Ben’s self-built home is truly a cute little gem right outside of the volcano National park. The hot tub and calming ambiance of the backyard allowed us to have a relaxing stay with our two little girls. We live on Oahu, so staying out at Ben’s home, which feels private and secluded, was such a wonderful (and needed) change of pace for us.
The home is about a 7 minute drive from the Volcano National park, 45 min to Hilo, and we also drove to Punaluʻu Beach (45 min) and South Point (1h 15 min). We personally felt like it was a great location and not TOO far. There are plenty of options if you would like to stay within 45 min of the home.
Nevertheless, we had a lovely short stay in Ben’s home and would absolutely recommend his place to others! Mahalo Ben!
