Our family of 6 adults stayed at the Surf Rider house across from Richardson's Beach Park and had the trip of a lifetime. The house was clean, had everything we needed, and was very comfortable for our group. The house was the perfect place from which to explore the east side of the island, and we took several scenic drives, ate at great restaurants, went to Pahoa, and to VNP. But the best part was watching the waves and whales from the porch. A week wasn't long enough, and we hope to return soon. Richard was an excellent host!
