We were greeted by Shane and Buddy, his delightful and very knowledgeable son, as we pulled up. We had the spacious ground-level of their modern home - complete with all the snorkeling and beach gear you can imagine using - at the best beaches in Hawaii that are only a short drive down the hill.

There are a couple of restaurants and an excellent supermarket (BTK) in the village. We had a terrific B-B-Q and watched the sun go down our first night on the Big Island. You are ideally placed to do the north of the island as well. (Ice cream in Hawi!!)

To cap it all off, Shane was able to juggle his flying rota so we could be with him on a flight along the coast. The crown on a wonderful three days with Shane and his family. (We met Danni at the heliport after our flight.)

A perfect stay in every way. The best of our 7 AirB&Bs on Oahu and Hawaii by far. Will certainly be back!
