  Beschreibung

  Aloha! We are Matt and Noelle with 6 kids under 13 down to six months old!
  Matt grew up in the Philippines so felt at home when he moved to big island. Noelle was born and raised on Kauai, got her degree in California and travelled abroad, living in Italy 6 months, new Zealand 6 months and other places) before moving to the big island.
  
  We are a homeschooling family. Our kiddos are super sweet and just wonderful (no bias!) We love living as creatures in God's beautiful jungle here in Puna on the big island. We enjoy music, singing, community, cooking and baking, natural health, Lego creations, reading good living literature, ocean play, working outside and meeting new people- to name a few!
  
  We are looking for mature, excellent house sitters who are exceptionally clean with attention to detail . Love animals, strong arms to walk big dogs.
  
  We have a lab and a Belgian malinois, one outdoor cat and a parakeet.
  
  We look forward to welcoming you!

  This is rural off the beaten path Hawaii, NOT touristy, no night life, not beaches everywhere or resorts with drinks on the sand. This is a special kind of wild West place in the lush green lava rock ground jungle. Streets are often dirt roads in neighborhoods, no street lights, perfect for star gazing! Coqui frogs sing every. Night and lovely "bird-like" song. Puna area is a special place. Fast growing as it has much land availability for purchase and many want to live a more sustainable life! If you are looking to slow down and have time to listen to birds (or frogs) sing, drink herbal tea and journal, work on personal hobbies and do some exploring on the weekends, this would be a place to consider.

  Some places of interest near us. Kahena black sand beach (by car 15 min, free bus 1 hour), 20 min drive to the newest lava beach on Earth (!!!!) and geothermal hot ponds for swimming.
  Pahoa Village is our town. The old village has a health food store, kava kombucha bar, bakery, Thai, Hawaiian fusion, pizza and some shops. It is not a touristy place, but there are many travelers working on farms
  Hilo is 30min drive (one hour bus ride) and has local farmers market, lots of cute shops, restaurants near the bus stop downtown along the ocean). In Hilo there are many water entry places like Richardsons beach, carl-smith beach, Honolii (surf spot). Hilo also has waterfalls (drive only), botanical gardens (drive). And beautiful parks to walk in. Kona 2 hours by car or 3.5 hours by bus. Some have caught the bus to Kona on the weekends and stayed at a hostel while visiting the downtown Kona touristy spots along Ali'i drive. Volcano town, where the national park is, is 1 hour.by car (and longer by bus!) .
  
  There is a bus that picks up close and goes around island, but does not come frequently and requires walking to places of interest. There are so many things to see! Volcano national park, Kona beach camping, Mauna kea, old time cowboy country of waimea, South point, green sand beach, manta ray snorkel experience, waterfalls. You will need to rent a car to get to most of these places. Most people take the bus into Hilo or down to kahena Beach during the week and rent a car on the weekends.
