If you know Volcano, you know there will be rain, humidity and probably be chilly. This is a great place to experience the rain forest because the unit is on the second level and has a giant deck with chairs, fire pit and tables to hang out on. Perfect location to explore Kilauea and the south of the island. A well equipped grocery store is 25 minutes away. The place is a bit dated but comfortable, with adequate facilities. The kitchen was not very well equipped. Instructions were a bit flimsy.
