A very quiet pleasant place! The somewhat rural location allowed us to hear a symphony of evening noises that we enjoyed very much. The house was clean, efficient and modern. The kitchen fully equipped. Friendly neighbors provided an added sense of security and "Aloha"! For us it was the perfect place to return to after a long day of sightseeing to relax and unwind away from the crush and noise of the typical tourist day. My party of 5 felt this was the perfect place for us, and we will be recommending it privately to any friends we have who we hear will be visiting the big island. One heads up for future guests, as you should see from the listing the house in located on the outskirts of Pahoa. Stop in at the Long's drug store off the last traffic circle or one of the groceries in Hilo on your way to the property and maximize the time you have at the end of your day to relax in this tranquil location.
