We stayed in five different places on the big island, and Robert and Konrad's was by far our favorite! We wished we could have stayed more than three nights and had more down time to sit on the beautiful lanai or lounge in the hammock. They thoughtfully provided some food staples in the fridge, fresh fruit from their own trees, umbrellas, and a guide book, and made us feel very welcome.

I took them up on their offer of eating out of the garden, and added chard, kale, and basil to our breakfasts on the lanai. Amazing! The kitchenette is efficient and well-equipped with quality tools and appliances, but it's small. It worked well enough to make breakfasts for two, but more elaborate meals would be tight.

The place was clean and modern, thoughtfully well-decorated, and the foam mattress was quite comfortable. Loved that the bedroom got nice and dark at night. The sound of frogs and geckos is all over the island, including here. Didn't bother me, but you may want earplugs!

There is lots to do around Pahoa, and Robert even printed out directions (with photos!) to his favorite snorkeling and swimming spot, which was a great recommendation. Long distance runners will have miles of quiet flat roads to choose from. Overall, we felt totally relaxed, safe, and lucky at this lovely home away from home. Highly recommend it!
