The home is spacious and comfortable and very quiet with beautiful outdoor space and amenities. It was nice to be able to sit outside on the covered deck and listen to the rain, watch the pheasants and chickens roaming around in the trees and yard and watch the stars at night. The hosts are very friendly and super helpful with providing local suggestions on activities and food options. The property also has a garage space to park which is nice on those rainy days. It is very close to Volcano National Park, only a five minute drive, and even driving north or south it is less than an hour to some great locations, including the black sand beach which you can swim at. Floors are a little dirty despite the hosts asking per tradition to remove shoes so be sure to take advantage of the flip flops they offer or bring your own indoor shoe or wear socks and expect them to be dirty on the bottom, but besides that the unit was very clean and well equipped. It gets cold very fast inside the house at night even with windows closed so take advantage of the fireplace or bring some warmer clothes for sleeping.
