Energy efficient home. Short distance to Uncle Robert's Wednesday night music and Sunday morning Maku`u farmer's market. Visit the quaint village of Pahoa for shops and restaurants. Within a 5 minute drive south on the Red Road is Kalapana, where the road ends at the lava fields. There you will find the Kalapana Café and Uncle Robert’s Kava Bar, as well as guided lava walks and a trail across the lava fields to the new beach.

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

Awesome Stay in Tropical Paradise
We had an amazing time staying at Marylove's cottage. It was so peaceful relaxing in the hammock in the evening and you could see so many stars since its a bit far out of town. Everything we could have needed was provided including snorkel equipment and beach chairs. We will be back!!

An oasis in paradise
Even better than advertised, Marlove has created a wonderful space in a beautiful setting. We had to make a special effort to leave and explore the rest of the island. Has all the amenities of home and we enjoyed cooking in the full kitchen.
There is no cell phone reception which maybe a concern to some. The wi-fi however is pretty robust.
Marylove is very responsive to any requests or concerns.
Definitely a 5 star property.

A Lovely Place
We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage was so nice and the host added so many thoughtful extras. It was a cool experience to be off-grid. The gazebo was so nice to relax in at the end of the day and it’s always great to have access to a washer & dryer. We thoroughly enjoyed the coquis singing at night. I think the biggest advantage of the location is that we probably wouldn’t have driven the Red Road had we stayed elsewhere, and it was lined with amazing scenery!
