Our stay at Marcia's place was just perfect. It is a great "base" camp, a lovely studio cottage with absolutely everything. From fresh cut foliage in vases, water chilling in the fridge, to granola bars and coffee, bikes, bbq and outdoor table, snorkeling gear, picnic table, hot tub, extra towels and sheets for a pull out couch. My goodness, she couldn't have done more to make us feel more welcome and taken care of. She lives in her own house on the property so is near by if needed. She is upfront about no AC but we did not need it as there is a ceiling fan and floor fan. It is a short drive to Pahoa town where there are a number of good places to eat and a grocery store if you want to cook at home. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.
