The Bali house is absolutely beautiful! It's just as the pictures show. Quite a relaxing place and a very well done house - comfortable, well laid out & exquisitely decorated! The master bedroom faces the ocean and it's just lovely waking up to the ocean sounds. The frog sounds are pretty loud at night but a wonderful way to fall asleep. There are a lot of geckos crawling around everywhere - they're harmless but if you're bothered by any of that just keep in mind they're everywhere on the walls in the house. The location was perfect for us - we didn't realize until we got there that the lava flows from Kilauea are just a few miles down the street. It was an easy drive and we had a great time biking and seeing the lava flows up close and personal on our very first night in. There are also tide pools 10miles from the location that are just perfect for snorkeling - absolutely beautiful! We also enjoyed walking to the beach across the street. The location is secluded but close enough to a number of excursions. The town of Pahoa is only 15 mins away and a great place to grab food - we loved having breakfast at Pele. We also drove to Hilo a few times, went to the Volcanoes national park & Mauna Kea from here and the drives were not bad at all. Great location & a beautiful getaway house!
