The Cottage at the Ocean is fantastic! Clean and comfortable with an awesome beach 3 miles away. The cottage was well stocked with nearly everything you need.
My husband and I stayed on our honeymoon and loved everything about Pahoa. The views and weather were great. There aren't a ton of restaurants, but everywhere we visited was excellent. I recommend Pele's Kitchen for Breakfast (such a beautiful cafe!) and Kaleo's Bar and Grill if you want a tasty dinner.
There isn't much to do at night, because it gets so dark in the evening & there is no TV or games at the cottage, so I would recommend bringing something to occupy yourself.
Would love to visit again!
