We had a fabulous stay in Marlove's cottage. The place was very easy to find (we had entered the address on google maps). It was very close to the lava flows as Marylove indicated and we did see some real lava on a boat one morning (which Marylove recommended we do). One thing Marylove did not mention were the stars. You can see the Milky Way from her driveway. We could not stop looking at the sky the whole time! Marylove herself is very friendly and warm. She allowed us to use her snorkel gear, flippers, chairs and even her headlamp. The cottage was very comfortable and the room was air conditioned. She left us some items for breakfast and lunch (fruits, eggs, yogurt and the like) which we were very impressed by. She always responded quickly if we had a question or needed her recommendation for something. We definitely felt that Marylove embodied the aloha spirit that everyone talks about in Hawaii. We will certainly try to stay here again if and when we come back to the Big island!
