This is a lovely area of jungle, lava and ocean! It off the beaten track deep in Puna/Pahoa - quiet and wild - about 50 minutes from Hilo. The house is very spacious, the pool and spa are relaxing, and the landscaping is remarkable. We needed 4 bedrooms, and it worked out perfectly. Leith is a kind and gracious host and extremely knowledgeable about the area. Like other reviews, he did share fruit with us, which has caused us to become addicted to white pineapple. Do not expect that as part of the rental, as we happened to hit a ripening time! The local beach is black sand and certainly quirky and unique. We highly recommend the Kaimu Farmer's Market just down the road. We didn't stay in the separate cottage attached to this house, but I saw it and can recommend it for honeymooners, looks adorable! We will be back!
