The house is located just minutes from the Volcano National Park and if you are going to spend a few days in the park, this location is perfect for you. The weather in volcano is different from the coast, so expect temperatures to be a good bit cooler and more rain than what you will see on the coast. We learned to wear layers for the days :) But we did have sunny mornings and it was so nice to wake up to the natural light that pours thoughout the house in its various skylights. It really is a beautiful home and in a pretty setting. There are numerous quaint restaurants near the house as well if you want to eat out. There is not a TV in the house, but there is a nice quality stereo system with some CDs and Bluetooth capability to play music and they also provided a handful of board games. We also enjoyed strumming the ukulele a bit!
