Hale Kohola was an amazing place to stay. The house was as described on the website and Arieh was a great host. The kitchen was well-equipped with all of the necessities and extras including condiments, spices, etc which cut down significantly on our grocery list. The house has plenty of beach towels, chairs, snorkeling equipment, beach gear and a beach umbrella.

We got in late on Saturday and had to take a taxi to the house before we could pick up our rental car Sunday morning. Arieh made sure there was fruit, eggs, toast and coffee in the house for breakfast and even gave us a ride to pick up the rental car so we wouldn't have to take another taxi. He went above and beyond as a host.

The a/c was broken during our visit in December, but we couldn't have cared less. Sleeping with the windows open gave us the chance to enjoy the ocean breeze and we were plenty comfortable. The outdoor shower was amazing after long days at the beach.

The location was excellent and convenient to Hapuna Beach and Mauna Kea (get there early or there will be nowhere to park). We also enjoyed the Seafood Bar and Grill for dinner on our last night which is right up the road.

Thank you, Arieh, for sharing your home with us and helping make our Hawaii vacation so enjoyable.

Mahalo!
