Staying with Louisa is like staying with your favorite Aunt! She is so nice and cool and she took us to a fun snorkeling spot and showed us some nice hot springs, it just felt like she treated us like family. She told us about all kinds of goings on in the area and there is stuff happening there all the time. They had live music in Pahoa all up and down the street, there are multiple farmers markets that have delicious food and so much more. There is a retreat center really close to her house that offers fun classes and yummy high class food at a reasonable price.
The neighborhood is beautiful and so peaceful, and it's right along the most beautiful road that runs along the coast, there is a clothing optional beach and further down there are warm pools and nice snorkeling tide pool. Plus if you need a snack just pull off by a mango tree and collect as much as you can eat, they are everywhere.
Of all the places we visited on the island this area was fortunately our favorite, it is a small town and the locals were so friendly and nice and laid back just like Louisa. The people just enjoy life which is easy when you live in a tropical paradise.
The Bali Hut is very nice, it's beautiful with intricately carved wood, lots of details. It has a very open feel because of the screened windows all the way around. I loved the night time because the coqui frogs are crickets are loud and lulled me to sleep. If you do plan on exploring at night I recommend bug spray if you are sensitive to mosquitoes like I am, on clear nights the stars are amazing, plus giant snails and toads come out. I got adventurous had way to much fun (I saw the giant snails mating!) and all bit up but my wife didn't have a hard time with them so it depends on how you react to them.
I would definitely stay there again, actually at some point in my life I would love to live in the area and I hope Louisa is still there so I can hang out with her and maybe join one of her hula classes. If you love feeling connected to nature like camping except with a comfortable bed and real toilet and hot shower than this may be the place for you. I just love it and Louisa!!!!!
