Karen’s place is really wonderful. Nestled in a residential area, it’s surrounded by beautiful mountains and quiet enough at night to sleep with the doors open and enjoy the Hawaiian breezes. The location really can’t be beat. There are so many incredible beaches within 10 minutes drive. In 5-7 min, there are tons of restaurants, Costco (for cheap pizza), a grocery store and shopping. The extras like beach chairs, coolers, snorkels, and beach towels make it easy to enjoy the island and pack light. So many thoughtful touches including Keurig coffee, high quality kitchen ware, and even plates and cups for the kids. The master bed is super comfy. Our kids loved the bunk beds and the futon. Tons of guide books in the apartment, plus Karen gave us lots of great tips. Great communication. The house was spotless. Our flight was late on check out day, and Karen allowed us to have a late check out. A wonderful stay - we can’t wait to come back to Hawaii and Karen’s place.
