Karen and Tim are wonderful hosts and their space is the perfect place to retreat to after long days spent on the beach or otherwise exploring the big island.
Other reviewers seemed bothered by the noise from the nearby road and barking from their pack of adorable dogs, but we didn’t find either to detract from our stay, in fact and the doggies made our last three days in Hawaii so so wonderful. Karen’s pups were waiting to greet us whenever we came home and we looked forward to hanging out with the dogs for a little while every day.
Other things that made our stay great included lots of beach supplies (towels, a
sand mat, chairs, an umbrella, a big beach bag, a cooler), a beautiful private porch overlooking a lush garden and the ocean, a big, comfy bed for restful sleep,excellent and easy communication, help and flexibility when our checkout time was pushed back due to unexpected traffic, and expert recommendations on what to do to round out our first trip to the Big Island.
We would stay with Karen and Tim again in a heartbeat! <3
