This property was exactly as pictured. The check in went smoothly and everything in the house was as expected. The view was impressive.
Our disappointment came as we traversed the concrete path to the waters edge. We realized immediately there was no safe access point from which to snorkel. The path from the house led to a significant drop with no ladder access, so even if we felt capable of jumping off into the water there was no way to return to land from this point. The "easy" access point just one house over was not much better because of the waves crashing against the lava rocks. Maybe the waves were just extra ominous the 3 days we were there. We saw several people who walked to the lava's edge as we did, but not one person actually got in the water during our 3 day stay at this property. If your looking for safe or easy water access look else where.
