Marla's place is in a great location and has plenty of room and is well appointed for all the things you'll need for a fantastic stay on the Big Island. We had a few maintenance issues, which were being addressed while we were there and everyone we encountered during our stay were the right combination of professionalism and local charm. The mattresses are firm, so if you like that (we do), you'll love this place! Finally, no need to go look for a location to enjoy stunning Hawaiian sunsets as the lanai is the perfect place to sit back and enjoy the show!
