After leaving the bustling, noisy, dry and sunny side of Kona, we arrived at this place on the rainy side of the island. I’ll be honest... I thought we would be cooped up in the rain for five days staring at each other.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Once we adapted to the absolute quiet of the place, we enjoyed a slice of heaven on earth.
We only had one rainy day, which we spent at Volcanoes National Park. And amazingly, every time we got out of the car, it stopped raining.
The home is beautifully appointed. We were two couples traveling, so we used only two of the bedrooms. The third room’s bed was used as a dresser because the rooms don’t have them. Also, we rearranged the living area so that we could all sit at the table together (and play cribbage).
There were no ice cube trays, but they were provided immediately when I inquired.
I expected the place to be right in Volcano, but it is actually further down toward Hilo (near Mountain View) so it was warmer than expected and closer to town than expected.
The location was great for exploring Hilo, South Point, and Volcanoes.
