Staying at Tom & Shelly's place was a highlight of our trip on big island. We arrived at sunset, the view from their lanai is amazing, and their cheerful & content attitude of life was contagious. They said they'd like us to feel at home; when we were there, we were their housemates. We truly felt at home and appreciated the conversations we had with them. I believe they are running this airbnb out of love for people, rather than just for some passive income.
