Independent in Pahoa from AU$226

"We had an amazing time from the moment we called to see if we could get an early check-in and got the blessing from Megan who gave us the go ahead to come on in as they already a room ready for us. We had a corner oceanfront room and - even on the stormy Rainy day - it was just so wonderful to sit out on the balcony enjoying the view. We were so relaxed and it was just a dream getaway. We definitely intend to stay at The Grand Naniloa anytime we stay in Hilo in the future."

"Everything you need!"

"The place was as advertised. Amazing hospitality with positive island energy. Been to several big island estates over the years, pool was awesome , book it!!"

"Wish I could but this app is not user-friendly on my samsung phone."

"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 "

"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."

"The house was so comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for a family of five, even snorkel gear and a cooler for day trips to the beach! (30 minute drive.) FYI The house is located in a real neighborhood, not a touristy condo association. Barking dogs, ferrel pigs and fireworks are a part of everyday life."
