We had a great stay at Julie's house. I'd say that it exceeded our expectations. We looked for a house with 3 separate bedrooms and a pool and in south side of the island and in a quiet place and with a view and it got all that. Kids used the pool every day, regardless of weather and you cannot control the weather honestly. It is 45 minute drive to Volcanic park that is handy cause you cannot do all park trails in one day. it is a short drive to South point with amazing sunsets among the best ones on the island.
