Wow! The only critique of this place is that the pictures do not do it justice. Seeing the beautiful green roof as we came down the mountain was exciting. While the home is beautiful, the first moment that we walked out the back door, we were in awe of the ocean beating against the cliffs. We had a high surf warning, and enjoyed a front seat to the waves splashing against the volcanic rock on the patio. It was a wonderful welcome, and instantly put us in awe of the beauty of the area. This home is wonderfully located between Volcanoes National park and Kona. However, getting to Hilo was not an inconvenience. Being in the southern area of the island, it was easy to make both sides of the island very attainable. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would highly recommend visiting Volcano National Park, Richardson’s Ocean Park and Rainbow Falls in Hilo, the Green Sand Beach, Black Sand Beach, and spending a day enjoying Kona as well. We rented a boat from Kona boat rental, and enjoyed snorkeling at Captain Cook and taking in the ocean. Couldn’t have been a more enjoyable experience and true getaway!! Thank you, Dan, for opening your home, and providing hospitality along the way.
