This was a beautiful house with the deck was overlooking the ocean. It’s a great house if you are just there to relax and unwind! It is kind of off the beat and path. You definitely have to have a car! Don’t go to Hilo from 9:30-1030 am because there is a lot of traffic! There are many things to see on the Hilo side but some activities are pretty far from Pahoa. However the house is in a quiet neighborhood. You hear the crashing of the waves on the rocks! There are many birds that sing at night! If you don’t mind driving a bit then this house is perfect!
