We had 7 in our group. We got there after dark. Lighting was poor and not sure which place. We called the number given and got an immediate answer no waiting. Almost regretted as we walked in the door, very musty/moldy. Thankfully it aired out in 1 day. Source? bottom kitchen cupboards have white mold. We kept them closed, just washed what we used & left the items out. Beds were luxury comfortable and clean and the rooms are spaced perfectly we all had privacy when needed, yard is incredibly beautiful. The screened porch was so peaceful to sit and relax. Washer/Dryer work great. Keep in mind: The distance from Hilo is about 30-45 min drive depending on traffic, Pahoa was so nice to explore and there is close shopping & a free public pool. On Sunday, the best farmers market is close. There are feral pigs in the yard. Not much you can do about that but they stayed in the brush and only spotted them when it was dark. We didn't bother them, they didn't bother us. It was sad to see they had rooted under some of the plants. Only wished there was some cleansers avail. Swiffer mop was leaking and no other cleansers. It would be nice to have more avail to clean after ourselves more. I recommend buying your own water as the water provided had a chlorine or chemical taste. We refilled our jugs at a refill station at the market in Pahoa and it was cheap. Would we stay here again. Yes for the price they ask it was relaxing and beautiful. Nothing was so bad to deter us from coming again.
