Marcus was a friendly and knowledge host. The house location was great - very close to the airport. I loved the houses little technology touches like the ambient lighting sound system and charging cables for phones in all rooms. The multiple rooms and bathrooms and two masters was perfect for three couples. I think four couples even would have worked. The driveway was even great to accommodate three cars. Ok now the not as great things which are really minor and I would think any place on the Big Island is going to have these issues. One is that there are a lot of bugs that get into the house. Millipedes, geikos and cockroaches. Second is to be sure and be ready for Marcus's disclaimer that there is no air conditioning. The place got very hot and humid in our visit in September. Lastly pay attention to Marcus's disclaimer that you will owe more money when you get there as you will have to pay him separate for taxes and cleaning fee. I glossed over that totally my fault as he explained it. Anyway minor things all things considered. You aren't paying for a five star hotel for a reason right. shouldbt expect air conditioning or zero bugs I guess. All in all great place and we had a great time.
