Phenominal; that is the word to describe our time with Robert and Konrad in their beautiful Pahoa home. After spending time in Kona, and with peevious experience staying in hotels in Hilo, we felt like we had finally had our true Hawaii experience. Two bedrooms, bath, small kitchen area and living room were certainly big enough for our family. But with the addition of the very large, livable porch area made living here, well, living! Surrouneded by rainforest akin to a jungle, Robert and Konrad keep a cultivated garden with trimmed lawns that are the buffer between the house and he forest. About a 25-35 minute drive from Hilo, we found it very workable for visitng this side of the island. A child's paradise, with peacocks, geckos, lizards and places to explore, we loved this home for our family. A washer and dryer right outside the second bedroom, it made an ideal place for our family to feel at home.
