Mitch's home was perfect for any groups of four or less people. The home was spotless and well-appointed. We took advantage of the full kitchen - feel free to get some groceries and save money on eating out! There is also a washer/dryer which would be handy if you like to pack light.
As this was partly a business and partly get-away trip, I appreciated the quiet neighborhood and solid connectivity.
The location is quiet, but only a 3-minute drive to the main entrance of Volcano's National Park. (Tragically, the park was closed due to the 2018 eruption that damaged the Park infrastructure, but will hopefully be open soon!). It is about 40 minutes from Hilo and the southern tips of the Island, and are both scenic and fun drives.
House rules were reasonable and clearly spelled out; access was easy and the caretaker was only a short distance away if we would have had any issues.
5 out of 5 stars - would stay here again, and will when I return to Hawai'i!
