I wholeheartedly recommend you stay at Dan's. He was the perfect host. Met us on arrival, gave us all information needed was available as needed but otherwise gave us our own space. His home and gardens were beautiful and the view rivaled only by 5 star resorts. The kitchen for the rental units is out in the garden which was lovely. There is a microwave and coffee maker in the room but I don't know why one would choose to have dinner anywhere other than the lovely kitchen garden. There is a local produce stand in Keaau near the McDonalds, otherwise get your other provisions at the Safeway on the way down from Hilo.
