Recommend 4wheel drive for the backroads around here.
It is very remote, in a deeply residential area. Basically, all of Volcano is like this. The house is so cute but it's quite open with big windows. I couldn't shake the feeling like neighbors could just walk right in. It felt a little more exposed than I am comfortable with (especially because the neighbors have wire fencing around all their properties). If you're looking for a place close to Volcanoes National Park, I recommend just staying in Hilo and driving to the parks for the day.
It has everything you need for a remote getaway: microwave, toaster oven, fridge, freezer, coffee maker, burners, shower, and plenty of sunshine. The bedroom is a loft with cable tv and big windows. Hot water didn't last very long but the bathroom has plenty of towels and lighting.
