This is one of the coolest Airbnbs we have ever stayed in! The house is so wonderfully designed and leaves you in awe when you first walk in. We enjoyed staying here the last leg of our trip and catching up on work before flying home. It’s also very close to an incredible black sand beach.
Our only word of warning is that this area seems in a state of transition after the 2018 eruption where many properties were destroyed and the pandemic. It’s not for everyone. We’re from New Orleans and love weird characters and the hippie vibe of Pahoa is cool but there’s also an undercurrent of sketchiness and lots of hitchhikers/transients on the road close by to the property. Car break ins are common in town.
The host mentions in the guide that people don’t lock their doors here and though we always felt safe, we don’t think everyone would feel comfortable with this. Don’t recommend this area to women traveling alone honestly or those who aren’t adventurous. That said, the property itself is a dream!
