My husband and I are quite adventurous and did not spend much time utilizing Iris's place. Upon arriving Iris and Robert came down and greeted us! They welcomed us and showed us around the place. We had some questions and their answers where extremely helpful!! Upon reading the welcome book it seems like a lot of rules but really it's just being respectful, like you would take care of your own place. Iris and Robert were extremely hospitable with all they provided during our stay from drinks, snacks, to snorkel gear, binoculars, even towels and toiletries in the bathroom!!! There was no A/C in the unit but high powered fans which I thought we be muggy at night (we are from South Louisiana where you NEED A/C) but it was actually very pleasant. Everything in Iris's place was clean, comfortable and easy to use. There is a black sand beach not far I would highly recommend visiting, also the Lava viewing! We rented a car and spent a good amount of time driving around the island to visit waterfalls and the volcano national park. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would recommend it to anyone wanting to visit the island!
