The location is great, halfway between Kona and the National Park. View of the ocean is relaxing (power lines are more noticeable in person than in photo) and the view of the sunset is great from the second story porch. The house is large enough for everyone to spread out. We had a family of 4 and 2 grandparents. Grill ran out of gas and Kira showed up in no time to replace it. Water and all utilities ran perfectly. The highlight is the snorkeling and exploring the lava flows. Both are world class. Snorkeling has coral but the number / diversity of fish are amazing. The lava at the north and south end of the neighborhood would be a national park or monument anywhere else in the states. I would recommend staying here. (note- there are mosquitoes. We used repellent and mosquito coils with great results)
