My husband and I spent a week at Emily's Volcano House. We had an amazing experience. The kitchen is very well stocked with utensils, gadgets, and cookware. I brought coffee, tea, and sugar in my suitcase so we wouldn't have to buy. There was a teapot (yay) and she even has a smoothie blender, storage containers for food, salt, pepper, and olive oil. (past guests may have left these...but came in handy). There was laundry soap provided. I brought dryer sheets with me, but there was already a few there. Emily had bars of soap and some mini shampoo/conditioners in the bathroom. If you are going to do any exploring on the island such as going to the summit of Moana Kea or Moana Loa...you do need a 4 wheel drive vehicle. The house is down an unpaved road, but it didn't rain much while we were and we didn't need 4 wheel drive for the road....advice...just get a 4 wheel drive vehicle if you want to do some exploring or you will be limiting your adventures on the island. Read the instructions Emily sends carefully. They are exact and perfect. Do not depend on your google map or GPS to get to the house. We had no problems getting the key from the lockbox, directions were perfect. The house was very, very clean. The Wi-Fi worked very well, no problems. Emily has TVs both upstairs and downstairs with Roku if you want to log on to your Hulu, Netflix, etc. The home was super comfortable as far as temperature. The evenings were nice and cool and the windows all have screens so you can have an open air feel to the space. The hot tub was very clean and relaxing....the star gazing from the backyard was phenomenal. Emily has a large closet in the bathroom where she provides more than enough wood hangers. There is also some extra pillows in the closet and an iron. She had an extra blanket in the living room that we had to use on some of the cooler evenings....which we appreciated. Emily provides other little touches such as beach chairs, snorkel gear, flashlights and umbrellas. She also had a couple of leis in the house. We put these in our rental truck because we read that the biggest crime on the island is rental car break-ins (not like Tulsa where the homicide rate is high). We read that we should put a lei in our car so we came off looking more like locals. So, that was a nice touch to have there. The master bed is ridiculously heavenly....we have to buy one immediately. There is a very Namaste feel to the upstairs and Emily provides a peaceful and tranquil space for yoga and meditation (I don't do this because I have 2 kids...but I was kind of wishing I did so I could use the space more efficiently). The hammock is out on a screened in porch...LOVE...very comfortable. To make a short...
