During our short stay, Mary's communication was excellent and the unit is clean and convenient. One can walk through the parking lot to a rock beach with a view of the ocean and downtown shopping and restaurants are a 10-15 minute walk north. There is a beautiful small white sand beach (at least at this time of year) at Kua Bay which is a short drive north and larger more well known beaches further north at Hapuna and Mauna Kea. If you are planning a short stay, the cleaning fee on Mary's place makes it relatively more expensive than it first appears and when you arrive there is an instruction sheet which requires, among other things, that one takes out the trash and washes the towels prior to departure. In light of the cleaning fee and that I have not seen this at the many Airbnb residences I've stayed at in the US and Europe, I think that requirement should have appeared in "House Rules".
