This place was a great base for us - about an hour from Hawaii Volcanoes NP, close to Puhoa where there are some great places to eat, and very close to the ocean. We walked to the shore for some amazing views at sunrise, and also had a chance to check out the black sand beach nearby.
The house rents like two separate units, which works well for privacy. The kitchen is upstairs and is in the same space as the bedroom, so just be aware. There’s a huge wrap-around lanai that’s great for meals and hanging out. Hope we get a chance to come back someday!
