Staying in this house has been like a dream for us. It's the most quiet place we've ever been. You can enjoy the nature and the silence in a beautiful place. You'll have all the facilities you need in the house, though. It's placed near Pahoa, where you can find restaurants and shops, and it takes like 30 min to go to Hilo. It's 1 hour from Hawaiian Volcanoes NP too.
Eliot has been a great host. He took us a tour near the last volcano eruption and through his land. He has brought us some of his avocados, they were delicious!
I can't explain with words how wonderful was our stay here.
The island is a paradise and Eliot 's house is the place where you'd like to live forever.
