We really enjoyed our stay at Patricia’s little house. We have stayed near Honokaa before and really enjoy this cute Hawaiian town! This house was perfectly situated near the main street of the town. It was within just a few minutes walk of the shops and restaurants (check out Hina Rae’s Cafe and Cafe Il Mundo if you stay here!). It was nice to be away from the hustle and bustle of the resort scene and in the “real Hawaii”. It gives you chances to meet and talk with lots of locals!
We picked this spot because it was equidistant from both Hilo side activities and Kona side activities. Having said this, if it’s you’re first time visiting, realize it will put you about 45 mins away from everything. To us, this was much better than be 20 mins from Kona and 1 hour and 20 mins away from Hilo.
All in all, this was a great location and a nice house! Patricia was great with her response time and even let us do a late checkout because of our two little guys and their nap times. Excellent experience!
