Beautiful Pahoa

We loved our three weeks on the Big Island Hawaii. Marylove is a wonderful person and a lovely host. We scoured this side of the island and to us the only drawback was it’s distance. It just made for extra driving. Thank you Marylove!

Great little slice of paradise!

Clean, calm, well equipped with a great hostess! We prefer to be in nature than in the middle of an urban jungle! This is like an oasis in the middle of a tropical island! MaryLove has done a great job in decorating and equipping this little cottage! It's at the back of her house yet completely separate and private! The backyard is all yours and a joy to use with chairs, a swing, a hammock and a bbq! We stayed here for 1 month and had most of our meals there without missing anything in terms of equipment or utensils! One morning the drip coffee machine decided to quit on us. Fortunately there's also a french press, so we didn't miss our morning coffees! I let MaryLove know via text and by the time we came back in the afternoon there was a brand new coffee machine with a stack of coffee filters by the door! She really wants her guest to enjoy the experience and takes pride in her little slice of paradise! Yes you do need a car, but we didn't mind the drive to Pahoa or Hilo and the cottage is well worth the drive! We highly recommend it for short or longer stays! Thank you MaryLove and hope to see you and Devin sometime in the near future! Michel and Lucie xxoo
