Great location if you are planning on spending time in Volcano National Park. Just a quick 5 minute drive to the entrance gate. The lanai is an extra treat. We enjoyed sitting out there listening to the birds each day, or just listening to the rain. The covered carport is also nice since this part of the island tends to be more rainy. The development that the house is in is very quiet and private. Easy to find from highway and good directions from the owner. We really enjoyed having fresh fruit and coffee beans for our arrival. Local town is small, so lacking a large grocery store. If you plan on cooking much, stock up on groceries either in Hilo or Kona before you arrive. The house does have a nice gas grill on the covered lanai so grilling is a great option.
