We booked the cottage based on the photos and the 4.92-star guest reviews. My friend and I left with mixed feelings about our stay.
Pros:
1. Convenient location. The overall location was convenient as it was 15-min drive to Kona and Keauhuo for manta dives and dining.
2. Great value.
3. Enchanted mystic cottage decor
4. Sense of immersion in nature with a patio.
5. Nice clean shower with good water pressure.
Cons:
1. Though the house itself was clean, the two bedrooms, sheets, bath towels were musty probably from the damp air of the climate of the area. My friend and I are both sensitive to musty smells and had runny nose from the allergens in the air.
2. The house was decorated/setup in a way that made us feel that we were intruding into someone’s personal life.
3. We like the idea of farms and homestead but the property that the cottage on appeared to be work in progress with excavator on-site, areas covered with tarps, etc. It was a bit more “raw” than what the listing description imparted.
