I thought long and hard about the moral dilemma I faced writing this—do I write an honest review and encourage other people to come stay here bc it’s amazing? Or do I write a terrible one so I can keep this gem all to myself. 🤣 I’m kidding—but in all seriousness, I loved this Airbnb! I stayed for a whole month. The location is so peaceful. It’s fairly remote. You’re about 25 min from a grocery store and restaurants in downtown Pahoa. (There’s a small market called Uncle
robert’s down the street that has basics.) I have T-Mobile and didn’t have service in the area (which I thought was he great haha. I did have service in old town Pahoa.)
The washer can be slightly temperamental—whisper sweet nothings to it and pet it lovingly and if that doesn’t work, stop pressing all the buttons—just press ‘on’ once and ‘start’ once. Leave it on the normal setting.
There are so many wonderful Airbnb experiences nearby as well so check those out. Enjoy the sound of the frogs and rain at night. This is the rain forest—expect rain and mosquitos. But bring some bug spray and you’ll be golden. The rain (at least in June) would pour for like 5-10 min and then stop. I loved it! Enjoy the peace in nature and reset. It had all the amenities for a comfortable stay. Couldn’t have asked for a better retreat!
