Shane’s house was perfect for me and my family in our January 2021 trip to the Big Island. His house in Waikoloa Village is close to the most amazing beaches on the island. We recommend Beach 49, Hapuna, Beach 69, Waikoloa in that order. There are many more but those are the ones we visited. Beach 49 is a beautiful public beach stewarded by the Mauna Lani Resort. Do not miss this beach! Big beautiful waves, black sand, luxury gated access and facilities, and world class snorkeling around the rocks and reef. The house is not far from the highway to Hilo and Mauna Kea stargazing. We are a big family and we had plenty of rooms and space. Comfortable, clean beds. We were able to cook dinners in the evenings and eat on the back patio with fresh air and good weather. There is a grocery store about a mile away. We also did a helicopter tour with Shane which was an incredible experience we will never forget. Thank you Shane for hosting us in your beautiful home. We hope to return some day!
