Mark’s place is a fantastic find on the Big Island. The location is perfectly set between Hilo and the southern parks and beaches. The town of Keaau is close by with everything you may need. Mark’s place is clean, comfortable, and close to what you may want to do depending on time and length of stay. The little touches such as local experiences, locations of interest, and last minute forgotten items such as water, shampoo, eating utensils, and cooler and beach chairs makes the stay even better. Heads up there are frogs that at night chirp some people love them or hate them. We enjoyed their sounds but Mark was kind enough to provide earplugs if needed. This spot was comfortable, clean, and a really great deal. Keep in mind that electricity and water on the Big Island is some of the most expensive in the entire United States. This spot is very green with solar and a water catchment system. Mark’s place is one of the few to provide fast WiFi, AC period and especially after dark, and lots of hot and high pressure water. That being said, be respectful and understanding of the limits of these systems, especially on a remote island location. Also keep an eye out for the adorable cats around the property, Pepper is very friendly and inquisitive, but likes to sun bathe in the driveway. We highly recommend Mark’s place for your next adventure on the beautiful Big Island. Thank you again Mark for a fantastic stay!
