My wife and I and our adult son loved staying at this quaint house in Pahala. The location is great. While it is not really "near" any of the big tourist beaches, it is midway between the Hilo side and the Kona side, each of which we visited several times. It is close to the Volcano National Park - which we visited at night to see the lava glow. The house itself was very clean and comfortable, with big screen TV, washer and dryer, giant kitchen, large living room, etc. Super convenient location too, with a small grocery store and a drug store right across the street. Our host Julia was very responsive to the couple of questions that we had while there. This is one of our favorite Airbnb locations - and we've stayed at plenty.
