Idaho, Oregon, Connecticut travelers' review
Review Submitted: April 10, 2009
Date of Stay: March 2009
Our group of seven fully appreciated the spaciousness, cleanliness, comfort level, fully equipped kitchen, video and audio equipment, and general overall quality of Kia Hale. There was more than enough room for us to gather in different rooms and also have space for those who were seeking a more quiet location for reading, napping, or listening to music. We wound up not ever using the large loft area that could easily accommodate several more people for sleeping. Within the house features were particularly important to us because several days the weather was not conducive to outdoor activity. The furnishings, decor, comfortable beds, and extensive recent tiling work on the floors all contributed to a very pleasant indoors experience when the weather did not cooperate. On pleasant days the private and peaceful backyard was another feature that could be fully appreciated. The location of the home allows easy walking access to several beaches, tennis courts, and the resort's swimming pool. Many interesting hikes can take place directly from the home. One quickly gets a feel for the surrounding roads and access to many of the island's most popular destinations is relatively easy.
We shared meal planning and preparation, only going out for dinner one time. In addition to Costco, there are other grocery chains to meet your needs. Very good quality local fish and poultry can be purchased in the Koloa area. Numerous local farmers markets provide produce, including particularly good fruit selections. The kitchen, divided into two areas, provided much space for several people to be working at the same time. Everything was in good working order, and there was a large stock of silverware, dish ware, and small kitchen appliances
The photos and video are quite recent and very accurately portray the property. The owner was very helpful both through telephone and email communication. The quality of the home clearly reflects pride of ownership and concern for the experience of renters.
Kia Hale helped us have a good family vacation even though we ran into some uncooperative weather. The home provides a very comfortable setting for larger groups.
