Dan's place is a quiet piece of paradise. The location was ideal for us to explore the east side of the big island, while still being in a quiet location with a spectacular view of Hawaiian foliage and of course, the ocean. The bed was spacious and comfortable and the shower was the perfect amount of indoor/outdoor. The full kitchen is a nice amenity, though admittedly we ate out more often than not. Dan was really hospitable and suggested a lot of places for us to visit. The black sand beach nearby is a quick walk. The farmer's market down the road on Wednesday nights is a must-go. The other (newest) black sand beach is a quick 15-minute drive. Look at Dan's guidebook for other things to do in the area!
