From even before we booked Faith’s lovely home to the moment we checked out, we could not have had a better experience. She was very responsive whenever I had questions, and her place had everything we needed! We loved the spacious layout with a full kitchen, living area, screened in porch, two bedrooms and two bathrooms. It was a great set-up for my husband’s parents and us. We also loved the location - just down the road from the newly-opened Lava Tree State Monument in one direction and from the quaint town of Pahoa in the other direction. And within an hour or two we were able to get anywhere we needed to on the island.
We enjoyed lots of great local cuisine (Pahoa Fresh Fish and Pele’s Kitchen in Pahoa; Kamana Kitchen in Hilo was the best Indian food we’ve ever had!) and fun excursions. It was great to have a washer and dryer in the house, plus beach chairs, towels, and even a good flashlight that we were able to use when exploring Kaumana Caves (a definite highlight of our time there!). I was glad I had my portable kettle because there wasn’t one in the house, but the kitchen was well-stocked with all sorts of dishes, cooking utensils and pans, and even various condiments. Overall, our stay was delightful and we would highly recommend it to anyone!
