Location, location, location. This house was perfect for our group, which included 5 adults and 1 child. It is about an hour's drive to Volcano National Park on one side of the island or great snorkeling beaches on the other side. There are gems even closer - a black sand beach which is easy to get to, and a green sand beach, which is more challenging. A fantastic tour of a lava tube is about a 10 minute drive. Oh, and you have a beautiful view of the sun setting over the ocean from the house. This location is away from the populated spots, which we loved, but eating establishments are limited, with limited hours. We did most of our own cooking. The house, itself, is charming, and Geri provides everything you will need. She is a magnificent host. She is very quick to respond if you have any issues and provides detailed instructions for the house. Check the fridge and pantry before you go shopping! You will find many of the condiments/spices that you are looking for.
