Faith was quick to respond and super easy to coordinate the rental with. The house was as advertised, clean, comfortable, full of goodies (coolers, beach towels, camp chairs) and made for a great base for exploration of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Hilo, and other parts of the Big Island.
The house is in a quiet, peaceful area about 10-15 minutes from Pahoa where you'll find food, gas, restaurants, etc.
Check out the November 2014 lava flow at the nearby Pahoa transfer station, black sand beach at Punaluu Beach Park (sea turtles can be seen here), Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, Rainbow Falls, Akaka Falls, and the Maku'u Farmers Market.
Hosts like Faith are what makes staying in an AirBNB rental great!!
