If you’re planning on exploring the east side of the Big Island, this Volcano cottage is the perfect location. Its right in the middle between Hilo, South Point and Punulu’u Black Sand Beach, and Kalapana and 5 minutes from Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The area is rainy and lush, but we loved how cozy and secluded it was. The house is beautiful and clean and every detail is provided for. We loved hearing the sounds of the coqui frogs at night and eating breakfast on the big backyard deck with the rainforest view. This felt like a home away from home!
