Excellent home base
If you're looking for a comfy economical place to explore HI, this is it. Good bed, cute island decor with everything you need from cooler, ice blocks, spices, and most valuable, a responsive host in Stephanie. She was beyond helpful. The house is in a neighborhood so expect to hear some voices (we live in the woods of MT) and lots of frogs and birds. The first night we stumbled upon the Sunday evening drum circle in Sea Crest with its drummers, conch blowers and couples doing balancing yoga. Then found Kahena beach with its black sand (and clothing optional). Made a goal to swim there every day which we did between visiting Volcanoes NP, watching the sun set at Mauna Kea and enjoying the ranger star talk, exploring the beach road from Isaac Hale to Uncle's Awa (get a smoothie, theres also a cafe and music on Wednesdays). Malama in Pohoa is a good grocery and the truck vendor at the intersecrion of 130 and 132 had 2 and half lb chunks of tuna cauht the day b4 for $20. Overall, a very relaxing stay. Thanks, Stephanie, for taking such good care of the house and us!
