Kaeo and Karl’s hale was the perfect place to spend the last few days of our honeymoon. It’s located about halfway between Volcano and Hilo, a few miles off of a main road and feels secluded without being isolated. The property is beautiful and is essentially in a rainforest but the only bugs you’ll see are mosquitoes, which shouldn’t be an issue as long as you don’t leave the bedroom door wide open. The hosts incorporate so many special touches into your stay: a pupu platter upon arrival, a cute chalkboard sign, snacks, drinks, and more. We didn’t get the chance to meet Karl but Kaeo is an absolute gem and wonderful host. We couldn’t have asked for a better stay!
