Caryl and John were the best hosts! They were so kind to us which made our experience so enjoyable. We had such an amazing time staying in their apartment, it is so homey and lovely (HGTV) I wish I could live there. They really made us feel at home. We were given a personal touch that you can NOT get at a 5 star resort. Every night Caryl checked in on us to see how our day went and prepared more recommendations for next day. She prepared and list of several ideas for each day. We were given several recommendations on food and everyone were spot on. They were local hole in the wall places that only locals would know and eat. Can't say enough about the food. Along with the food we were given many beaches to visit all were beautiful. We also were given full use of a cooler, beach chairs and sun umbrella and boogie boards. Caryl gave us several things to do and places to visit and all were amazing. The Volcano National Park was amazing along with Mauna Kea. Wish we had more time to do more that she recommended. Before we left John show us some of his amazing art work. Can't say enough about our stay, but I can say you can't go wrong staying with Caryl and John.
