This was the perfect place to stay. It being very new it was also very clean. I was worried that we would have to book a place that was old and smelled old based on what I was finding for the cost. But shannons place was perfect. Every detail was met. We ate dinner in the village for two nights and then explored Hilo. This was the perfect meeting spot from our original place located in north Kona to then the volcano village, it is with in a drive to Hilo, and black sands beach and also green sands beach. Again his was a great place to stay!
