Our trip to Hawaii circled the Big Island, so we moved to a new place every night. Julia's plantation house was our midpoint spot, and we were grateful to find lodging between Kona and Volcano for the night. The house itself was cute and ample, but we didn't know there was another unit attached. Those guests spend a lot of time on the shared back porch smoking, so we didn't feel as "private" as I would have liked. I also was completely unaware the town has a LOT of wild roosters and neighborhood dogs, so there was noise pretty much nonstop. If you're a deep sleeper or have a white noise app, you'll be ok. None of this is Julia's fault, of course. It's just the nature of the area and you have to go with the flow of the island! Julia also let us know the town had limited amenities, so we were able to plan ahead for our evening meal. Be sure to bring food with you!
