Our family of four had a lovely 5-week stay at Julie’s spacious, 3-bedroom house. The Puna coast is one of the more remote parts of Hawaii, in the very best way. A car is a must for this location as it's 20 min to the nearest store and 1 hour to Hilo. Just a few minutes walk away is a spectacular black sand beach full of friendly people. Just be aware that it is clothing optional and has no lifeguard. The lanai was a favorite of ours. We had few problems with bugs as long as we kept windows open (screened) and doors shut, plus left the lanai bug zapper on. The adorable house geckos did their part to help. Our only complaint, and it's a slight one (our stay was 5/5 overall and we'd definitely return) was that the living room could be upgraded with a larger TV and more comfortable seating. We'd highly recommend this property for anything from a short stay of only a night or two to a long-multi-month stay and will miss the very tranquil and laid-back vibe of the Red Highway region.
