Gwindolyn's beautiful Hawaiian home in Keaau is the perfect place to escape from the stressors of everyday life. With copious amounts of local flora and fauna, the house feels comfortably secluded. The property is conveniently located between Keaau and Pahoa, and only a short drive away from Hilo. There are many small produce stands in the immediate area as well as local farmer's markets to purchase locally sourced goods. There is a "local's only" shoreline access point within 1.5mi of the property (no beach). We've enjoyed daily morning walks to the shore for exploration, as well as hours of peaceful ocean watching. During our time at the coastline we've seen many honu (sea turtles), two pods of dolphins, a few small flocks of nenes (geese, Hawaiian state bird), and countless amazing underwater creatures found in the endless tide pools along the lava rock waterfront. In addition to what we believe is the perfect rental and location to explore the Puna area, the hospitality and kindness of Gwin and Mango are stellar. Better hosts could not be asked for. If we could nominate you for super hosts, we certainly would! Mahalo nui loa for sharing your home and aloha with us <3
