Summary: This property is a charming (not “luxury” in any way) home, located in a humble community/town, with an incredibly unique & beautiful view. There is literally an abandoned, boarded up home next door which made me feel very uneasy safety wise. However, the home is equipped with an alarm & we did not end up having any issues safety wise. My kids enjoyed the fun pool and I enjoyed the spa at night while star gazing and listening to the crashing waves (lots of bugs though so bring bug spray). The home upon entering was pretty humid/hot no central AC). Each room had a portable A/C unit that worked well but was noisy. The house was clean with the exception of all the windows which could benefit from a good professional cleaning since the highlight of this property is without a doubt the view. The water heater stoped working on our last day but Terry was quick to respond when I reached out and fixed it right away. He was responsive to a few other questions/concerns we had which we appreciated. Also, the host gave some great suggestions, our favorites were the Volcano National Park & the Botanical Gardens (must-dos for sure)! This location requires a lot of driving so make sure to rent a car. My husband/I enjoyed walking out on the volcano cliff and taking in all the beauty and incredible ocean energy. We took some amazing pictures and while it wasn’t the most ideal property for our family, we definitely made some great memories and obviously it’s been great for many others!
