Kaniahiku Village Hotels, Pahoa

"SCP Hilo has the absolute best service and amenities, including free bike and paddle board usage as available. They also have an incredible pool, a wonderful garden, and a very unique and serene coy fish pond. SCP is also located within walking distance of many wonderful places to visit, such as Coconut Island and Liliʻuokalani Gardens. There are also a lot of fantastic food venues in walking distance, but you will likely find yourself returning to the Coconut Grill more often than not. The Vietnamese restaurant, New Saigon, located nearby is also fantastic. Lastly, there are a few bus stops in short walking distance, and since the buses are free, why rent a car at all? My wife and I had a fantastic late honeymoon here, and I can't recommend them enough! Book a stay at SCP and see what we mean! Aloha!"

"The frogs at night sound like birds. Very tropical and relaxing. Real people. Working people. The property is a work in progress. Safe place to sleep & shower. Looking forward to my future stay."

"Chris & Roxy had the up most hospitality. We felt welcomed he made it feel like we were family. I can honestly say we made two new friends. We will be back the next time we come back home for a visit. Mahalo Chris & Roxy."

"This Place it’s beautiful for everyone who loves nature "

"We loved the full kitchen. Was really quiet. We really appreciated Misty working with us on an extended stay."

"First, this property is cool if you know what you are getting into. This is way off the off the grid living. You are staying on a lava field in a shipping container. That is the cool part. It is remote, and just wow for sunset and sunrise. The host, Ron, was nice and communicated well. The location on VRBO makes it appear on Chain of Craters road just near the famed sea arch in Volcanoes National park - a big reason we picked it. However just a bit east of there the road has been closed there for decades from a lava flow, and the property is on the other side so it actually takes about an hour to get to Volcanoes Park. Best way to pin actual location is to look up Red Lava B&B on Google maps: a different shipping container in the same field. It is isolated. Last few miles dirt road. You won't have access near by so best to stop in Pahoa to load up on a few things. Now pics may appear to be all alone ( believe some are older), but there are several neighbors...a few built right in front of your view towards the ocean. These folks are all off-griders living in very rustic conditions. The host makes several notations and instructions about where you can park, where you can walk and when you can head out in the morn (not before 830am) specifically because of "grumpy neighbor". There are two separate units here attached and one has only 1 bed room w bunks & no air. Other larger unit w/ king or queen bed. Listing pics seem to mix it all. Overall, unique exp for a night."

"This house was a great place to stay! It was nice and clean and the view was amazing! It doesn't have AC so we had to open al the doors and windows to get a cool air flow."
