We loved the location, the quiet, the GARDEN is amazing!! Everything provided in the home, necessities, flashlights, extra bedding etc. The toilet was really cool and the shower felt nice too (semi outside). We didn't see much of the stars due to torrential rains, but that's OK. It was interesting in itself to witness. You wake up to birds chirping and we heard a cow??
I think the most breathtaking part is seeing the lava flow from the top of the mountain down and the smoke plumes on the ocean. Totally need to rent a bike to conserve energy for the lava hike.... it's exhausting and definitely go early so you don't get stuck on rock at night, it's so pitch dark and scary, definitely takes a lot of energy to climb the lava.
The only one thing we would suggest is either putting some window treatments on the sliding glass door or bring your own eye patch!! since the sun comes up right there, it makes it really hard to sleep past 5:30! Other than that one tiny detail, I would love to come here again, Sean was a great host and detailed with communication, the neighbors that we did see were nice, and it's such a spectacular experience to be out in the open lava flow with nothing around you but black rock!! So Surreal.
