stay at ka'u coast

We had a great time at Na'alehu. We arrived after dark and the road to the apartment was a little bit scary, as some parts are not paved. But just keep going to the top of the hill and you'll find the place. Vickie and Wesley were very friendly and exeptionally helpful during our stay - thank you! The place is close to south point, green sands beach and Punalu'u black sand beach (where green sea turtles sometimes come to rest). We also recommend the Punalu'u bakeshop with delicious treats.

Great location for a South Island visit

What a lovely spot. The perfect location for exploring the Ka’u area or even Hawaiian Volcano National Park. The rental was lovely and perfect for us two. Very clean and well equipped, and quiet except for some neighbors chickens aroused by a nighttime rain storm. It was nice to do some local things (Farmer’s market, lazing at nearby Whittington Beach Park, exploring South Point) and not just whiz by like we have in the past. Hosts were really nice, gecko watching was fun, and Vickie’s artwork is exceptional as well. I’d stay again and do a quad tour next time.

Anniversary Getaway

Beautiful Ohana suite. Very clean, very comfortable bed! This was perfect for my husband and I - we stayed for a week. Located half way between Hilo and Kona in a beautiful little town, Naalahu. Vickie provided soap, shampoo, conditioner, etc and that was very convenient. The wild chickens and goats are adorable.

Very efficient, clean property. Loved the cool ocean breezes going through when you open the 2 doors

Vicki supplied everything you could possibly need. Perfectly stocked kitchen for preparing our own meals. We felt like we were the only ones there, very private. The bed was the most comfortable bed of our whole trip. Very convenient location to go to the volcano’s or beaches. Only drawback….it was way to close to the bakery. 😉😉
