I spent over a week here, and wow, it was a perfect stay! Clean fresh air, clear night skies, only sounds of birds and frogs, the house is clean, the bed is very comfortable, and there is a beautiful breeze that flows throughout the house most of the day. Location was great for reaching Hilo or Pahoa, only a short drive away, or to volcano national park.
Ted, Pauline, and Keo are amazing hosts with tons of knowledge about the Island. They embody the Aloha spirit. They always had great ideas and advice for places to check out during my stay.
I was without a car during my stay. The house is about an hour walk out to the main road, or about a 20-30-minute walk to the nearest bus route, check out Hele-on bus schedule online, bus is $2. Hitchhiking was an adventure, my first time so I can’t compare it to anywhere else, but got many rides around the island from many friendly people.
The ‘superhost’ designation is no joke, I would 100% recommend staying here, and would stay here again in the future. Great people, great home, great price and the Aloha spirit.
