Pahoa is a nice location for Hilo adventures including the black sand beaches and volcanoes national park. Lots of local flavor; we only stayed a few days and there were 2 local farmers markets we were able to visit and enjoy. The property itself is situated adjacent to the forest with no AC, so keep that in mind for your stay. It gets a little warm and humid upstairs, but it didn’t bother us. We hope the owners make a few adjustments, such as new towels, which it seemed the humidity has done a number on. Otherwise, we had a great stay!
