Volcano Vacation Rental house

Volcano Village: The town of Volcano, Hawaii is just a few minutes from the vacation house. The charming town has a few markets, a gas station, a post office, even a skate park and is home to a Thai restaurant, the Lava Rock Cafe, Kiawe Kitchen and the Kilauea Lodge Restaurant. A farmer's market with fresh produce, hot coffee, pastries and breakfast sandwiches open every Sunday morning, from 6:30-9 a.m.

Mauna Loa Scenic Road: Aside from the many hiking trails in Volcanoes National Park, there's also nearby Mauna Loa Scenic Road leads to tree molds created when hot lava hardened around trees. There's also Kipuka Puaulu (Bird Park), a 30-minute hike through old growth forest surrounded by newer lava flows. At the end of the scenic road is a trail head to Mauna Loa Trail, the place to start a multi-day trek to ascend the summit. South of the park entrance near mile marker 38 is the Ka'u Desert Trail, which lead to footprints, most created during a 1790 explosion and a few from an earlier explosion in the 1500s.

Big Island sights nearby: There are many exotic treasures to see in every direction by driving 30-45 minutes. Punaluu Black Sand Beach is popular with sea turtles seen swimming and resting onshore. Going another direction you'll find volcanically heated tide pools. There’s great snorkeling in this area and on the way there is the Lava Tree State Park, which has several tree molds. Keep going around the flank of the mountain if you'd like to see where the lava is currently entering the ocean.

Golf: Volcano Golf & Country Club is just a few minutes away at a 4,200 foot elevation. The Big Island's oldest golf course, it dates back to the 1920s. The layout has stunning mountain views. You may see wild turkeys, Nene geese and Hawaiian hawks. Due to the elevation, expect extra distance on well-struck shots. The back 9 has several marvelous holes and one of Hawaii's best par-5s at the 17th hole. Designed by Arthur Jack Snyder. A round of golf is about $63. Pele's restaurant is open for breakfast and lunch seven days a week. Clubs are available for rent, as are gas and electric carts.
