Mike made it easy, everything you want is right there, down to the abundant lilikoi and abiu right outside your door. Close to Pahoa (10 mins), Hilo (20 mins), and easy drive to Volcano and elsewhere. Mike is great to talk to and will stay out of your way when not needed. Great recommendations for places to visit and eat from Mike and his family. Great price for Christmas week as well! They have beach towels, beach chairs, snorkel gear, and more for you to use if you want. Nice and quiet too (except for the rooster and the occasional chicken wars happening in the neighbor's yard). Highly recommend if you're staying on the Hilo side! ##### Larry W. Stayed 8 nights in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Shelia Z.

Michael had loypts of oversea’s experience that he explained various decorations of the house to us. Amazingly, he built the house on his own! This was our 1st time stayed in the house with the owner, yet not sharing the house. The concept was very unique. Most of the time, we did not cross paths each. We had our own space, room, kitchen, and bathroom! The air was cool at night. So no AC was needed at night. The master bedroom was cozy and quiet at night, filled with fragrance from the garden! The guest bedroom could be a little noisy at night depending on the street traffic. We overall, enjoyed our time with Michael and Joy! ##### Shelia Z.

I knew I had to stay at Michael and Joys property the second I saw the photos of it. What you get is even better than the photos! Such a cool, unique home. Michael is a super nice, helpful guy with a wealth of information about the area. You’ll have your own comfortable private space, but there is a large communal area which is where you’ll probably end up spending most of your time. Plan to stay there, and make sure you plan to spend some time just hanging out there. It’s so relaxing and special. ##### Julie C. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sharon P.
