Iliahi is a great host. My friend and I got quite lost trying to find the house. When we showed up almost an hour later than expected, her partner was still there to greet us. Iliahi also went above and beyond to accommodate us in the house when it was discovered that our cottage booking was in conflict with other guests. Many thanks and much appreciation.

After our initial confusion, the stay was completely trouble free. Plenty of information was provided for all the activities and sights in the nearby area. The property is situated across from a beautiful beach. if you're there on a Wednesday, don't miss the music/market night in nearby Kalapana - great food; fantastic music; local, joyous vibe that will immediately put a smile on your face - one of the best things we did the entire week on the island. A distinctly different experience in puna/east coast than in kailua/kona.

The house is a very relaxing and private space where you can let your hair down and shed your clothes as far as you dare. As darkness descends, the call of the tree frogs gets quite loud, but we found that the rhythmic chirping unexpectedly lulled us to sleep. I particularly enjoyed the loose boundary between interior and exterior spaces; the windows and doors can be left open to catch the ocean breezes without loss of privacy.

we had a wonderful, unique visit. mahalo.
