Shelly and Tom are very welcome and friendly -- their home is your home. We heard about Hawaiian friendly culture and spirit and we definitely felt it while staying at their place. It's a very welcome and kind place. An awesome location with breathtaking views and we enjoyed waking up listening to birds singing in the morning. We appreciate they shared beach gear with us and gave us tips on beaches around Kona. If we were to come back to Big Island we would definitely stay at their place again!
