Our friends had previously stayed here and had recommended it such superlative terms that I thought the real thing couldn't possible live up to their description -- but it did! We had a wonderful time drinking coffee on our private porch in the mornings and listening to the wonderful symphony of birds every morning as the sun rose over the forest. The town of Pahoa is adorable, and Robert and Conrad's place is a great base for exploring the beautiful area of Puna and Hilo. Robert and Conrad were extremely helpful in guiding us to the best swimming and snorkeling spots suited to our ability level, and to seeing the incredible sight of hot lava flowing into the ocean, just a 15 minute drive from their place. Thank you for a wonderful experience! We will be back.
