Our family enjoyed this lovely home in Pahoa. I've been to Big Island many times, and really fell in love with the hippie vibe of Pahoa, as well as it's breathtaking shoreline and amazing scenery. The house was comfy and the amenities just right. The only drawback is that the listing does not mention the community/town does not have drinkable tap water, so community taps are used to fill water containers. The fridge already had 2 water containers ready for us, but by the time I cracked open the guidebook and saw the water notice, my kids had already drank water and brushed teeth for bed!
The frogs are very "vocal" at night, so we appreciated the thoughtful touch of ear plugs. The property is spacious allowing much privacy with great vegetation and mature trees, including the largest avocado tree I've seen! There is a helpful guest guidebook with lots of recommendations. 5 min. drive to lava tree park, 15 min. to leilani estates (to see the last eruption flow) and maybe 20 min. to MacKenzie State Park (HIGHLY recommend - breathtaking cliffs & crashing waves). Overall, a positive and memorable experience.
