One of the quietest places I've ever stayed.
Oh my goodness, we really loved our stay at the Tropical Zen Bungalow. Everything is just as described, and better. The french doors, the screened lanai and the windows provide plenty of light and wonderful breezes. The location is pretty, surrounded by plants and so serene. No clank and hum of machinery, no landscape crews running lawn mowers and leaf blowers, and the only rooster I heard sounded several blocks away.
The bungalow is very clean and well maintained. The bed is comfy, and the lanai is wonderful, a great place to eat a meal, or just hang out and relax. The kitchenette holds a surprising amount of conviences and we enjoyed preparing meals there. Island Naturals Pahoa Market and Deli is a great place to find groceries.
Abbie provides beach towels and some beach gear for use, and has put together a great list of things to do and see in the area. The ocean is just a few blocks away, and the sunrises are incredible. The community is a dark sky community, so no streetlights to spoil the view of the stars. A true get away.
