We booked this place for its proximity to the Volcano National Park and were not disappointed. Literally a 7 minute drive to the park entrance made it possible for us to get to the park early. The location is in a quiet private community and the accommodations we got (Room #4) was more than adequate. Comfortable bed, amenities and supplies made this a great value. John, our host, was very gracious and helpful especially when we were looking for suggestions for sight seeing, places to eat and info in general. We did several hikes in the park and would suggest getting to the trailheads early to get parking. The Kilauea Iki trail is definitely worth it but our most exciting night was when we got to see the current eruption from Keanakakoi Overlook. It was very crowded when we first went at 730 and had a wait time of 2 hours to get to the parking lot but because our Airbnb was so close, we had dinner and came back around 10pm and went straight thru to the parking lot access to the overlook.
On our last night we got to enjoy the hot tub which Is a great boon after a good day hiking. While there was no toaster / stove top amenities in the room, we didn't miss it and John also went out of the way in securing a slow cooker for us and there is a microwave, coffee maker and refrigerator. Overall we were pleased with the value and would recommend this for access to all volcano national park activities although its also only 30-40 minutes from Hilo too. Enjoy eating on the lanai and do not miss getting out to see the night sky if its clear. You are in the perfect spot.
