If you're looking for secluded, this is it! While it is in a neighborhood, the surrounding plant life gives the illusion of being somewhere in the middle of a jungle, rather than next door to other people. It was very quiet, concerning neighbors - there was that one lonely rooster somewhere in the neighborhood, but he's just part of the charm. The jungle is always abuzz, so if you like the sound of nature, you'll appreciate this house as much as my my sister, mom and I did.
It's about a 10-15 minute drive to Pāhoa, but, as we rented a car, this was no issue at all. It's far enough away for less hustle and bustle, but not so far as to be a burden if you want to make a run to the store or go out to eat, etc.
Jennifer was very communicative throughout our stay, making sure we
were comfortable and found the place alright. We didn't find the directions too difficult, upon looking at the map and seeing the layout of the land.
We will definitely look this place up the next time we stay.
