Amazing ocean view of Papa Bay. We very much enjoyed being on the back deck each evening and enjoying the sunset and the sunrise. The house is beautiful! We stayed at 3 different houses during our trip and this was by far the nicest. The kitchen is well equipped and nice. The house is airy and the master bedroom and bath, with views of the ocean were amazing. I had to remind myself not to take a long shower (catchment water) because I was in awe of the view and kept forgetting I was supposed to be showering!
Others have mentioned the drive down the hill. It’s 5 miles and goes from 1400 ft to sea level and took about 10 mins. It’s not bad though. It’s a bit barren for my liking once you reach the bottom, lots of lava but I expected more trees to have been planted since the most recent eruptions were some time ago. But honestly once at the house, that was long forgotten with that ocean view!
Everything went easily from payment to check in to leaving. Although leaving was hard.
We took our garbage to the “village” on our last night along with leftover items we didn’t get to use, and met some of the nicest “local” people. We offered our drinks and food and they invited us to eat with them! Remember: Don’t judge by what you see. Say hello and be friendly and you’ll get the same treatment back. That was one of the most enjoyable and memorable parts of our trip!
Truly enjoyed our stay. Visit the Coffee Shack which isn’t too far away. Yummy food and amazing view! Loved it! Thank you Sarah!
