We had a great time staying at Mark's that we wished we were staying more than one night! We arrived very late due to our flight and Mark left the light on in our room (visible from the road) as a nice gesture - we greatly appreciated this. He even offered us fresh papaya! Mark is a great host who cares about his family and also advised us on many things to do and see on the Big Island.
Our room was as pictured and spacious, quiet, and comfortable with a great view. Very clean with fresh towels. The bathroom is renovated and had a cool rain shower head. The house is in a great location close to Kailua-Kona downtown and the Walmart/Safeway and coffee farms so really easy to get anywhere.
