A great place like Daniel's house deserves a all 5-star recommendation! I recently had a family vacation (group of 4) to the big island & spent 4 days on the east side of the island. I had several issues with a few initial bookings and finally I found Daniel's house at last minute. I was a bit hesitant in the beginning based on only 1 existing review, but our experience was so great that I felt very lucky to have chosen to stay there.

As the island is indeed big and our itinerary was a bit tight, location was very important to us. Daniel's house was in a great spot - a beautiful bungalow located on a quiet street with reasonable driving distance to all attractions we explored (i.e. the volcano national park, Puna beaches & Hilo town). It's a fully functional house so we truly felt just like home. Both bedrooms were spacious with comfortable beds. The kitchen was equipped with everything we could ask for so we could make breakfast or heat up leftover food; In fact, if you are staying longer, it'll be even better - there is a full rack of different spices for any creative chef. We loved everything there - mom was happy to have the kettle for her morning tea and laundry facilities for everybody's wet clothes ; dad enjoyed his 2-block morning walk to the breathtaking shoreline as well as the king-size bed and the hammock chair for his recharging process, my boyfriend & I spent great deal of time reading Daniel's books at night and learnt a lot about the history and changes happened on the island. That copy of <i memory.
