An absolutely spectacular place to stay in one of the most beautiful places on earth! We stayed here for the proximity to Volcanoes National Park (it's actually pretty tough to stay much closer), the gorgeous ocean view, and the luxurious interior space, and we weren't disappointed on anything. The south end of the big island is truly one of the most beautiful places we've ever seen, and this is a perfect base for exploration.
There are a couple of towns within ~20 minutes if you need groceries or restaurants. The house itself has a beautiful perch overlooking the ocean, and we would lounge out by the pool for hours. Inside is super luxurious, with a really comfy bed, rain shower, and very well-equipped kitchen. We cooked most of our meals and had no issues. The house is also super spacious, which would be great if you're bringing a bunch of people. We booked it as a couple so that we would have space to work during the day (incidentally, the wifi was also excellent).
One note: for some reason, some of the taxes were not included in the rate on AirBNB, so expect to pay about 10% more than listed. Catherine and Suzanne were very upfront about it, and the place is still a great value, so we felt that we made a great, informed decision, but FYI.
Overall, we were super happy with both the location and the house and would stay here again in a heartbeat. We definitely recommend it!
