Connie and Andrew's house is close to Pahoa Town, Hilo, and Volcanoes National Park, but is tucked away in the rainforest and feels very private. The house has everything we could possibly think of needing (snorkel gear, umbrellas, guide books, basic spices for cooking...) and we really enjoyed eating our meals on the patio and soaking in the tub. I recommend this as a relaxing home base for exploring the east side of the Big Island.
