Staying in Eco Hale was the highlight of our trip. We have traveled all over the world, always using AirBnB, and there has never been a host like Kaeo. She takes great pride in her space, and makes sure you have everything you need for a relaxing, complete stay. The difference with Kaeo and Karl and with Eco Hale, is the true experience of a Bed and Breakfast. There was everything provided from sweats and slippers, to a fully stocked kitchen, to the drinking water tank being magically filled every day, to a thank you note and parting gift at the end. Nothing was missed, and it made us feel welcome, relaxed, and at home far away from home. Even with all of these extras, we did not see Kaeo or Karl during our stay after check-in, and were given the privacy that allowed for a perfect stay. Eco Hale is a dreamy little spot with a magical bathroom and a porch perfect for playing cards, eating dinner, and listening to the rain and coquis. We missed making pancakes on the porch and eating fresh fruit every morning the rest of our trip! Such a perfect way to start your day. We only wish we would have booked it towards the end of our trip when that vacation exhaustion starts to set in and you want to relax in your accommodations! Kaeo has a passion for hosting and it truly shines through. We would recommend to anyone staying on Hawaii Island to stay here! Thank you Kaeo!
