Kalia made everything about our stay so easy and wonderful. She was gracious with her time when we wanted advice on what to see and do and gave us complete privacy at all other times even though she is nearby.
The house was clean, well-stocked, and ample for our needs. We especially loved the outdoor shower, the view from the bedroom, and lots of time on the front porch. It's a great location for both sunrises and sunsets.
Personally, we loved the location of the house in Kohala as a base for seeing the rest of the island. It's close to Waimea for the roads heading east, close to a bunch of great beaches on the Kona side, and also close to nice hikes near Hawi. Given that this was our first trip to the Big Island and we wanted a broad survey of what the whole island offered, it was a great spot for us.
When we come back to the Big Island, we would love to stay with Kalia again.
