I absolutely loved staying at Iris's place! She and Rob were so hospitable and welcoming--they even had an adorable cat who was just as welcoming! The home was situated near the newest black sand beach and among rainforest-like trees. The drive there was easy and beautiful. I really enjoyed how the home was away from the town because I got to take in more nature, but just know that you do have to drive a bit for food and groceries! I highly recommend this place to any pair of future travelers wanting to explore the east side of the Big Island.
