Wow! If off the beaten path is the experience you are looking for, look no farther! This tidy, yet roomy house is located across the street from one of the best beaches we have ever experienced. The sound of the waves breaking against the cliffs was the soothing sound we needed to wash away the world we left behind. The best snorkeling on our 2 week/ 3 stop vacation was ten miles North along the coast in the beautifully preserved tidal pools. The town of Pahoa was a 15-20 minute drive and had a great rustic feel. Short distance from Volcano House. If you like being near a lot of restaurants and people this place is not for you. While the wifi was sufficient to stream movies and music, we did experienced 2 blackouts, so be sure to keep your devices charged! We did not have cellular phone service at the house, but there is a land line.
