We had a wonderful stay at Konrad and Robert's place. The view is beautiful from the lanai. And the house is stocked with literally everything you need to enjoy your stay. They even had a bowl of fresh fruit and some essentials in the fridge for us! There is a fabulous kitchen for cooking and a grill outside. The beds were extremely comfortable as well. I loved the modern decor and all the windows and ceiling fans really added to the relaxing experience. After we planned our trip here we heard from friend that there was nothing to do on this side of the island. But they are wrong! There's snorkeling (equipment at the house) black sand beaches, parks, restaurants, shopping (I liked the shops in Hilo) It's only about an hour to the volcano national park and I think it was 1.5 to Mauna Kea. My recommendation would be to not over plan your trip here because you will want to have time to unwind and relax at the house because it's so nice. Try the Golden Goat in downtown Pahoa and definitely go to the tide pools for snorkeling!
