Our experience here was great! We loved how clean the whole house was and how well stocked the kitchen was. Having the espresso maker was so nice.
The only negative thing was the wifi (which we were warned us about). It was very hard to maintain video calls and send files via email. There’s also no LTE. One day the wifi was so bad while I was working, I had to drive 20 minutes into Pāhoa to sit in a parking lot with LTE to send emails.
The other this is we woke up twice around 3 am one night to the sound of someone checking door handles. We were warned by locals in Hawaii that the area of Pahoa could be sketchy. We were told to be careful about break-ins, especially car break-ins. We make sure to lock everything. I think this should be more clear to future guest. It’s a big hippie town and we felt very safe but just be careful bc someone was deff checking doors in the middle of the night.
