What an incredible piece of paradise! We loved our stay here, and really appreciated how well equipped the kitchen is (great selection of dinnerware and glassware, including both wine and beer glasses. Not to mention a full array of serving pieces and beautiful collection of coffee/tea mugs). The property itself is like living in a luxurious treehouse - the landscaping is lush, and creates a true sense of privacy (we could hear the neighbors from time to time, but everyone respects the quiet hours that begin at 9 pm). The neighbors that don’t adhere to quiet hours are the coqui frogs, but they come with the territory, and we got used to them.
It’s a bit of a drive to Pahoa, so you may want to stock up on food and beverages before heading down to the house. And just build in enough time for any exploring you want to do on this side of the island. We made a number of outings on this trip (including an amazing pre-dawn visit to Volcanoes National Park to see the lava in the Halema’uma’u Crater), but next time we’ll probably spend more time just chilling, reading, and cooking. And we certainly hope there will be a next time!
