Kristin welcomed us with delicious scones and a personalized welcome card, which was much appreciated. The room was clean and lovely with a comfortable bed and luxurious bathroom. The apartment was well appointed with tasteful and gracious furnishings. The private lanai was delightful, peaceful, and comfortable. A great place to sip coffee and munch on a scone, or simply read and relax. The serenity of the area contributed to our feelings of deep relaxation. Falling asleep under a luxurious down comforter, to the sounds of crickets and gentle rain was like a soothing lullaby. Waking to the cheerful and melodic bird songs was a delight.

We had no trouble connecting to the internet with our devices. The Wi-Fi was fast and reliable regardless of time of day.

The Kitchenette was adequate for preparing quick, pre-packaged meals when we were out and unable to stop at a restaurant, as happened several times during our stay. A selection of bagels, breads and juice were available for breakfasts as well as coffee and cream.

There are excellent restaurants in the area as well as closer to town.

Amenities such as a laundromat and small grocery/general store were available in the area.

This listing is a short distance from Volcanos Nat'l Park, Volcano Winery, the town of Volcano, and only 30 minutes from downtown Hilo.

This accommodation exceeded expectations and cemented our willingness to use Air B & B again in the future. Our host was friendly, warm and welcoming. The accommodations extremely pleasant.

In a word, our experience was delightful!
