Marylove's place in Pahoa is a dream come true. All of the pictures are accurate but none can capture what it is like to be in the space -- it truly is as peaceful and serene as it looks. As others have said, the furniture is all of the highest quality and incredibly comfortable. The bed is to die for! I would absolutely love to sleep in that bed every night for the rest of my life. I also wanted to live in the hammock and back yard area, and the living room is super relaxing, as well. It's also a real treat to use the kitchen because the kitchen is full size, the pots and pans and plates are high quality, and the stove is a well-functioning, full size gas range. It's all just very comfortable and easy to live in. Personally, I had some trouble finding the nearby beach but maybe that is somewhat by design, because it's kind of a hidden gem. Be aware that it is clothing optional, if that is going to upset you, and also that it requires a 5 minute trek down some steep and rocky terrain. It wouldn't be appropriate for people who are particularly shaky on their feet. I rated the location as 4 stars only because I'm not sure it's appropriate for every type of traveler. I think this would be an ideal spot to spend a month (or six!) while working from home or getting away from it all, or as a great spot to land for a few days while checking out the volcanoes nearby. I'm not sure that it would be great for families who are simply looking for a Hawaiian beach vacation. Personally, I loved it and I very much hope to visit again.
