The Jewel Box was everything we hoped for! The home is beautiful and you cannot be any closer to the ocean. There was a nice breeze most days so the absence of air conditioning wasn’t too noticeable and the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks was wonderful. We purposely chose a location away from the more crowded areas of the island and we were happy with our choice. It is a short (1hr) drive to Volcanoes National Park or to Hilo which is a neat city. The house also has a great sun deck with loungers that we used in the mornings. We also loved the fully stocked kitchen and were able to cook breakfast before heading out for the day. The king sized beds were a plus as well. We would definitely come back and stay for our next Big Island adventure!!
