The Whale House met our needs pretty well, since my daughter was attending a dance retreat at Kalani. Parked right next to the house. Lovely flowers that grandbaby loved to look at. Plenty of room for my husband and I with our daughter and 14-month grandaughter. A pacNplay was provided for baby and they slept in the bedroom. We slept on the worlds most comfortable futon. Uncles on Wednesday night is great, Pahoa is only 25 minutes away. Kehena Beach is right across the street, though not necessarily infant friendly. We could bip over to the overlook parking area and watch the sunrise, which we loved. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed. Having a dryer was priceless, as nothing dries in Puna including your bath towels. The bathtub was great for the baby, especially after visiting the wonderful Ahalanui warm pools.
