The house is great. Lots of space and the kitchen was well stocked. Games and snorkel gear were great bonuses. Enjoyed the openness of the floor plan and the indoor/outdoor flow. It's a block from the lava bluffs overlooking the sunset and we enjoyed sitting there and staring out into the ocean with the waves crashing against the rocks. It was a good location to get to Hilo and the Volcano. It was quiet and peaceful for the most part but there is still construction going on next door though it was light. There was one day when they were playing music but it wasn't unpleasant for us. But when you're hanging in the living room and by the pool there isn't privacy from the neighbors. I am sure eventually they will plant some trees to block the view. It's a little unfortunate that the pool is on the side of the house facing the neighbors yard when they have this lovely green expanse at the back of the house facing the ocean (which you can see a little of).
