We really enjoyed staying at Alice's place by the Volcanoes National Park. The house is clean, modern, chic, and has everything we needed for our stay! The house is 10 min from Volcanoes National Park which means it's 40 min from Hilo (with traffic). Alice did a great job of reminding us to bring water and any food from Kona. We ended up driving to Hilo everyday and the drive is easy. Alice was also quick to respond to our questions and updated us the status of the volcano eruption when we were there! We would love to stay here again next time visiting the Big Island and recommend staying here if you are visiting the Volcanoes National Park!
