A lovely space with easy access to Volcano NP that allowed us to experience the crater at both sunrise and sunset.
Julia has separated the front entry way and bedroom in her home to be used by guests. The hallway space has been set up with a mini breakfast nook where we were able to make coffee and our choice of toast with homemade spread, granola, or hard boiled eggs. When we first got there the space felt a little tight for two people and our luggage, but we settled in and worked it out. It was raining and cold, so we had to turn on the space heater then wait to turn on the hot water heater for a warm shower. Not a big deal, I assume it's a Hawaii thing maybe related to solar power.
Julia was so helpful and friendly. She gave us her recommendations on hikes and seeing the lava flow into the ocean, she even lent us a geology book so we can learn more about the area. Overall we recommend staying with Julia. The space and the home are gorgeous. The subdivision is in the rain forest, and Julia has cultivated a beautiful landscape around her home. We had a wonderful stay.
