We had a wonderful and relaxing time staying at Louise's cabin. The space was large enough to feel like you had privacy, it was absolutely beautiful with lots of intentional details throughout the space -- nice art, fixtures, personal touches...and there were chickens and a peacock roaming around to add to the overall experience.
Some of the reviews were kind of out-of-touch; the cabin is in a remote place and I would strongly encourage anyone staying her to rent a vehicle with higher clearance. The cabin is quite literally in a jungle and one should expect it to have insects inside and birds and other critters outside (we saw two pigs on the road leading to it), and feel remote -- because it is.
As far as amenities go, we had absolutely everything we needed and the kitchen was very well stocked. There are two bedrooms and a hideabed downstairs.
There is one bathroom and it's upstairs so if stairs are inconvenient for you, maybe take that into consideration.
The malama market nearby is a proper supermarket -- maybe 10 minute drive from the cabin. There are various fruit stands and a great farmer's market Louise told us about on Sunday (cash only).
As far as finding a place to swim, the nearest we found was in Hilo and the water was pretty cold compared to the other side of the island. If you are looking for a tropical beach getaway, perhaps a different island all together would suit you. If you are looking for an authentic experience hosted by a real person (not a company operating on airbnb or an agency) with avocados growing in the yard, dramatic volcanic fields right around each corner, black formidable beaches, actual MAGMA sightings -- definitely stay at Louise's then. It will be unlike any Hawaiian vacation you have taken and you will feel you have experienced something truly special. We had such a wonderful time and I hope you do, too.
