The first welcoming feeling that we experienced was of knowing that we were arriving to a serendipitous destination. Leave your preconceived ideas behind...you will find wonder at the end of this strange and nearly vertical driveway. The next welcoming feeling we experienced was from Hannah and her warmth and smile and open arms. All that we wished our short vacation would be was met and exceeded at Ka'awa Loa. Everything felt authentic, and relaxed. For those unplanned times between adventures, we had no problem just allowing ourselves to simply enjoy the many pleasures of the plantation: the ocean view from the comfortable veranda, the lovely swing in the mango tree, the outdoor volcano shower (you'll find out when you come!), and the delicious coffee and late night treats. Michael's breakfasts were always healthy and delicious and a little extravagant :)) Thank you, Michael!

We would highly recommend that if you stay here, stay at least 3 nights (as we did) to fully enjoy this property. Four or even five might be more ideal!
