We really enjoyed our stay at Kalapana Shores! The home is just as described and well-represented by the pictures. We spent most of our time on the deck because of the amazing views of the tropical plants and ocean in the distance. The neighborhood was very quiet; there was some road noise during the day, but it wasn't a problem for us and was quieter at night. The kids loved "swimming" in the hot tub and looking for frogs and geckos in the garden. We also liked exploring the nearby lava flow - you can walk on the hardened lava all the way to the ocean. Nearby Uncle Robert's was great for food and live music.
The beds were comfortable, the shower had great water pressure, and the kitchen was well-stocked with plenty of cooking supplies (pots/ pans/ pyrex storage containers/ small appliances). I'm not sure of the actual square feet, but it felt very roomy, especially with the outdoor deck. We felt it was a great value and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!
