Arieh's home was perfect for us during our stay on the Big Island. We traveled with two small children, and he ensured we had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. There was a high chair, a pack n play, and beach equipment. Our daughters especially loved the crayons, coloring books, and sand toys. We were thankful to stay in a kid-friendly home where we didn't have to worry about them when they explored the house and yard. There was nice decor and it felt like home, but it wasn't over the top fancy (which we -or our budget- weren't looking for). The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed to cook several big meals while we were there. And the view, what a view! We could watch the sun rise over the mountains in the front and the sun set over the ocean out back every evening. Arieh was super helpful and responded very quickly whenever we had questions before we booked and throughout our stay. He gave precise directions to the house (helpful when arriving in the dark!) and recommended things to do and places to eat in the area. We explored the entire island, and Hale Kohola was a great home base for all we did.
