The house was lovely. It was in a nice local neighborhood. The sound of the frogs and crickets at night was deafening and inspiring. The ocean is not too far and can be seen at a distance from the lanai. Pahoa was about 20 minute drive, beaches and warm ponds about the same. I would stay definitely there again. Thanks Susan & Andre for having us is your beautiful home.

My advice to a first time guest of the area is to make sure to save the GPS map you use to get there from Pahoa, or print out the one they send you, as your cell service will stop once you get there. Then you, like me, will be lost and have a hard time getting back to Pahoa from there without a map. I was able to get back to Pahoa with some explanation from their local host, but my GPS stopped working and I got lost on my first attempt to leave the house. You can send a text from upstairs in the house on some carriers but no phone service.
