Quiet comfortable private home in the heart of beautiful Pahoa. Gorgeous coastal views a 5 min walk away, with black sand beaches only a 10-15 min walk. We were serenaded by birds and gentle rain in the day, and by the coquis at night. The sea, sky, stars, ancient forests and lava-shaped land were magical beyond words - straight out of the artwork of Princess Mononoke. We worked in Hilo for a week but loved coming home here. Don't forget to make the short unforgettable drive through Malama Ki forest reserve and the 2018 lava flows to Pohoiki black sand beach at Isaac Hale State Park - literally the newest part of the country with several warm to hot geothermal ponds (tested for bacteria weekly so it's safe). Volcanoes National Park an hour away by car. Great WiFi and home was comfortable and well stocked.
