The Beach Shack is a Wonderful, cozy and convenient place to stay. I HIGHLY recommend staying here. And John's outstanding support and communication and his knowledge of the area and recommendations is second to none. The Beach Shack is immediately next to some of the best beaches in Hawaii and convenient to everything you want or need: groceries, restaurant, sites, the highway, and some amazing views of the volcanoes. And I'd be remiss if I did not say that I have never seen stars in the night sky like I could see from the Beach Shack. Please stay here!
