Tracy’s place is fantastic! It’s every bit as perfect as we’d hoped. It’s very close to Volcanoes National Park! We were able to easily zip up there before daylight to see the lava flowing, we went to the park many times, it was very convenient to get there. Tracy provides multiple guide books to help with your exploring (I recommend getting the Shaka Big Isle app if you’re planning to explore on your own.)
The house is also only about 30 mins from Richardson Ocean Park, a fantastic place for snorkeling, near Hilo!
We like to cook and the kitchen had everything we needed. (I was very happy to see the note that leftover food would be taken care of and not wasted.)
The hot tub was perfect for us after our many outdoor adventures. The beds were very comfortable and the sheets were nice. The house was spotless, excellent private location, in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood.
I highly recommend staying at Tracy’s place! Seriously. Book it now! Don’t even bother continuing to search for places.
