If you are looking fo get away from the standard tourist/resort experience, this is a good bet. This cool interesting house is in a really dramatic location, like staying "on the moon.". Although 45 minutes from Kona the drive is very scenic and full of fun things to do (also a good base for exploring Captain Cook and the South end of the island). The house is really comfortable (really well equipped kitchen for cooking), nice ocean views, and very peaceful. We felt like we were truly "away" and in nature. It was a memorable experience that made our trip more special.
