This house and its property are an absolute gem! It was truly one of the highlights of our trip. The lush, tropical landscape is like paradise. If you open some windows, you can hear the sound of the ocean from the house. At night we fell asleep to the sounds of the ocean. There is always a very nice breeze and we rarely needed the air conditioning. The porch view is stunning. We walked to the lava rocks to see the ocean and it was wonderful having that access right behind the house. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary tools. I was especially happy to use the French press. The pool was great. The kids used it everyday. There were inner tubes, pool noodles, lounge chairs and a hammock available. The house was decorated beautifully and well stocked with everything you might need. We used the flashlights when we went to Volcanoes National Park to view the lava. There was a great collection of board games and books available. The property is a great mid-way point between Hilo and Volcanoes National Park. We used Malama Market for our groceries. It’s about 15 minutes drive from the house. Terry was very responsive and great at communicating. I would highly recommend this property.
