First of all, Buck was so great about communicating that he had me covered every step and answered every question. I was so overwhelmed by French pressed coffee each morning that I'm still missing it! The hospitality was THE PERFECT mix of complete availability and privacy and every question was happily and thoroughly answered. Although it did rain a bit while I was there, it is OBVIOUS why this is called the SUNRISE COTTAGE--Wow! Mornings were pure delight. The shore-line drive along 137 was amazingly beautiful and worth mentioning as well. A great spot to stay to visit the spot to see the lava flow into the sea and enjoy a local scene on Wed nights. A 50 min drive to Hilo or the volcano with many great sights along the way.
