We stayed at three different locations on our trip and this was hands down my favorite. I have already told my boyfriend this is EXACTLY where I want to stay when we come back. The cottage is exquisite and many extras were already provided. Our host provided a very informative manual about the area, and gave us a tour and told us about the things travelers actually want to know. Where the cool party is, where the secret beach is, etc. But the location is what I was most grateful for. You are literally right across the street from the path to a beautiful beach, about 30 minutes from the mesmerizing volcano park, and while we didn't get to explore it, downtown Pahoa seemed like a good spot for a chill night out. The beach is accessible by a rocky path, so I don't recommend for anyone who has unsteady footing. Also, the cottage has many gold dust day geckos, which some people may not like, but I adored. They are beautiful and our host mentioned how to win their favor so I had fun interacting with them. Ocean sound and coqui frogs at night, ocean view from bedroom.
