Overall it was a very unique experience and I highly recommend it. My friend and I enjoyed the stay a lot. We took so many pictures as the house just looked great from every angle.
It was just about the right level of closeness to nature with the numerous windows, outdoor decks, outdoor shower room, etc. All the windows have screens, although there could still be a couple bugs, which we didn’t mind.
The concierge staff Shawna was very respondent and helpful. The closest place where you can grab food and things is the town Pahoa, which is 22 minutes away from the house. The black sand beach is just a couple minutes away and you should check it out! Be mindful that it could be very dark and a little hard to get around after dusk on the first day of your arrival, especially the spiral staircase.
We would love to come back next time when we revisit the Big Island!
