I would highly recommend this cottage if you are planning to visit Hawaii and the Big Island. There is something magical about living in a city, but waking up to the calls of the jungle birds in the morning... and feeling like you're a million miles from returning back to work. This was our third trip to the Big Island and we love Volcano... and loved the location of this cottage. You are literally right down the road from the entrance to the National Park. Less than 30 miles from Hilo. Less than 100 miles from Kona. About an hour from the Mona Kea Road. Skip the glitzy and fake Oahu and Honolulu and see what Hawaii is really all about. You couldn't beat the price here either, especially with the full kitchen when you can cook some meals and save more money over some of the high-priced options around. Would stay here again in a heart beat if we ever go back.
