The setting was awesome. It was such a unique experience to get up in the morning and explore the lava field and enjoy the ocean without a lot of people around. The house was clean and the thematic furnishings set a peaceful vibe. The house is not air conditioned, but Rachel provided a portable air conditioner which was helpful, as this California girl finds the humidity quite miserable. The only other inconveniences were the lack of a microwave and the time restrictions on the laundry room.
