Jen & Kristians place was everything we expected and more. It’s really out there in a rural area, if you’re looking for off the beaten path, super unique experience, this could be it. There are precautions to take to help minimize bugs coming into the place, but that is the nature of the area. We fortunately did not encounter many bugs at all. Walking distance to some very local black sand beaches, but still an hour drive from volcano national park. 20 min drive to nearest town with groceries and some great food options. Guide book very detailed will tell you everything you need to know. There can be people staying in the unit above, luckily they kept similar hours to us so didn’t bother us at all, but it’s not super insulated between units. We could hear their music, talking, movements, etc.
