The views from the balcony (sunrise, sunset, midday, rainy, whatever) is AMAZING. I cannot stress this part enough! We got to look out towards the ocean and enjoy views I can usually only dream about!
The house is conveniently located if you want to explore the island. We got to Volcanoes national park in about an hour and 15, to Captain Cook in 40 or less, and to countless beaches close by within 15-30 minutes. You won’t be close to a Walmart but there’s a couple small local mini-marts that will have basic toiletries and groceries.
Now the only thing I will mention is that if you need 4 bedrooms, you will have to put that 9 people are coming otherwise you will only have access to 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an open upstairs loft (for a total of 3 queen/king beds, and 2 twins connected at the feet). The 4th bedroom and 3rd bathroom are in a separate downstairs suite that is only included with 9+ people on the reservation. Our group had 4 couples, so I did not see that the whole home is not included unless we opted for the 9th person, and arrived to a house that we didn’t fit into, BUT Albert consistently communicated with me and we were able to get it figured out on the first night.
so to conclude, this is an amazing home, in an amazing location, with a fantastic host and it’s a super comfortable stay, what else can you want??
