Shelly and Tom were great hosts! They had everything we needed to make our first visit to the Big Island convenient and memorable. We loved waking up and seeing the view of the sunrise from their lanai, running down to Ali'i drive to the nearest beaches (two within two miles) and walking downtown to have a meal. We did rent a car the second day and found the neighborhood a very safe place to park and walk at night. The room was also very clean and comfortable and had all of the toiletries we would need. I'm giving this 5 stars because we got exactly what we signed up for PLUS other things we didn't have to purchase - Shelly provided a cooler, beach towels, snorkeling equipment and sunblock! Overall, we were so pleased with this deal and with our kind hosts!
