Marsha's unit near Pahoa was absolutely perfect for us! We loved the location -- not too far away from Hilo, but far enough away that we felt like we were staying in the countryside just a little. Her directions were perfect, and we found the place even later at night when we arrived.
The kitchen is ideal if you like to cook (like we do) -- we enjoy going to the local farmers' and supermarkets and prepping some easy meals for ourselves. The KTA in Hilo is great, as is the Island Naturals market in Pahoa and the Foodland in Kea'au. Marsha's (charcoal) barbecue works great. (The Big Island is naturally kind of damp, so plan for a little more time to get your barbecue properly lit and to temperature.)
There is a washer and dryer for laundry in the unit, which worked great -- we got most of our laundry dry on the line outside, but at the end of the day we had a few things that were still damp, and we popped them in the dryer for a few minutes in the evening.
Michelle and I absolutely *loved* this location, and we hope someday we can return. Thanks, Marsha!
