The yard is filled with flowers and friendly chickens. The house is very comfy and the screens are excellent. The bed is big and comfortable, the AC in the bedroom works very well, the kitchen is well equipped and has toaster, oven, stove, washer, dryer. We really appreciated the filtered rainwater for drinking. The forest is tropical and filled with frogs and giant plants— great atmosphere. Volcanoes park is a 30 minute drive, perfectly doable for a nighttime run to see the glowing volcano. There’s a classic Hawaiian style fast food institution (Blane’s) just 10 min drive from the house for when you’re craving a teriyaki burger or fried chicken.
