My wife and I loved staying here! This place has everything you could need. The ocean view is just unreal. Made the place feel like it was just us and the ocean. Fall asleep listening to waves on the lanai it's very peaceful. The night sky on a clear night is surreal as the waves hit. Even inside you can hear the waves well and feel vibrations when they are larger. Every meal we ate there we had outside just for the views. We enjoyed hikes along the coast near the residence and very beautiful sunsets. It's a little drive to get supplies but nothing I'm not used to where I live. Beautiful surrounding areas that are a must visit are in good proximity to the residence. Those being Green Sands Beach, Volcano National Park, and a Black Sand Beach. The host is very friendly and good at keeping you informed on inclement weather. This may be useful in planning your days around times of high surf. We would love to stay again if available when we plan our next adventure to Hawaii. Thanks!
