This was our third time staying here. We love it, to say the least! The Big Island has so much to offer, and so vastly different from North to South, East to West. Pahoa, and more specifically Amalia & Kyle’s wonderful oasis is our favorite. It is isolated enough to feel one with your surroundings in nature but central enough you can take a short drive into town for your morning coffee (I certainly did). The Hale is secure so that you don’t feel like you’re camping outside but open enough that you feel completely surrounded by the beauty of Hawaii. It is remarkably clean and comfortable for someone like me who wants the best of both worlds. Amalia and Kyle are incredibly welcoming and helpful, but also provide exceptional privacy and very respectful of their guests. You can take a short walk to very isolated lava rock beaches from your front door, hang out on the lanai, or take a short drive to pretty much anywhere on the island. I cannot speak highly enough about the entirety of what you get staying here. Like I said it’s our 3rd time staying here and we keep falling in love even more each time!!! Thank you Amalia & Kyle, y’all are the best!!!
