Karen's place was ideal for our one-week stay on the Big Island; it's exceedingly comfortable and accessible by car to anywhere on the island. We loved the lanais, outdoor (but sheltered) bath and shower, fruit trees, and decor. There are great restaurants and foodstuffs in the nearby town of Na'alehu, only a couple miles down the road, and the location on the highway made sight-seeing really convenient. Karen was also really communicative and helpful at every step. Highly recommend!
