Fantastic spot in between Volcano and Hilo, plus Pahoa/Puna isn't too far considering the long drive to get there from anywhere. David was incredibly gracious and very communicative; he even let us know ahead of time that they had a black out (due to a very legit storm that caused high winds and flash flooding) and he had the place set up with flashlights and candles. He wanted to be sure we had back up plans for a meal in case we planned on cooking at home. The space is private and quiet (I don't count the sound of the coqui frogs as noise. They're peaceful and, you're staying in the country so you have to expect some wildlife noises). The decor is very tasteful and the apt is really stocked very thoughtfully which included coffee, fresh fruit, and even rice and a rice maker! We also had a cooler, ice, beach towels, etc to borrow. Their dogs xena and zaza were as friendly as can be. I highly recommend this place for a variety of reasons and, again, the proximity to volcano (about 30 min) and Hilo (about 30 min) was fantastic. Much mahalo David and Bonnie for sharing your space! And who knows - maybe one day we'll be neighbors! 😉
