The location was perfect for us as we wanted to take the boat tour (recommended by Buck) to see lava flowing into the ocean (only 6 miles away). The cottage is also a short walk (5 min) to the Kehena black sand beach (clothing optional). The host (Buck) and the owner (Dan) were incredibly accommodating. They did everything possible to make us feel welcome. The room was charming and the king size bed extremely comfortable. The bed linens were also very high quality which was a nice bonus.
