The house is perfect for the family. There is a very friendly cat and as friendly dog! There is a loft for the kids to play. My son especially appreciated the huge Lego box. The house is well located to visit Volcano Park and to go biking at the lava flow. It is close enough from Hilo to shop. We really liked the tropical forest environment and the geckos all around. We felt home and we surely will be back if possible. Wendy was a great host (thanks for the honey;)
