The main purpose of my family's trip to the Big Island was to visit Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. This property was nestled in a quiet neighborhood just minutes from the National Park entrance, which was perfect for us!
The property manager was kind enough to have the housekeepers leave lights on for us as we were arriving well after dark ... and it was dark! One temporary confusion was a locked gate we didn't anticipate to drive onto the property. Fortunately, the code was the same as the house code, so we were able to gain entry. The description also mentioned a nonexistent carport. No big deal, but the check in information should probably be updated for future guests.
The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well appointed and useful. There was even a coffee grinder! Toaster and toaster oven were available, but no oven and no dishwasher. Again, we didn't miss them, though.
The BEST attribute of this house was the outdoor day bed suspended from the porch ceiling. We each enjoyed our time hanging out on it. Such a unique feature! The quiet of the neighborhood (aside from nature sounds) was very restorative.
There was a wood stove in the living area which we attempted to use, but it seemed to be for decorative purpose only. Everything else in the house was in good working order. The only real negative was an intermittent odor which we attributed to probably being related to the damp climate.
A great stay overall! Recommend!
