Just lovely! Highly recommend this spot if you want a quiet place away- listening to the sound of frogs and rain every night before bed. It really was perfect for our birthday getaway. Don't worry, this side of the island isn't as rainy as some travel books may make it seem. It seemed to only rain at night and was beautiful during the day. The little black sand beach nearby is a cultural experience for sure! Bring good shoes to go down the little rock hike to the beach though! I cut my foot on the volcanic rock while wearing flip flops, but luckily Jason supplied me with bandaids after. :-) Don't bother going all the way to Hilo for restaurants, Pahoa has an adorable little "downtown" with REALLY great local finds. Pele's kitchen is a lovely breakfast spot, and Kaleo's is a lovely ( if tad pricey) dinner spot. If you are around for a Wednesday the night market in the Kingdom of Hawaii Uncle Roberts is a MUST. I happily timed it with my birthday and was given a lei by the band performing, and danced with all the wonderful locals. Since we had a little kitchen we cooked breakfast mostly at the Airbnb and made sandwiches for volcano hikes (buy your supplies at 711 or Long's Drugs in Pahoa). Definitely the best Airbnb experience we have had in Hawaii. Thanks Jason!
