The home feels like a jungle cabin - surrounded by lush green tropical vegetation, and full of talkative birds that wake you up in the morning. At night, you can stargaze right from the yard as there is very little light pollution in the area. Staying here is like meditation in itself. We had some pheasants visit during our stay and they were great fun to watch! Punalu'u Beach was a 30 min drive.
Proximity to Volcanoes NP was what drew us to the place. We reserved this before the Mauna Loa eruption and were getting very excited about the prospect of visiting the National Park to witness 2 active eruptions. Sadly, they both stopped a week before we arrived.
The home itself was great. Clear instructions, exactly as advertised. Pua was also very flexible and helpful with check-in and check-out. The bed was one of the best beds I've ever slept on (no hyperbole here - I'm serious!) and there was a mattress warmer available too!
Would love to return and stay at this beautiful place.
