We visited the area with the main purpose of attending Uncle Robert’s Night Market, and this location was very convenient for that. The correspondence from the hosts was very detailed and instructions for getting there and checking in were very detailed and helpful. The WiFi was excellent. We spent the next morning exploring the beautiful vistas along the Red Road, and this was an excellent location for that as well. Would definitely recommend.

It’s a nice place, beach is accessible within a min drive. Night sky is beautiful because of less light pollution. Make sure to check out the restaurant down the road, not sure about dinner timings but for breakfast Acai is good.
Great host, only suggestion for host is to limit instructions to one pager instead of multiple locations around the house :)

Wanted to stay somewhere interesting and this was it. The room itself is completely normal but the area around it is not. Room about size of of decent sized living room with two beds, kitchen with attached private bathroom. Just a few minutes from a black sand beach. Sky was dark enough to see the milky way at night if that gives you an idea of how out of way it is. Nothing by the sounds of the birds to wake up to. Feels like you get to experience a more local version of Hawai'i. Nearest town about 20-30 min car drive where there are multiple dining options. Just don't make the mistake we did and have an 8 am flight out of Kona. Easy drive, but makes for a very early morning.

Enjoyed this stay very much; good area near me son and his family in Pahoa; bohemian area, near black sand beach; small but perfect size, well appointed.
Coffee on the deck in the mornings was great, great dark sky area, lush, green, comfortable.
Will definitely return here!

I wish we could have stayed another week! The room was great, perfectly dark for sleeping and lots of pillows. The guides posted around the room were helpful in planning our day. Instructions for getting to the property were clear. Would stay again

Overall we had a very pleasant stay at Susan and Andre’s. The house lies in a very interesting and lush green neighbourhood with unique buildings and people around. It captures the essence of the Puna area very well.
In total there were (we think) 3 properties inside the house, which could be rented out. We found our room had everything we needed, a nice balcony and porch and a nice view over the neighbourhood. Although we found the interior design of the flat a bit old fashioned and despite that with an infant, 2 adults and luggage one room was maybe a bit small, price-wise it was a very good value for money in the area. We missed some essentials on the first day of our stay but the host went more than out of her way to provide them as fast as possible. Super!
The place is at an ideal location. Only 5 min from Kehena beach (a stunningly beautiful black beach, where close by you could do your laundry in the beach bungalows the hosts also own), 25 min from Pahoa, 1h from Hilo, 11 min from the new hot springs and 1h from Volcano National Park it was at perfect location to explore Puna and Hilo (and if we had more time also parts of the Hamakua coast) without driving too much. And to also live surrounded by recent lava gave the place a huge plus.
We really enjoyed!
