We had a wonderful three night stay at this residence. It has wonderful views of the ocean and within walking distance to cliffs and beach. It is in a quiet residential area. We followed several of Randall's suggestions…Uncle Roberts (a must if you are there on Weds or Sat, Black sand beach, Mauna Kea Observatory at night, snorkeling in the warm water tide pools, and Volcano National Park. Randall has a great selection of books, and guides for the area. Also appreciated the beach gear for use such as snorkeling equip, cooler, mats and chairs. We would love to go back and explore the area some more. THis area seems to have less rainfall than the surrounding areas. The nearest grocery store is about 10 miles away so plan your food accordingly.
