A clean, quiet location for a family vacation. This location is away from Hilo but only by about 30 minutes. Right down the road is a small state park, Volcano Tree, which was fun to walk around briefly one night and see remains of trees that had been consumed by lava a long time ago. The house was clean and remote so no traffic at night, just the sound of chirping frogs. This side of Hawaii is humid but with the windows open and fans running it was plenty cool at night and we did not have any problem with bugs. We enjoyed this as a reasonably priced place to base out of for our adventures during the day. There is a fruit and vegetable stand half way to Hilo that provided great produce. The kitchen had plenty of pans and utensils to cook meals and the living room was large with good seating to hang out at night. Also, the beds were on the soft side if that is what you prefer. All in all a great place, just know that it is remote which can be a bonus for those wanting to be out of town.
