The place is amazing! Was exactly as it was listed, and felt super cozy, quiet, and secluded. Was a joy to come home to after a long day of hiking and sightseeing. Shannon provided all the essentials - lots of towels (including beach towels!), shampoo, conditioner, hair dryer, bug spray, microwave, mini fridge, coffee, dinnerware, home made baked goods (best banana bread I've ever had!), and fresh fruit! The bed was also incredibly comfy! She was a great host, giving us great suggestions for hikes, sights, and restaurants nearby. Since there isn't a kitchen sink Shannon washed all our dirty dishes for us each day. Location was perfect, it was close enough for day trips to Volcanoes National Park, the black sand beach, Mauna Kea, Akaka Falls, and Waipi'o Valley. Shannon was easy to get in touch with and quick to answer any questions we had. Checkin and out were both a breeze. Her family is super sweet and friendly, and her dog is adorable! We would highly recommend Shannon's place to anyone. Thanks for such a wonderful stay - we already miss it!
