Quiet area, beautiful views of the stars, we even got to see the glow of the volcano eruption in the not too far distance. An air mattress was provided in the closet which we preferred to sleep on over the pull out couch. It was perfect for us to come to the island, hit a grocery store, cook some meals and relax at night and explore the island during the day. Solar and water worked great for our family of 4\. This stay made our trip so much more unique and special as our first time on the island! ##### Rylee D. Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2026 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### John and Chris B. 16 Mar 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We easily found this gem of a place. It was very cozy place to stay during the large Kona storm. It was close to the Volcano Park where we wanted to go visit.The hists were vwry easy to talk with and responded quickly when we had a question.I recommend this place! ##### John and Chris B.
