This home was perfect for our party of 8 (which included 4 children). It was beautiful inside and out, and in very close distance to great local spots. We liked Pele' s for breakfast, and snorkeling in the Kapoho tide pools. I also very much appreciated Cathryn' s gorgeous artwork throughout the home, and the sweet book of nearby attractions and "rules of the house," which was whimsically illustrated. Art supplies and children's books were a nice touch for the kids. We had all we needed and more. A wonderful first time in Pahoa! Thanks Cathryn!
