Mark & Sharon are who I wanna be when I grow up! This was my first Air bnb experience and it was absolutely the best lodging experience in my life! They were so warm and inviting, yet laid back and genuinely caring and helpful. Sharon is such a treasure and kind soul I was instantly blown away. Mark gave me great tips and walked me through some maps before my day out on the chain of craters road. They even insisted I visit a local hot spot one night due to my fortuitous timing and it was such a treat! I will cherish the memories of my time there forever.
The cottage was bright and clean and exactly what I needed. Every detail was thought of, anything you could need, without luxury but very much full of comfort. Their property is gorgeous with views of lush greenery and even the coast. The patio is perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. The location is just ten minutes from town. Surf Break Cafe has excellent espresso. Fun shops and things to do. They called me out one night to see a big cruise ship all lit up on the bay (beautiful!). The following day they insisted I borrow their binoculars for the volcano. When I say they care, they honestly do care! It's incredibly refreshing. I'm a single, introverted, woman in her 40's and it was my first solo vacation. I was very nervous but very quickly relaxed after meeting Mark & Sharon.
