Incredible stay at Aloha Kahakai in July/Aug of 2019. Spacious main living area with three off shoot bedrooms and a huge covered front porch. House is nestled in a remote tropical location - coqui frogs outside will sing you to sleep here. A skip away from the coast and just a 5-min drive to Kehena Black Sand beach (which has great shade) and has breathtaking views to either side of that beach. Rourk and Scott's place is super clean/organized and fully equipped with all you need - towels, kitchen ware, beach supplies, an outside rinse shower, helpful tips folder/books on Hawaii in the living room, grill on front porch, coffee maker, functioning wifi and condiments. Couldn't ask for more. It rained briefly a few times each day we were there. Famous Uncle Robert's is nearby for Wednesday gathering of music and fun. A painted church is nearby. Hilo is a 55min to hour drive north. Fly into Hilo vs. Kona if this is where you intend to stay. We loved driving north to the Hilo area to boiling pots, Rainbow Falls and Liliuokalani Gardens. We also drove to Volcano National Park from here. You can fly into Kona too, it just takes a couple hours or so of driving to get to this east side location from Kona. The house key is easy to find and food shopping can be done in Pahoa at Malama Market which is where we went. Living area seats four to five people very comfortably. We came to relax here and did just that! Recent lava flow from 2018 is about three mile drive away and should not be missed - Kaimu Chain of Craters road. Don't hesitate to contact Rourk or Scott with questions - they are available and helpful. Fully recommend Aloha Kahakai - we will be coming back!
