This home is a great location to visit Hilo to the Green Sands Beach and everything in between. And the volcano is all around you on this part of the island. (Definitely take a trip to Issac Hale, the drive there and the natural hot bath was our favorite.) The town of Pahoa is only a few miles up the road and there are great restaurants, coffee shops, and a market.
The home itself is on a beautiful private property surrounded by the Hawaiian forest. There is plenty of air flow to keep you cool with the fans running and the windows open. The on site laundry was great to have as well as the kitchen. We even had a few geckos visit us on the porch for breakfast. The frogs are loud at night, but not too much that we couldn't fall asleep. The beds were comfortable and a good size for our family of four. Just make sure to bring lots of mosquito repellent. We probably would have used the porch more if we didn't get bit as much. Could have been the time of year we visited tho (as it was the rainy season). Overall a great experience and glad we had this place to come home to after a long day out exploring.
