We spent a week on the Big Island - drove all the way around the perimeter. So we were really glad that we spent the majority of our time in Volcano - near all the attractions that we wanted to see - but nestled in the trees off the main road. We booked Todd's place because of the hot tub, but we were actually impressed with the entire layout. We were leaving the island the morning that Mauna Loa erupted so we were a little frazzled, but we left feeling very welcomed and supported by everyone we met in the Southeast corner of the island. Todd gave us lots of tips without being intrusive.
