Sandy place is perfect if you're after a private secluded get away. You are literally on top of the ocean so the view from the back deck and bedroom are spectacular. You're about 30min from the next town and an hour drive from Hilo. It's a 10minute drive to the fantastic lava viewing platform and 20minutes from the volcanic hot Springs. There's loads to do around Sandy's place, but you would definitely need a car. The house has everything you could want, from a great kitchen, washer & dryer, flat screen TV etc. Its a great place to stay and Sandy provided lots of activities and suggestions for our stay. Would would definitely recommend staying here.
