The location is really the best - everything was within a 15-minute drive - grocery, beaches, waterfalls, lava tube, parks, departure point for the lava boat tour! We were able to do light cooking (pasta and sausage). The only thing we found inconvenient was that the front door had a large window that would allow people to see in (we covered it up with a paper bag, so it was an easy fix for us), and some water damage on the floor in the bathroom, which would make the bathroom door open only half-way through. But the location is really hard to beat! We also enjoyed sleeping to the sounds of tranquil bird chirping. Easy parking is another plus. I really appreciate that our host had just put in an AC!
