Kaeo & Karl have the loveliest little getaway in the rainforest of Hawaii! My husband and I will never forget making breakfast and having coffee on the porch. Or using the Japanese soaking tub at the end of a day of exploring, while listening to the rainfall and coqui. They had things available for us to use, some that we didn't even think of bringing ourselves but we're surely useful on our daily adventures or just around the hale like umbrellas, flashlights, bug spray, a yoga mat, beach mats, a cooler.
They have a lovely collection of books about Hawaii. Hiking trail book, hawaiin birds book, hawaiin proverbs, hawaiin words.. etc.
They had left some extra masks, hand sanitizer, gloves and snacks for our use as well during our trip which we certainly needed at some point or another so that was nice!
there's a little market and Cafe (Dimple Cheek) about 10-15 minutes down the road which was nice and convenient! Also the volcano national park is just right around the corner about a 30 minute drive about, which is awesome. Lots of thingsto do there. hiking trails, the steam vents, seeing the actual volcano of course, but also restaurants and even a winery nearby.
last but not least Kaeo and Karl were the cherry on top to our stay. very welcoming and we were greeted with a bottle of wine for our anniversary, fresh baked goodies, fresh eggs from their hens, and some drinks and beer, even some sashimi that they had made! They were always available when we wanted recommendations. They were
great and they truly earned their title as super hosts. A trip we will never forget!
