This place is a perfect home base for exploring Hilo and Volcano National Park. It’s about equidistant from each. And while there are places closer to the park you could stay, what makes this incredible are the lava cliffs in the backyard overlooking the ocean — including a spectacular sea arch. Terry was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed. Area does not have good data service, so download all instructions beforehand. Wifi works fine though. Truly a special location — highly recommend.
