Maria's place is a truly wonderful. It's peaceful, close to nature and beautiful. She has done a wonderful job making the Ohana feel like a family home and not a rental. The kitchen is fully stocked, there are plenty of reading materials and the decorative accents make it feel like home. In addition, the space is very large and the pictures don't do the place justice. Moreover, Maria is a wealth of local knowledge about beaches, restaurants, shopping and hiking and is a great host. Next time I want to come to the big island and get out of the hustle and bustle of Kona, I'm coming to Maria's place.
