We stayed for a month and loved it. The house is roomy, comfortable and well stocked. The area is beautiful and peaceful. We went for walks around the neighborhood and met a few of the neighbors that were out walking as well, they were all very friendly. There are a few restaurants, shops and a grocery store near by in Pahoa if you don't want to go all the way into Hilo. Amy is amazing, she was very friendly and super helpful with all of my questions. We would definitely stay here again.
