Our stay at Susan and Andre’s was excellent. After some brief correspondence with Andre I was convinced that it’s be worth making an overnight trip from Kona, where I was staying and attending a wedding, to Pahoa/Puna. I really wanted to get a feel of local Big Island culture, and this was the perfect way to do it. Minutes from Kehena Beach (which is an experience in itself) and also a very close drive to the new lava flows, this was located in a perfect location. Andre was super, super (did I say super?) responsive to us. It was a hot summer Hawaiian day when we stayed, but Andre had the A/C running for us even before we arrived. Ran great. We got excellent sleep. It’s truly a great place to stay and I recommend it wholeheartedly to those wanting an authentic Hawaiian experience.
