too small for us, but it was never a problem. There is a coffee maker, microwave, toaster oven and refrigerator so we had breakfast & coffee in the mornings, explored all day, and came home to sleep. It was perfect! I would definitely stay here again. We felt more like locals than tourists.
