We can’t say enough good things about Sam’s place and our stay!! It really felt like a home away from home. Fully stocked kitchen. Short walk down to the black sand beach to see sea turtles any time you want. Amazing views of the stars from the patio. The grounds of the complex are immaculate. Comfortable bed and plenty of pillow options. 35 mins to Volcanoes National Park!! There aren’t any big cities nearby and limited restaurant options but we stocked up in Hilo on our drive in. Saw some endangered Nene Hawaiian geese on the neighboring golf course (not currently open). We had an amazing stay and we hope to be back. Highly recommend!!
