This was everything that a five-star stay would be. Kathleen is an amazing host and the house was everything we hoped for during our vacation.
The kitchen has everything you need to cook your own food and have some wonderful, family meals. The beds were wonderful and comfortable for everyone in our family. The bathrooms were clean, the air conditioner was extremely effective, and the location was unbeatable! We spent most of our days exploring the AMAZING island and coming home to such a comfortable home honestly made our vacation as great as it was. Our family talked multiple times about how the privacy we experienced was part of what made our time as great as it was.
The house is located centrally in Hilo and the convenience is unbeatable. The neighborhood was quiet but still so close to so many great places to eat, see, and explore. My whole family would like to come back to Hawaii and when we do, we anticipate staying here again if Kathleen is still hosting.
So many parts of our vacation were amazing BECAUSE of the location and because of Kathleen. I asked her for some ideas of things to do and she was great at providing some suggestions (that we loved) and she was friendly, easy to contact, and just all around wonderful. Staying here was like staying with family or friends. Kathleen's house had all our needs easily taken care of and the house was clean, open, friendly, and wonderfully decorated. If you are looking for a quiet place to rest and relax, whether between adventures or just for a peaceful vacation- this is it.
Kathleen, thank you for being such an amazing host. We are so thankful to have stayed with you and look forward to seeing you again! :-)
