Bottom line: we loved our three night stay at Ohia Malu Hale so much that we made plans to return for the final three days of our trip. The space is absolutely perfect for people who like to keep things simple, comfortable and have a nice place to cook meals in. It is quite a spacious 1bd/1ba, and there are two large closets so you can really settle in and not feel like your are surrounded by "stuff". The kitchen was well stocked, bed was comfortable, shower has good water pressure. Really, just perfect accommodations for a couple looking to relax away from resort-land. Even better, Kat and Joe were wonderful hosts, they are so accomodating and helpful. They made us feel like friends, not paying guests. I've stayed numerous places on the Big Island and this is definitely my favorite.
