Cute house off the beaten path with tropical garden views and an ocean view from the upstairs bedroom. It's a 15-20 minute drive to Pahoa for a major grocery store, but the Kaimu Korner Country Store is ~5 minutes away and has a decent selection. We really enjoyed exploring this part of the island, including driving the Red Road into town (a longer route) - the views are incredible!
The house has everything you need for a stay on the islands including cookware/spices, beach towels, and a soft cooler for day trips. Note it doesn't have A/C, but if you open the doors to the lanai you get a nice breeze flowing through and there are multiple fans to circulate air. Our kids got a kick out of all the geckos on the property and we all enjoyed falling asleep to the coqui frogs. Kehena Beach is a short walk away and it's beautiful, but I would be cautious bringing kids there due to the rocky climb down and rough waves (we checked it out, but never swam there).
Thank you, Julie, for a wonderful stay on the Big Island!
