Carries Cottage is an awesome place to explore the Kona region as well as the whole island. We stayed with Carrie and Mark for a week and enjoyed every second. The place is as nice as the pictures show it. What the pictures don't show is that we both slept like babies due to the few degrees cooler temperatures as well as the super comfy bed. We felt like staying with good friends and sooner or later will come back. Thanks Carrie and Mark for everything.
