My wife and I loved staying at Pua's place. It felt like home for us for our week stay. The place was exactly as described and we enjoyed staying in a place that felt connected closely with nature just outside of Hilo. I personally enjoyed several mornings walking from Pua's place to Onomea Bay for the sunrise, which is an amazing spot to view the sunrise in peace. Additionally, it was really easy to get to all the main attractions on the eastern side of the Big Island from here, so the location is a good mix of convenience while also feeling disconnected from the tourist circuit. Pua was an amazing and responsive host and she took the time to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. I'm already missing her very friendly dog Otis.
