Nice quiet place perfect for two or maybe two plus a small child. We were a family of 4 with 2 older teenager and it was a squeeze. Just saying ... read the other reviews.
Stephanie was quick to respond to all of our questions and told of the best new black sand beach on the island. Unless Stephanie replaced it since we were there, do not plan on drying long hair, and the hair dryer is a bit weak. Also keep in mind the water is all rain water that is treated. As such they ask you to do your best to conserve water. If treated rain water concerns you, plan to bring a few gallons of water from the Walmart on your way form Hilo.
It was about 50 minutes to Volcano, 25 minutes to Hilo, and 30 minutes to that black sand beach.
Enjoy the geckos as they are everywhere -- but they are cute -- so we did not mind. The A/C works okay, but don't expect it to run super cool. There are plenty of fans to keep you cool. The washer and dryer worked fine for us -- Stephanie even had detergent from Costco for us to use. Thanks for that!
The kitchen was pretty well equipped.
Oh -- and drive very slowly into the property if you have a low set car or it will scrape on the ground as you enter. Better not drive in with your Lamborghini.
Thanks again to Stephanie -- we enjoy the stay -- albeit tight :).
