We absolutely loved the Yellow Hibiscus cottage. It was very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the pool and the outdoor shower. We picked a couple limes and some cherry tomatoes from what appeared to be a rogue tomato plant within the hibiscus by the pool. The entire property is well kept. It is private and the stars at night shine brightly. It's very quick to get into Pahoa Town, where we really enjoyed pastries at the Tinroof Bakery - the only place open early enough for us since our baby daughter woke us up before the sun!

Jacklynn was kind enough to provide a pack n play portable crib for our daughter to sleep in. That was extremely helpful. It's surprising how few hosts provide that, when you can pick one up on Amazon for only around $60 last time I checked. We certainly appreciated not having to bring our own!

The drive down to the Puna coast is pretty and there's a lot to see and do. This is the wild, undeveloped side of the Big Island, if you don't already know that.
