The host wasverywelcoming, and had many resources for us to use - a cooler, guide books, snorkels, etc. Beautiful cottage and location!
Absolutely the bed VRBO location and Host that we have EVER delt with. The clean and serene cottage is AMAZING and Mary Rose Love is the best host hands down.!!
We absolutely loved our stay here, especially the lanai! The unit was very well equiped, clean, super comfy and a great location away from any crowds but easy enough to visit other areas of the island.
Exactly as described and Mary is a beautiful welcoming person. We will be back!
The cottage was perfect for my husband and I and a great spot for exploring the Hilo side of the The bed was the most comfortable of any bed we've had at a rental. Or host was helpful and her cottage has all of the little details to make a stay enjoyable. Thank you!helpfulisland.
Perfect place to stay. My husband and I loved being here. Very quiet and secluded. Mary Love is an exceptional host.
Nice place to stay if you don’t mind being away from the crowds and city life.
Really enjoyed my four nights here. Everything was perfect! Immaculate to say the least. Quiet and private. Stars out every morning, brilliant! Wasn’t expecting the weather, but it was stunning! Can’t wait to return! Washer and dryer very handy.
First and foremost we LOVED our host. She had thought of EVERYTHING you could need while you are staying at her property. I hesitate to review, because I’m afraid she’ll get so popular that we won’t be able to book again. This gem is quiet, clean, private- it’s an oasis. I hope that we get to return soon!
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!
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!
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
