Wow, what an amazing place. The pictures do not do it justice on the location, the spaciousness, and the relaxed feel for the place. Tons of room to hang out, read a book, or just listen to the waves crashing against the coastline. We fell asleep to the sounds of the waves each night, and woke up to see the sunrise each morning. This place is nestled at the end of a quiet street and the edge of a small neighborhood of homes. You can walk out the door and down a path to walk along the lava flows, or a short 5 minute walk to a nearby black sand beach for a quick dip in the sea. A bit off the beaten path, but within 1 hr driving distance to visit Hilo, and Volcano National Park. But we found ourselves spending more time at the house and its surrounding than we expected because it was so peaceful. Definite recommendation to our friends.
