Victoria and Gray's bamboo cottage is magical. You are truly alone in a tropical paradise. As beautiful as it is in day light, the sounds of night are wonderful. The sounds of the of birds and insects is musical. The intermittent light rain on the roof is delightful. Despite the off-grid seclusion, the place is very comfortable, peaceful, clean, and relaxed. There is a covered outside social/dining/kitchen is an area to meet the hosts and other guests should they be there. Nearby Pahoa is a funky fun hippie town with great healthy/vegetarian dining options and a natural grocery store selling amazing local produce. Also not far is the Kehena Beach area. I did not have time scheduled to relax and swim, but it has a beautiful black sand beach and a judging by the creative architecture, a vibrant artistic community. If you truly want to escape and be in another world yet somehow be within the borders of United States, I would recommend a stay.
