Mark and Carrie are wonderful hosts! The cottage is cute and perfect for a stay in the Kona area! The description is accurate and the cottage was even better than described. It's private and surrounded by beautiful and lush gardens and fruit trees. Mark and Carrie have pets (two little pups that I hope you get to meet!) and chickens that sometimes roam the yard. they truly make you feel at home!

The location is fantastic and convenient to the Kona area and surrounding towns. You should definitely rent a car and Mark and Carrie even include a convenient place to park.

There are great food options - our favorites were Broke Da Mouth Grindz, Da Poke Shack, and The Coffee Shack. This cottage was a wonderful place to call home while we were in Kona and we would highly recommend it to someone who wants a more authentic and non-resort Big Island experience. Thank you Mark and Carrie for opening your home to us!
