Summary: Positives: great sunrise view, quiet, lots of space, comfortable furniture, outdoor patio with view, outdoor shower was fun, very natural feel and a lot neat custom features, whoever built the home really put in a personal touch, easy walk to lava cliff overlookNegatives: when we booked a hot tub was pictured and mentioned in description, there was no hot tub. lack of air conditioning really had us worried when we first checked in because it was hot, but after opening all windows and turning on fans it was comfortable for the rest of the stay. There is a parking area between the ocean and the home where people walk by the ocean, it wasnt a big deal at all but did make it feel a little less privaye. Lastly the water, i didnt read the fine print in the check info and it said "home utilizes water catchment and is UV filtered for consumption but not recommended for drinking" i wish that had been on a physical sign by that water because we didnt see until check out. We all feel fine after drinking but still
