We loved the location of this home—perched on the lava cliffs above the sea. The porch was perfect for early breakfast. We saw or heard whales every day. The house is a ten to fifteen minute drive from amenities but situated in between Hilo, Pahoa, and the Volcanoes National Park. Beautiful gardens, koi pond, and quiet neighborhood. Nice, open floor plan and recently renovated. The owners beautiful photographs adorn the walls. The lot next to the house is a fishing spot for locals who were camped there during our stay. As the shoreline is public in Hawaii, folks would fish from the cliffs in the backyard. They were respectful, quiet, and often with their families but it surprised me at first to have folks in the backyard. I would come back to this property and recommend it, and noticed many similar comments in the guest book.
