This place has an amazing view of the ocean from just about every spot inside! The balcony faces the ocean and is great for morning coffee, reading, or just relaxing with a drink. The beach just across the street can be reached via a short hike down the cliff, and is popular but never overly crowded. While the place is remote, there are a number of restaurants about 20 minutes away via car in the nearest town. Day trips to Volcanoes National Park, Hilo and beyond are easy. We enjoyed the sounds of the ocean and wildlife; it was a welcome change after our previous week in busy Kona.
