The best choice we made for our stay! We had a wonderful warm welcome at Ka'awa Loa. Everything was exactly as described on Airbnb and thanks to Michael's super detailed description of how to get there, it was easy to find. I was initially concerned that this could be too far away from everything (wanting to organise some dive trips) but it really isn't at all. A car is needed anyway, and it only takes 20 minutes to get into Kona. But at Ka'awa Loa you'll be a lot closer to one of the best snorkel spots on the island (Two Step).
Volcano is only a 2 hours drive and you can do a tour around the whole island in a day as well.

The peace & quiet and the magnificent views from the veranda are priceless! A big Thanks to the hosts for sharing such a nice, well maintained spot with other people. Why would anyone want to stay in a beehive of a condo?

You can have as much or as little interaction with the hosts as you want, but Michael, Greg and Hannah combine a wealth of knowledge and tips about the island, things to do and see. We didn't miss anything at all.

The breakfast is so delicious and plentiful, it nearly tied us over to dinner ;-) And the afternoon baking (who doesn't like brownies?) was a welcome filler after a day full of exploring.
If we ever travel to Big Island again, we will certainly stay here again - it is a wonderful place! And if you want something a little extra: the suite is absolutely worth it! We spent 2 nights in the suite and 3 nights upstairs (half bath). Event though you share the showers for the upstairs rooms, we never had a problem finding it empty, so nothing to worry about. And there's always the outdoor lava showers ;-)
