I really enjoyed my stay here. This house is GORGEOUS; the photos don't lie. I walked in and it smelled fantastic, felt inviting and relaxing, and was not only clean but they had some fruit, wine, and snacks waiting for me if I needed them. On multiple occasions I found myself forgoing my aggressive plans to nap on the couch, or read on the lanai. I only regret I didn't take advantage of the bathtub :) The bed was quite comfortable.
The location: It's about a half hour from Hilo, so you definitely feel like you're out in the country. But it's not a hassle to go there, quite easy. And even easier to go to the airport, making it a good spot for the beginning/end of your trip if you fly in/out of Hilo International. It also has solid proximity to Pahoa town in case you need a restaurant, post office, or shop.
The only thing about this place that was anything less than perfect was the noise. Specifically, animals. As is the case in many parts of the island of Hawai'i, there are chickens and dogs and frogs galore. I *adore* the sound of the frogs at night, and prefer to sleep with the windows open so I can hear them and get a nice breeze, but throughout the night and wee morning hours I had to really contend with roosters and other animals both near and far making quite a stir. If any of these things trip you up, keep the windows closed and you'll be fine.
Bottom line: I will be definitely checking the availability of this place first on my next visit in the Hilo area!
