I love Kehena beach and it was so easy to go to the beach whenever we wanted.
We even saw spinner dolphins swimming in the bay.
We liked the beach chairs.

We loved everything about Hale Nonno. It was the perfect size for the two of us and was very comfortable. The landscaping was absolutely amazing and really provided us with the perfect peaceful Hawaiian stay.

I loved the kindness and availability of the owners to answer our doubts and questions. They are very friendly people and do not interrupt your stay with their presence, even living near the house. The place was immaculate and organized. The bed was very comfortable and the temperature was perfect. The bathroom is clean and has hot water. Truly, it is a cozy space with privacy. My favorite space was the enclosed porch. We had a nice evening drinking a couple of beers on that porch. It's a very quiet neighborhood, so you need to be considerate of the surroundings. I will stay here again if I return one day. Thanks for everything!

This newly renovated house in the jungle has an expansive yard and is in a beautiful setting. Everything worked. There was good communication from hosts. The birds erupt into a cacophony at night adding to the magic of the experience. There's no TV. Kids had a blast catching lizards in the meticulously landscaped garden.

The porch and view are amazing. The big double doors that open from the living area were wonderful. There were toys and games for the kids. I would recommend this stay to anyone, especially families.

Unique house with great amenities in an amazing location.

Was perfectly appointed for the unique environment and location.

Pahoa is smaller than Hilo but feels more authentically Hawaiian. Having said that, there is access to restaurants, a grocery store, gift shops etc. It was a good starting point for trips to a black sand beach, the volcano, the botanical gardens (a must see!), and other sites.

PAHOA is a very Large district many individual suburbs, Kalapana, Kalapana Estate Pahoa, Hawaiian Gardens, Paradise, Orchidland. Ainaloa, Leilani Estate and so forth I believe it's all part of PUNA. So it's huge... Over all I really enjoy Pahoa cause I have my best friend who lives and work in the heart of Pahoa she's is such a blessing. So Yes I Love It There. Lots of delicious places to eat at even from the side of the road, Certain days you can buy Fresh Tuna and other fish right from the Ahi Man!!! Amazing 😍

Pahoa is off of the beaten path.
Pahoa is off of the beaten path. I have come to Pahoa only to visit my family members who have lived on the island for over 10 years. The town Pahoa has added a good shopping center with Malama grocery. And Pahoa is close to the volcano and the beautiful coast. Wouldn't recommend Pahoa as a tourist destination. But if you're not the touristy type, this is the place for you.

Close to the most recent lava flows, Lava Tree State Monument, Star of the Sea Painted Church and scenic coastal drives. Nice small town with several places to eat. We particularly liked Pho 19 and the Smoothie Shack. Olympic size public pool. Lap swimming is free!

Try to go to Uncle Roberts place at the end of the road on Wednesday nights. Quite the experience. Other things around the area offer lots of lava and the state and national parks (especially the ones on the water) are amazing. Great remote place like no other.
Robert’s place is in a quiet neighborhood surrounded by tropical vegetation(Ofc everywhere in Hilo you can hear the frogs). We intentionally stayed away from busy urban area of Hilo so this is perfect for us. It is on the way to the volcanoes National park so if you are like us that visit the park quite a bit then it is a great location. The host is an artist who has a pottery workshop on site so we got to see some of his work. He and his wife are very friendly and accommodating. Would love to stay with them if we come back :-)
The cabin is so great that I immediately regretted I only booked it for one night. I should have booked for more nights!!!
There are lots of animals: peacocks, turkeys, hens, geese, pigs, etc. There are lots of birds chirping in the forest, but they did not affect my sleeping at all.
There are also many tropical trees in the garden. Cocoa tree, banana tree, etc. It is pleasant to walk among them.
The staff Lakshmi is super nice.
I like this hotel so much. If I visit the big island again, I will definitely stay there longer.
Location: So close to beach, hilo and vulcano national park
Free Parking nearby
Super spacious room with comfortable double bed
Very friendly owner
Least expensive private room on the whole island, maybe even in whole of state hawaii
Kitchen fully equipped, Restrooms nice
Nice sitting area outside, and hanging around makes fun too, super quiet to sleep. My favorite Hostel from now on, i would call the whole area with private rooms more like HOTEL instead of HOSTEL
Absolutely fantastic breakfast prepared by Jim personally. Every day different homemade meal, mostly from products grown in the garden. We had an issue to eat everything what was served and everything was excellent.
Lovely place in the middle of community area surrounded by the nature. Great place to explore Volcano park and whole southeast coast of Big Island few minutes drive from Pahoa city center.
A beautiful bungalow in a quiet street in Pahoa. Perfect for a solo or couple to relax and recharge.
I felt extremely safe, and Abbie was a very welcoming and kind host.
The bed was comfortable, the kitchenette and bathroom had everything I needed, and the place was well stocked and clean.
The lanai was my favourite and I spent many hours reading and relaxing out there.
we loved our stay and enjoyed our time in the hilo area. the location is beautiful with a lovely yard and pool area. the 3 dogs are also a big plus and were loads of fun to have around. they were so accommodating and after forgetting something in our room they had it sent to our next destination(different island!)
thanks so much for the great time
Raven and Marc are the sweetest hosts ever.
They took so much care of us, and their dedication is incredible.
This is really a true local experience , don’t go if you are afraid of little critters, or expect a Hilton hotel.
We cannot recommend this more for adventurous families, or friends, or couples that want to experience the real Hawaii !
The place was wonderful! It was a large unit with comfy bed, good sized bathroom and a living room/ kitchen area. We had a private entrance.They were both very friendly, kind and gave us good advice on things to do. The nearby town had a nice choice of restaurants and the ones we went to were good. Great place to stay!
Helpful staf that picked and dropped me in Pahoa.
Pretty good wifi. I had to make a video call (which I usually don't do and hate) and it worked fine.
Room was comfortable.
The road is in bad condition but regular cars can definitely make it.
Clean.
Very remote. Again, I liked it, but maybe not for everyone.
Eliot's vacation home is vibrant and spacious and is nestled amongst lush fauna and flora of Pāhoa. Eliot went above and beyond and embodies the spirit of generosity. We are so thankful for his insights into local eats, attractions and the beautiful home he provided. I hope to return someday.
Irene went to great lengths to make us feel at home. It was like staying over with a favourite Auntie (who makes great breakfasts). The location is perfect if you like getting away from the town yet conveniently close for Pahoa and a good base for the volcano areas.
Lovely secluded tropical oasis on the slopes of Kilauea.
Great location for exploring the island.
I downloaded Google Maps of Hawaii so managed without phone or data when driving.
Irene is a friendly, helpful host. I really enjoyed her eggs for breakfast!
The laid back local vibe, the solitude and solace of the property, the opportunity to meet local residents and friends of the host.. on site and at other nearby events and properties. The rain on the roof in the Garden Room when it occurred!
Beautiful house in a peaceful location. Very interesting to see Fissure 8 nearby. Lots of room and storage. Very nice to have 2.5 bathrooms. We enjoyed sitting out in the yard. The host was kind and interesting to talk to .
The property was beautiful, and a nice size house. Location was near Hilo and volcano, so after activities it was great to unwind and relax. Host was attentive to anything we needed and very helpful on things to do.
Perfect setting, with beaches and a hot spring nearby. The apt. was very private and had a tropical style, with access to a lawn for outside dinning or star gazing. The hosts were fantastic, very helpful.
Raven and Mark were very hospitable in their home and made us feel at home. it’s good to make connections while traveling. It is important that one realize this is a home experience and not a hotel.
A nice house in the beautiful rainforest. We loved everything, especially the hot tub. The host was very kind and provided a ton of information regarding sights to visit and nearby events.
