If your idea of night life is looking up & being able to actually see the Milky Way, this is your place. (People here all do their best to keep ambient light low at night, which really helps with viewing the night sky.) Great neighborhood, everyone I met was very friendly. There is a beach, Kehena, about a mile & a half away. You need to be ready to walk down a rugged, fairly steep path, to get to it from the road above. I'd advise sturdy walking shoes, & even lightweight work gloves to aid in hand-holds - although some of the natives seem to be able to get down to the beach in flip-flops or even barefoot. (But I'm a little older, & a little more wobbly, than average, so take that into account.) If you want quiet, solitude, gorgeous views of a wild & rugged coast, & something that is pretty much the opposite of a high-density hectic typical tourist scene (say Honolulu or Kona, this might well be the place for you. Jacob's little hale is a very well-appointed studio size house, everything you really need (including laundry facility) provided. A perfect nest on the Puna shore for the single visitor or an intimate couple.
