Mongoose Manor is everything you could want in a stay on the Big Island. The hosts are fantastic- had gear for us to use and were genuinely invested in making our stay great. They are incredibly knowledgeable and eager to share recommendations. The tiny house is pristine and thoughtfully laid out. We enjoyed dining on the lanai for each breakfast and supper, with a view of the ocean. The lava landscape is ruggedly beautiful on its own, and their flower and plant nursery added so much more. We loved meeting Rikki, the mongoose! As for location- we loved that it was positioned to enjoy so many parts of the island. Most everything we wanted to see was within an hour’s drive. Overall, we can’t recommend this gorgeous place highly enough!
