The rental is amazing. The outdoor bathing areas are really magical. Falling asleep to the sound of frogs and waking up with the birds was wonderful. It’s great for a short romantic trip to see Volcano National Park. I can only say positive things about the rental.
The only down side is It is pretty remote, which can be good and less so. The last stretch of road to the house is gravel. So things to consider if renting a car. Don’t plan on being able to eat out in the off season (we were there in October) there wasn’t anything open for breakfast or lunch unless you drive 40 minutes into Hilo or get a table at the restaurant in the NP. There is a food truck and one small restaurant open some of the week for dinner. Dana gave us the heads up, to pick groceries up beforehand-which was incredibly helpful.
