CLEAN and SERENE eco-friendly private cottage!

Private cottage, gorgeous 720 sq ft one bedroom, full kitchen, bathroom, spacious living/dining area. Covered lanai with gas grill, patio seating, covered gazebo area with hammocks and hanging chairs. Conveniently located right off famous coastline of the 'Red Road.' Nearby to prior lava flows and ocean adventures, community events, markets and the quaint village of Pahoa. This is absolutely the CLEANEST place you'll find for your Puna vacation!

Clean, private, quiet living while you explore the Puna District of Big Island from the Kalapana area: lava viewing, whale and dolphin watching during winter months, boat excursions, and much more! 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 Little Cottage
We stayed for 1 week on our honeymoon. The host provided everything we could possibly need to make our stay perfect. Geckos were so entertaining to watch running all over and coquis lulled us to sleep at night. One thing to note: be sure to grab some bug spray, the skeeters are vicious out on the lanai! Overall quite happy with the experience!

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!!

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!

Wonderful stay, perfect host
We stayed for three weeks and we starting to feel right at home. The ohana is private and well equipped for a long stay (we cooked every day), and the back porch is so tranquil and beautiful. Marylove is an amazing host, she really makes an effort for her guests and is very responsive. We can't wait to come back!

Fantastic vacation in Paradise!
We had such a wonderful time on our visit! The place was easy to find, very clean, private and beautiful. Mary was wonderful to work with and we had a great chat on the porch one evening. The AC kept the rooms cool, the fridge was cold and the bed was comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again! You can’t go wrong here!

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!

Cute cottage stay
We loved this private cottage stay. It had all the amenities of a house and was perfect for what we needed. We were gone from sunrise to sunset just traveling around the island. This was a good location to see the East part of the island. About 1 hour from Volcano National Park and the nearest town was in Pāhoa about 25 minutes away. Everything else is quite a drive but it’s all beautiful.

A fantastic week
The ONLY negative is it's off the beaten path a bit. Now that's out of the way, everything else is fantastic. The place is exactly as pictured; quiet, cozy, beautiful; and has many little touches that let you know you rented from a person and not a company- like band-aids and sunscreen and more than the typical assortment of cooking utensils. We loved the place.

Incredible, peaceful hideaway
I cannot gush enough about how amazing this place is. Located in a gorgeous part of the Puna district, it is tucked away so you feel like you're in your own private little world. Marylove has thought of literally everything you'll need during your stay. The place itself is amazingly beautiful with a magical backyard where you can relax in a hammock under an awning. It's only a short drive into Pahoa or a little further drive from Hilo. I would definitely recommend this place and would love to come back in the future!

Comfortable- convenient location
Mary’s apartment was clean, comfortable and well-equipped. A/C worked well. The neighbourhood was quiet and felt secure. The location in Puna in the southeast was convenient for visiting Volcanoes National Park, and there were some interesting local attractions, including Kahena Black Sand beach. Mary made herself available for travel advice etc. I wouldn’t hesitate to return.

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.

Great property close to the sites
My Wife and I stayed here using it as a jumping off point for day trips to the volcano NP and Hilo sites such as waterfalls and botanical gardens. It was a beautiful property well stocked with full kitchen, AC and comfortable furniture. The owner Mary was very nice and helpful with any questions about the area or concerns we had. The area is quiet with great relaxation potential even a nice blacksand beach near by. The NP and Hilo sites were easy travel and only 30-45 minutes away. Which is good considering the size of the island. My wife and I loved the stay especially having our morning coffee on the swing out back. I highly recommend this property.

You get your very own patio/garden, including a hammock, double swinging chair, and a hanging basket chair (my favorite)! Thanks, Mary Love Note: Oops! Please ignore note about Kalaheo Cafe! That was on Kauai! BUT, we did love Heavenly Hawaiian Coffee, a small plantation in Kona!

This was a beautiful place to experience Hawaii for the first time!
This property was absolutely perfect! Beautiful outdoor area to relax in. Dark night sky to stargaze. Close walk to the water. This was our first time to Hawaii and it was just lovely. Plenty of room for the two of us. The meditation labyrinth was very peaceful. Even though the frogs at night are a bit loud, I had no problem falling asleep without ear plugs. There was a large amount of beach gear available to use. Mary was very attentive and so accommodating. When we come back to the big island, we will absolutely be staying at this property! Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!
