Where do I begin? This was our favourite Airbnb stay ever. Joe was incredibly helpful even before we arrived with tips about the area. Gifted an avocado and some beers upon arrival, we were already smitten. He gave us the tour and introduced us to the chickens and Brando (as lovely as everyone says he is). We loved that he had a compost bin and separated recycling system as well! The cottage is absolutely gorgeous. Joe has a very thorough folder in the kitchen that tells you about the areas past, present and future plans. As well as a cute chalk board on the front deck with the ‘Pāhoa Happenings’. The kitchen has everything you need to make a few simple meals. Also loved that he had great basics like olive oil, salt and pepper. The screen windows meant that we felt like we were in the outdoors while being cosy in our cottage. The bed was so comfortable! The outdoor bath is so beautiful and the perfect spot to lay on a hot Hawaii afternoon. The frog and gecko visits really completed the vibe. Just book this place - you will love it.
