Fantastic location for going to Volcanoes National Park. For a lot of other things, be prepared to drive a lot on the island. Reasonably close to Hilo. This side of the island has black sand beaches and a green sand beach, but if looking for that brochure-style white sand beach, you’ll want to be closer to the Kona side. There’s no location on the big island close to everything, so you may consider here for Hilo side activities and another place for Kona -side activities.
The house itself was spotless and had almost everything we could have needed. The stargazing at night was breathtaking. The beds were comfortable and the house was perfect! The air was crisp and fresh, and the cooler temp at the elevation was refreshing after a hot day of being out and about.
