This is a great place on the south end of the island. We wanted to get away from Kona & Hilo and experience the rural part of the island— Eric’s place (or the “UFO house” as my daughter called it) was perfect. We had easy access to the gurgling lava at Volcano & sea turtles at Black Sand Beach. Grocery stores & restaurants nearby made it easy to both experience local cuisine and keep some of our normal staples in the House. Eric gave us space and privacy while being sure to let us know he was available if we needed anything. Overall great experience.
