The house in volcano was located in a great location to both volcano national park and the few shops and restaurants located in volcano. The car ride to the national park was literally 6min. There is a fantastic Thai restaurant called Thai Thai which has fantastic service and the food was awesome!
The house is located literally in the jungle with beautiful foliage , Hawaiian flowers and plants and was such a great atmosphere to sit and relax with a Kona beer.
The layout of the house is very nice and accommodates a large party of several families if needed. We used the house as base camp for trips to the black beach, the volcano, and trips to Hilo which was about 45 min car ride.
A side not the volcano national park costs $25 for the week but is accessible without a fee if entering before 7am. Plus the hikes are best in the morning especially in clear weather to see the volcano.
One suggestion is to limit the time for showers as there is a limit to the amount of “hot” water available.
Otherwise very nice stay
