Mary's place was a fantastic find for us, particularly because we had to book it last-second b/c our original vacation house cancelled on us days before we arrived. In the end, that cancellation was a boon for us! Mary was incredibly hospitable and responsive to any questions we had or requests for recommendations. The house is also beautiful, wonderfully outfitted (top notch kitchen utensils and appliances), well laid out for our family of 5 (me, wife, two young daughters and an older daughter who appreciated the separate mini-apt downstairs), and the large deck was fantastic for having meals or simply enjoying the views. We would absolutely book it again if we are able the next time we come to Paihia!
