The house is attractive and very well stocked with just about anything one would want for a beach vacation. Cupboards are loaded with all sorts of gear. The grounds are extensive and beautifully maintained. Communication was excellent.
The location is great for Volcano National Park (about 5 minutes to the park gate), but about 40 minutes away from Hilo's beaches. It's just something to keep in mind - we spent a lot of time in a car driving away from where we were staying. During our week there, the weather in Volcano was consistently drizzly, overcast and grey. We had one gloriously sunny, bright morning out of 7. It's just the location, no fault of the owners.
