Perfect home for a family looking for a unique location in a quiet neighborhood with the ocean right out the back door. The black sand beach is just a short walk away, lava fields along the ocean right out the door and the Saturday Farmers market a few miles away. Great grocery store in Pahoa which is about a 15-20 minute drive away. Home was cool enough for us at all times as the cool ocean breeze had plenty of windows and screen doors to flow through. When the skies are clear the stars are amazing out on the back porch. This part of the island is fairly remote and it will be a drive to other attractions like the Volcanoes national park and Hilo, but you cannot find a more relaxing home! Ruth is a wonderful host and very helpful to us.
