Ignore the fact that it has "shack" in the name. It is a very well kept guest house, with gorgeous floors, and a great layout. You'll sit on the porch and enjoy breakfast, sit around the firepit at night, or just spend some cuddle time indoors in the cool evenings. I hooked my laptop (HDMI) to the big TV and we watched Netflix after a day at the beach. The farm setting is swarming with Macadamia Nut trees, fresh fruit of all kinds, and the most gorgeous flowers you will ever see.

It was so close to the City of Refuge I spent just about every morning there. Easily the best snorkel spot on the big island. Just a few miles north is Kona if you need anything, but an easy walk up the driveway takes you to a local grocery story with lots of supplies AND a local food joint call Guy's Grinds which is delicious and affordable.

Our hosts were helpful, communicative, and very willing to share info with us about attractions and beaches.

My vacation was perfect. Thanks KELLY & KIM!
