The location is very remote, with a characteristic condo. Mike was a great host with plentiful suggestions, the uncle Roberts Wednesday night market was a big hit. He did such a great job, and made us feel comfortable. It had a stunning view of the sky and a short distance to see the ocean from a cliff.
It's about 20-30mins from any store or small town. We enjoyed our time for the week we were there, but I wouldn't call it a luxury place, calling it luxury is misleading.
The kitchen was very well equipped and the ceiling fans were greatly appreciated.
Unfortunately the house needs some work, while clean and comfortable, more than half the windows were broken and all the screens need either to be adjusted or replaced. As long as we kept all the Windows and doors closed in the evening/night it would keep the bugs to a minimum. The very loud frogs were also unexpected, so be ready for that. The place was not equipped for a low light atmosphere. 1 light had a dimmer so we ended up keeping the lights off, either low wattage bulbs or dimmer switches would help.
Overall we had a nice time exploring pahoa and the surrounding areas.
