We loved our more than two week stay at Carrie’s Cottage! The space is bright, comfy, private and tastefully decorated and equipped with the sort of thoughtful details that made it feel immediately like our tropical home. Our typical daily routine started with morning coffee on the patio watching the birdlife with Belle the cat (whom we were tempted to kidnap) and ended with our retreat from the seaside heat to a refreshing sleep in the cool breezy comfort of the slopes above Kona. Carrie and Mark take justifiable pride in offering what must be among the finest accommodations for two people in the Kona area. We’ve stayed in various places on previous visits to the Big Island, and have finally found the place to which we plan to return.
