Whaw ! If you want to go on the Big Island, you have to stay in This house. The location is perfect if you want to access easily all the places of the island from one location, except the very south ( but not the most important part), and it's really not far from some of the best beaches of the island. The welcome from Shane and the Family was perfect :warm and friendly, very useful but not intrusive at all. Shane was very reactive to our questions. The House itself is much better than what you see on the photographs : more upscale, super comfortable, a looooot of place, perfectly clean, a loooot of equipments (really all you could need : games, books, extensive beach equipements, all what you could need in a kitchen or in a bathroom, and i forgot a lot of things ).. We really enjoyed our week in this house and warmly recommend it to anyone.
