We stayed 12 days on Big Island for the Ironman World Championship.
Choosing the wonderful Ohana from Caryl was the best decision we made. The house is located with a scenic view from the hill, so the temperatures are just perfect and not as hot and humid as on the coast. The appartment is cozy and tastefully furnished and has all comfort we needed. The kitchen is superb equipped with machines and utensils. Even snorkeling equipment, beach chairs and other outdoor equipment was available. We enjoyed a wonderful view to the Ocean on our terrace and the nice garden with tropical fruits surrounding the house. We felt immediately like home and whenever needed, Caryl was such a great host supporting us. In fact it felt like family.
All our activities were perfect to start from here. Even our regular pre-race rides to Kailua-Kona with our rented car were very quick and easy and we always found places to park.
So we can also strongly recommend this beautiful Ohana to all Ironman participants that may think to stay close to the event area. You will love to stay at Caryl's Ohana, quiet with a cool breeze, easy to reach, not far from the airport and a perfect location to start bike training on the Queen K. Highway and running down the Energy Lab right to the coast.
We would love to come back again
