John’s place is close to the black sands beach, near the Volcano National Park, the southern end of the island, not too far from Hilo. It is perfect for location and perfect for a peaceful and enjoyable visit to the big Island. Our 3 generational family group enjoyed every minute of our stay. It is a beautiful house, well designed, pristine wood floors and tiling and yet warm and cheerful. We each had our favorite - the jet tub or the outdoor shower! The kitchen is well stocked and the open plan of the 2nd floor with the full deck makes for a delightful morning or evening in the open air! This home away from home is just what everyone from Grandpa to the young 3 year old would want!! We thank you for allowing us to borrow it for our first visit to Hawaii.
