We had an amazing stay at Mary's cottage. First of all, we were able to do an early check-in, which was super nice since we had an early flight. The cottage is an easy drive from the Kona airport.
It feels secluded and is surrounded by beautiful plants and trees. It's a little private oasis. In the morning, we enjoyed having our coffee on the front porch while listening to the birds wake up. We also enjoyed feeding the neighborhood pheasant family when they came through - Mary left food for them that we could scatter.
The sounds of the jungle at night led us out to the most beautiful view of the sky. This is probably one of the most amazing places for stargazing! I don't even remember seeing that many stars ever. We also just happened to be able to view the Geminids meteor shower! Within a matter of minutes, we saw 7 meteors all from the back deck!
The cottage was very comfortable and was equipped with everything we needed. There was even beach equipment available.
