To quote my wife "I feel like we should get them a gift even though we are paying to stay here". That about sums up the warmth and generosity we received over the week we spent in the home of Evy and Robinette.
Their home and garden are beautiful. We were in awe of the craftsmanship and intuitive design from the minute we arrived. I will be thinking back to its design when we build our dream home one day.
The kitchen and common spaces are clean, organized and inviting. The bedroom and bathroom are nothing short of superb. The outdoor shower is amazing. Nothing like a shower under the stars to end the day.
The location is quiet. Can't stress that enough. Besides the coqui frogs you won't hear a "peep". About 10 minutes outside of the small town of Pahoa, their home surrounded by dense forest making neighbours almost invisible.
There is plenty to explore beyond first glance in the Puna/Pahoa area. Warm salt water ponds, multiple farmers markets, clothing optional beaches and live lava flows make it 100% worth more than a day of your time here. Take a queue from the locals and slow down for a minute while you're here.
We loved every minute of our time here and wish one to day to return. We feel like family and you can't put a price on that.
