Dani and David's place is beautiful and the location is unbelievable - literally steps from the shore! With two full baths and two bedrooms, the space is great for a family. We were traveling with my wife's sister and her husband and it worked wonderfully for us. Dani was in touch every day to see if there was anything she could do to make our stay better, and she was very responsive if I had a question. She directed us to a great beach for snorkeling, Kahalui, about 10 minutes away. It opens at seven - get there early if you want to avoid crowds. She also suggested snorkeling right off shore from their building. I did that too and it was very cool. Deeper water but loads of fish and no crowds; I wish I'd done that earlier. If you have a car you should definitely see Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. It's a 2 hour drive but worth it. Seeing how volcanic activity actually formed the islands was, for me, a real highlight and unforgettable part of the trip. Miles and miles of desolate lava fields, craters and other evidence of eruptions. I don't know what else to say. I highly recommend Dani and David's place as your home base on the Big Island.
