This was my second time visiting Tom and his cute dog. Tom really is a SUPER host! He wants to make your stay as perfect as possible. The view from the patio is magnificent. The environment of Waikoloa Village is amazing with big fields of lava. Beautiful beaches nearby. I went to Hapuna Beach, go there. And for viewing Manta Rays: go to Mauna Kea resort. There is a cliff from where you can see them dancing in the water.....
