The cottage is located on the beautifully lush Red Road and is very convenient to the cool town of Pahoa and also a short drive to Hilo. There is an awesome black sand beach directly across from the cottage and a farmers market at the end of the road (west end I believe) that was one of my favorite activities. Local vendors, music, food, dancing - farmers market was definitely a highlight. We would absolutely stay here again. 2) Thank You so much, the past 3 nights in the cottage have been FANTASTIC! I realy look forward to coming back to visit. 3) Very nice cottage! We really enjoyed! Two thumbs up! We will recommend this place for sure!
