Mary’s guest house is located in a beautiful cloud forest. It is private and quiet, a wonderful retreat after an active day seeing the sights. The guest house is comfortable and attractively decorated. Even though there is no stove or oven we were able to cook using a hot plate located beneath the counter. There’s a microwave as well. Mary provides slippers and flip flops for guests as well as beach items and snorkeling equipment. The cloud forest is much cooler than it is down by the beaches so you may want to bring some warmer clothes for early morning and evening. Be sure to step outside and look up at the stars for they are magnificent up that high above the lights nearer Kona. The plants surrounding the area are magnificent as well. We were able to step outside our front door and pick up avacados from the tree right there. Sooo good! If you enjoy birds you can have a great time identifying different species and songs. Staying at Mary’s place was a wonderful addition to our vacation.
