We had a wonderful stay and we are happy that we picked this property. The entire area is still affected by volcanic activity which we found quite interesting. We were happy to help bring tourism back to the Pahoa area. Some nearby roads are still closed and there are some gases in the air. We loved talking to local people about their personal experiences of when the earthquakes and eruption happened. The property is private and still pretty even after the volcanic damage. We enjoyed the Polynesian decor, the hot tub, surround sound speakers, the natural light, the airflow through the house, and the resident cat. The house and large porch were a perfect oasis for us and had everything we needed. The bed and sheets were comfortable and we loved waking up to the sound of rain on the roof. There is a full size refrigerator and gas stove. There is a grocery store in nearby Pahoa. There is a nice black sand beach close by and it was an easy drive to Volcano National Park from the house. Mike was usually around the property if we wanted to seek him out and ask him questions. We feel blessed to have stayed here and we are thankful that the property was not destroyed by lava. Each time that you walk around the property you will see more incredible flowers, plants, and spiders than the previous walk. We loved it here and we will be back.
