Top Hotels Near Star of the Sea Painted Church in Pahoa from NZ$96

"Sammy was the most amazing host for our group of 18 (high school volleyball team)! We have stayed at a lot of team houses and this might be our favorite. The beds were so comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked to cook meals for our group size. The views and the pool were so relaxing! The property was gorgeous! Everything was so comfy and perfect. Sammy setup yoga for our team upon arrival which was phenomenal. And the last day, our plans had to change and he let us extend our check out time which was a huge help to the group. Thank you so much for an amazing time!!! "

"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."

"The property is exactly as it is listed. It is set away from the other structures with the native forest. It is cool enough at night not to need ac. No issues with power or water. The bed was very comfy. I would stay here again."

"Great host. Easy access. Beautiful surroundings off the beaten path! Would stay again."

"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."
