If you are looking to explore Volcanoes National Park, this is an amazing spot for a home base! We stopped to see the glow from the crater every night on our way back! Accessible to the areas surrounding Hilo and Pahoa, as well as South Point and the green sand beach (so long as you have a rental car and are up for an hour or so drive!). We also managed a day trip to Kailua-Kona. It was great to be able to come home each night after adventuring from more populated areas to such a tranquil and private space! The well-paved roads and gridded structure of the neighborhood made it simple to get home in the dark, so there’s no need to rush back from any trips.
