This little blue cottage was a great launch pad for some wonderful adventures. We enjoyed exploring near by activities such as the night market (SO GREAT! Don't miss it!), Kapoho Tide Pools, and Ahalanui warm pond. We were shocked by the AMAZING food we had in Pahoa. The small strip of shops and restaurants doesn't look like much but Pele's Kitchen had the best and most affordable breakfast we had and Kaleo's served us the delicious and afforable dinner we had. We paid 3 times as much for dinner at a fancy resort for food that didn't hold a candle to the melt in your mouth ribs we had at Kaleo's.
The space was generally clean and offered all the basic necessities we needed for our stay. It was a solid step above a hotel room, much more comfortable, and affordable. It was nice to have our own porch, explore the property, meet the other guests, and have many visits with our favorite Hawaiian cat, Oscar. The house feels secluded and quiet. When the clouds would clear, we had a spectacular view of the stars. There really is little to no cell service and the Wifi signal was slow and occasionally inconsistent. Be prepared to unplug, but don't worry, Oscar really is the best cat ever, he will keep you company.
Jacklynn was VERY quick to respond to our needs and even though we didn't get to meet her, it felt like she was taking really good care of us.
