We loved staying at Tutu's place in Volcano Village. This was our first stop on a 3 week tour of the Big Island, Maui and Kauai and it was the perfect place to unwind and settle into our vacation. Alex sent personal recommendations for places to visit both in Volcano Village as well as Kona and Hilo. Our family of 4 (two kids 14 and 12) checked out many of these local spots. There are two cute cafes/restaurants within a block of the house and a small grocery store. The house is magical. It is located on a beautiful, mossy road with hydrangeas lining the driveway. The stainglass and antique furniture lent the house a cozy charm and the beds were very comfy. We appreciated the games, cards and books since it rained quite a bit while we were there. And it was just a short drive to the volcanos. We were lucky enough one night to see the lava bubbling from Kilauea. Check out was a dream. Highly recommend a visit to Volcano Village and Tutu's place. It was peaceful and dreamy
