This Tropical Garden Bungalow was just perfect for me during my two week stay. I was warmly greeted during mid-late evening hours to ensure my accommodations were all that I needed. The separate driveway and entrance is very private. It was very clean and the bathroom is quite spacious. Though the kitchen space is small, it does have everything needed to cook small meals. This bungalow is cozy and the gardens are just lovely. I felt like a local during my stay seeing chickens and turkeys roaming around the neighborhood at various times...it was very homey. Leo the handsome kitty only said "hello" once and then stayed in hiding. The location is 3 miles up the mountain from the Kona airport with a stunning ocean view, and was centrally located for the west side of the Big Island.
Maya is an exceptional artist and teacher, I took a watercolor lesson from her as we sat on the lanai while absorbing the beautiful view. I'm barely able to draw stick figures, but she was able to teach me the simple techniques, depth, and color for my flower painting--it actually looked liked a hibiscus! If you've ever wanted to learn how to paint, I highly reccomend taking a lesson from her!
