I really enjoyed Roxanne's place. The listing is as advertised. Very clean. Very spacious for one person, but perfect for a small family. She has everything you could possibly need. The home is 30 minutes from town. Do make sure you get food before you arrive. It took me about 30-45 minutes to get to the Volcano National Park from the house; 1 hour and 15 minutes to get to Punalu'u Black Sand Beach; 30 minutes to get to Rainbow Falls; and 35 minutes to get to Boiling Pots. I'm very big on safety. The biggest thing that stood out about the house was the gate. I loved the automatic gate! At night, it gave me a sense of security that I needed to rest being that I was out there all alone. It's perfect for families with small children who like to play outdoors.
P.S. - Do check out the cliffs directly down the road. It's a peaceful little spot to listen to the waves crash against the lava rock.
