If you want to get a way this is a nice place. It is not close to the major attractions, but it has it's own beauty. Walking distance to a volcanic flow beach and a wonderful little performance area with great Wednesday concerts and local food, plus a mini market for the little things you may need during your stay.
The house needs some work and shows some signs of disrepair. The bedrooms were nice and fit our crew of 9 people nicely. We explored Pahoa, Hilo and the Volcanic National Park in less than an hours drive. Follow the cars to the local hidden beaches, it is worth the hike.
