Booking and staying at Joshua’s home in Volcano was a wonderful experience from start to finish. First off, Joshua is very responsive, welcoming us to Hawaii and the area with detailed recommendations. He was kind enough to help us with specific questions we couldn’t find answers to in guidebooks or forums (traveling with a senior and a young child requires more thoughtful considerations!). Upon checking in, we were amazed by the generous welcome gift: a huge basket of local fruits that were the perfect late night snack after an evening hike to see the volcano. The coqui frogs also sang us a welcome, and the beds were pretty comfy in both rooms, giving us a good night of sleep before our departing flight the next day. Our son was smitten with the DVD collection (he’s a generation that only knows streaming!), and we wished we had more time to actually enjoy the space itself. Even though it’s off the beaten path (about 25-30 minutes from the trail to see the volcano), we would definitely recommend Joshua’s place as your home away from home in Volcano.
