Very nice place. The views are great and blew my wife away. The ocean was right there just 10-15 yards from the house, but it is not an area where you can wade in, snorkel, or kayak. Like a fine painting, look and appreciate it's beauty, but don't touch. Liked having the extras boogie boards and sand toys. You are out in the boonies and since the volcano is currently very active which has shutdown all the volcanoes National Park we had to drive at least 45 minutes to get to any sites. And while we were only approximately 3 miles from fissure 8, the air was clean and clear and you are in absolutely no danger. The upstairs bedroom is super cool and all the beds were comfortable. Would definitely stay again and would recommend it to anyone who wanted to get away from everything or didn't mind a little drive if the roads stay closed.
