This place was beyond beautiful. It felt like our own little slice of paradise. There is so much vegetation and flowers, and the frogs at night were such a wonderful treat. It really made you feel like you were in a completely different place. Yes, the frogs can get loud, but honestly we didn’t mind. It was all part of the amazing experience of staying in Hawaii surrounded by such beautiful nature and sounds. The only thing I would like to point out, is the bathroom. If you are traveling with somebody else, not that the walls to the bathroom do not touch the sealing. There is an opening at the very top, which for my husband and I was not a problem because we’ve lived a long time with each other and have become immune to our bathroom sounds, However I can see how it may pose a little problem to couples who are shy at going to the bathroom and having the other person listen. Our solution: play music on your phone while you are in there. Other than that little quirk, the cottage is absolutely perfect, the high ceilings make the place look so spacious, and Mary and rick have thought of every amenity you can think of. The place was so clean and so beautifully decorated. The location itself cannot be beat. So close to the airport, about 15 mins away from the Main Street of Kona. Hawaii is humid and hot, but their little cottage was always fresh and provided great relieve after a hot day. It was so private, we only saw rick once when he came to change our water, but he was only outside for about a minute. I cannot say enough good things about this place. And the pictures don’t do this place justice. It so beautiful that It was like a dream come true. We cannot wait to come back!!!
