Unique stay in beautiful lava desolation. I love this area of the island as it’s remote and eclectic. The small sections of gravel roads that you need to use are navigable and are more than worth the scenery, stars and quiet. You really get a sense of how people adapt their lives around the flow of lava and the unpredictability of geologic forces and nature. The house itself is really cool and perfectly fit our family of four-the architecture was really interesting and I like the outdoor option for eating. Like many homes in Hawaii it utilizes rainwater through a filter system and is off the grid. We had one night where the neighbors generator was a bit annoying but otherwise the space was beyond amazing. Host and support staff were responsive and friendly.
If you require pristine spaces, HOA neighborhoodS, are not comfortable with some dirt/gravel roads or coqui frogs, this place may not be for you, however.
I would bring your own coffee If you are not a fan of Starbucks.
