Buck's place gives you a more authentic feel of a Hawaiian vacation. The cottage is a perfect size for two and was a great home base for us as we toured the Big Island, especially the volcano and active lava flows. It has a small fridge to keep some groceries and water cold, and there are plates and utensils you can use. Buck brought tea to our porch every morning which was a lovely way to start the day. The breakfast Buck offers is a great way to kick off a day of sightseeing! It is very filling and fresh! The town of Pahoa is relatively close and has a great farmers market on Sundays. Buck was a gracious host and certainly made our vacation a memorable one!
