We had an absolute wonderful stay at Noelle’s AirBnB in Pahoa! The pictures are exactly what you get, especially the beautiful landscaping! Pahoa is a farther trek from many of the typical activities, but you can’t beat the peace & tranquility!
Noelle is a great host! Communication was great from the moment we booked. I had to make a change to the itinerary and she accommodated me the same day. Noelle provided check in details the day before and even suggested downloading driving directions as reception can be sketchy. I’ve stayed in Hawaii island before and knew of the importance of getting to our AirBnB before dark. Just a travel tip for anyone, this part of the island is remote and lighting at night can be sparse, so plan accordingly, even if just for your first day.
We didn’t spend a lot of time at the AirBnB, but it was a great home away from home base. It was nice to have all the amenities to cook breakfast before heading out for the day and we even prepared lunch and dinner during our stay. There are all the basic needs for cooking simple meals, including standard spices and sugar/sugar substitutes.
Noelle also graciously provides toiletries! So if you’ve forgotten soap or shampoo, she’s got you covered. There were 5 of us and we had ample towels, even beach towels. I love having a washer/dryer when I travel, I cut down on packing since we can wash. We had more than enough towels, but if needed, could wash those too!
The beds were great after a long day out. We traveled in October and there were periodic downpours, but would clear up. The night time was quite cool, the ceiling fans and open windows were more than enough to keep us cool.
Highly recommend this AirBnB, especially for families!
