Karoline's place is a delight; and so is Karoline! Everything in the rental works well and is clean and maintained. Hard to convey how perfect it was for us--especially after having just stayed at a few places without the hospitality, care, and professionalism this place shows. Also, we loved having visits from Hano, her sweet and well-behaved dog, and enjoyed all our passing interactions with Karoline when she was working in her beautiful garden. Perhaps not a place for an extremely long stay since the kitchen lacks a regular stove, but she has equipped it well with everything one could ever need for vacation cooking. Having spent a lot of time on Big Island, this stay confirmed that Holualoa is a charming and wonderfully central location while being out of the fray. And you couldn't ask for a better hostess while staying in a faultless place!
