A lush tropical paradise on very special land, staying at Victoria's place was like I stepped into a dream. Surrounded by huge blooms of flowers and fruit trees, seeing how the land can really provide is easy. I drank water from a coconut I picked and cracked open myself, tried fruit I've never tasted, and showered under the stars. While driving to Kona from here isn't entirely convenient unless you like to drive like me, there is plenty to do on the Hilo side (including all of the amazing markets in and near Pahoa) to highly suggest Victoria's place to anyone wanting to experience peace, tranquility, and tropical forests in all of their glory.
One note: As there are lots of wild pigs, hunters frequent the area and gunshots in the distance were not uncommon during my stay. Knowing to expect this in advance may be helpful for those unaccustomed to the sound or those with trauma around gun violence.
