Shane & Danni were the most gracious hosts we could ever ask for. From our communications prior to arriving until after we left, they made us feel like we were old buddies and friends for life. Our experience on the Big Island wouldn't have been the same if it weren't for all of the tips and suggestions we received from both of them. This was a home away from home for us and we feel so blessed to have found it. As for the living space, it's all as listed with unexpected amenities. With our group of 8 there was never a line for a bathroom as one is set up with a sink and vanity separated by a door, so it was like having 3 bathrooms. Here is a list of benefits: The apt. was immaculately clean & spacious, lots of windows and sliders with ceiling fans to keep it cool day and night, a great neighborhood, yard & view, nearby local market and gas, centrally located to several amazing beaches and a reasonable drive to Mauna Kea, Kona Airport, Kona, Mac Nut Factory, Coffee Farm, just to list a few. We planned to view the lava by driving 2 hours in the middle of the night to get there before dawn (so it wasn't in the heat of the day), then walk the 4.25 miles each way from where the car was parked but Shane saved us from that not so great plan. He suggested that we leave later in the afternoon and arrive 1 hour before dusk, then rent bikes & ride to the lava....which made for an excellent viewing time, and no sleepless nights. It took us a fraction of the time to get to the lava from our car and we weren't exhausted. There were several other amazing ways Shane and Danni helped make our Big Island adventure unforgettable. The blue book and folder they have handy were also a huge help and fun to read. A Big Mahalo!
