We stayed for a couple of days at Joel’s house as we explored Volconoes NP. The house is in a great spot for that. To Hilo it’s about half an hour drive.
The house is spacious, clean and comfy. We liked the privacy, the well equipped kitchen, the big comfy couch in the living room and the big master bedroom with a nice view into the garden.
I do recommend the stay at Joels house. We found everything we needed in there.
Joel was very quick in replying to any questions.
