WOW! This is a clean, updated property located in the quaint, quiet residential area of the town of Volcano just outside of the National Park. We stayed here for 2 nights, but wished we could've stayed longer! I would definitely highly recommend staying at Nicole's property if you are visiting this side of the Big Island, and especially if you are visiting the National Park because its location is incredibly convenient for quick access. On top of its great location, the property is immaculately clean, felt like new, has everything one needs as a guest, and has a comfortable bed. We also particularly enjoyed the covered porch which has ample seating to sit or dine. This part of Hawaii is very lush, and the porch (and entire lot) is surrounded with giant ferns and other foliage. It was nice to sit outside and listen to the rain on the leaves and hear the birds calling. Check-in and check-out were both seamless, and the host also provides a very resourceful and informational guestbook with everything one needs to know about the property and the surrounding area. The kitchen appeared to be well stocked and very functional, but due to our short stay, we did not utilize it apart from the fridge. And, although we did not use them, the property does have a new large washer and dryer in the bathroom which would be very handy for longer stays. While the house is small, the space is so well utilized, exceptionally furnished, and nicely decorated that it feels way bigger than it actually is (thanks in part also to the tall ceilings and covered outdoor space). We truly loved our stay and commend Nicole for hosting a stellar property. This was the perfect Airbnb experience for the two of us during our trip to the National Park - an affordable, beautiful space in a beautiful place.
