We already miss the sounds of the breaking waves
Location and ocean view was FANTASTIC. While it's not a 5-star/ $1000 per night hotel, it has everything you would need/ expect from an excellent beach house. We were only a group of 2, but the house easily could accommodate 6 people. Great jumping off point to see sites on this side of the island (Hilo, Volcano, towns that existed a few years ago but then were taken by lava). Don't miss Uncle Robert's on Wednesday night with other locals. It was a great time. Also, the Lava Flow museum in Pahoa was really interesting and the local guide there explained a lot about how the lava impacted her life.

Awesome view
The house was in an amazing place on the ocean overlooking about 30 feet of lava into the ocean. The waves crashing put us to sleep in comfortable beds. The neighborhood was nice and restaurants were close. Liv and Bob had neighborhood suggestions for restaurant and activities. We went to their neighborhood black beach and it was awesome. The kitchen had much more than you could ask for. I would love to revisit this place and stay in this house again!

Great Family Stay
We enjoyed our time watching the waves crashing on the shore. They lulled most of us to sleep each night.
Home was comfortable & well loved. Neighbourhood was peaceful.

Great place and great location!
The condo is very nice. Very clean, great amenities and the host focuses on the details to make your stay very comfortable with all you would hope for in a vacation rental. 50 yards to the beach and 75 yards to a great restaurant for happy hour, food and outdoor seating to take in the sunset. I highly recommend this.

Absolutely Wonderful!
The location was perfect! We chose it since our cousins were only 20 minutes away and could not have been happier.
The vibe was incredible listening to the ocean and everything was very serene and peaceful.
The house was well-stocked and clean.
We are already talking about our next visit!

The waves
It was our first time to Big Island and wanted to get as much in as possible. The house was sweet, the waves crashing on the lava rocks was mesmerizing, the house was clean, a bit older than expected but it was clean, neat and tidy.
The only thing was we didn’t realize the amount of time it would take to get to Volcano National Park and the amount of time you would spend driving around it. Overall we had a wonderful time in the evenings playing card games and listening to the waves.

Except ocean view nothing is as expected
We enjoyed the ocean view from house. The other details shown in the listing does not match the expectations. This house is old with bare minimum amenities. You will have to travel minimum 30 mins one way to access local attractions and towns.
