Cristina here (Joes wife) where do I begin?! This was my husbands 2nd time staying and my first. This 2nd time we stayed in the shadow room.
Property: Breathtaking! Brett has such a beautiful home on a beautiful lot. Its so clean and well taken care of. So many beautiful flowers and plants! You can hear so many birds and the coqui frogs at night! They're loud but I absolutely loved it!
Location: Personally I really fell in love with the location. Pahoa was awesome and Hilo is no more than 30 minutes away.
Parking: Extremely convenient, we were able to park right in front of our entrance doors
Shadow room: It was only my husband and I who stayed so we had plenty of room. There's a spacious very comfy couch/daybed set up downstairs that sleeps 1 comfortably and a very comfy bed upstairs for 2. There is only 1 restroom located downstairs but it was not a big deal at all for us to head up and down the stairs. The room upstairs is so charming!
Kitchen: All the appliances were really nice! Our shadow room had everything we needed, toaster, coffee pot, at the kitchen utensils you need. He had water nice and cold and room temperature ready for us too.
They had beach recommendations for us which we loved. And the porch! We enjoyed our coffees on the lanai while admiring the beautiful rain and sunshine that would alternate.
Just writing this review gets me excited because we will most definitely be back.
