The rental provided plenty of room to spread out for our family of 5, with 3 kids ages 9-14, for our 2 night stay. The proximity to the National Park was unbeatable, allowing us to hit the Kilauea Iki trail early to beat the crowds. We do regret not getting groceries from Hilo on the way in. There are a couple of small stores with some groceries including pasta, sauce, fruits, drinks in Volcano. The house does not have oils or spices in the kitchen, so do bring your own. We had a great lunch at Eagle's Lighthouse Cafe and pizzas from Ohelo Restaurant. We were able to do the Kilauea Iki Trail, Thurston Lava Tube, Crater Rim and the drive down Chain of Craters Road in one day. The Visitor Center was closed during our stay but the gift shop was open.
