Shane's place was great for a weeklong family Christmas. We had six adults and fit nicely, making the place feel like home quite quickly. Highlights were - outdoor dining table, beach gear and large entry way, dish washer, two showers, laundry, and all the things you need in the kitchen and even some random things like Aloe and hydrogen peroxide that came in handy. We didn't have kids with us but there were a lot of books and movies that they would have enjoyed. While Shane's place is not walking distance to a beach or store, it was only a 5 minute drive to the store and 15 minute drive to the beach which worked for us. It was also nice to arrive home to a quiet place in a neighborhood over a crowded or touristy area. Shane was also super responsive to messages and even introduced himself when we got in the first night quite late. A great week on the Big Island!
