Lovely stay in Pahoa! I wasn't sure how far from Hilo it would be upon booking but it was a pretty easy drive (about 30 minutes). The cottage was very clean and comfortable. The kitchenette really came in handy during our stay, and the bed was sooooooooooo comfortable! I loved falling asleep to the sounds of the rainforest frogs and other creatures singing every night. If you want a place to stay that is off the beaten track, I would definitely recommend this property.
