The house definitely has an absolutely gorgeous cliffside view especially during sunrise/sunset. It was in a quiet neighborhood with pretty nice surrounding beach homes. We definitely enjoyed our stay here. The house was also equipped with various beach gear like chairs, beach towels, snorkeling gear, life jackets, ponchos etc. They even had binoculars and flashlights which we used to go see the volcano lava at night at VNP! I will say that there is not much shops or eateries super close by. I would suggest to go to the nearby grocery stores before heading to the house. If you have late night munchies like us, there is not much open past 7pm. You'll need to go to Hilo to find restaurants or fast food. The house does not have AC but uses a fan system. We are not use to not having AC so it was an adjustment but does get chilly during the night. Overall we didn't run into any issues and would definitely consider staying here again if we ever return to the Big Island.
