Loved the peace and privacy of Marylove's place. The place seemed larger in person than in the pics and pics don't do the place justice. The backyard was an oasis with the surrounding greenery, hammocks and swinging bench. It was a lovely touch for the gazebo bistro lights to come on automatically after sunset for 2 or 3 hours. Kitchen was fully equipped and knives were sharp. Very convenient to have the refrigerator and washer/dryer. The home was very comfortable and clean, wifi worked great and I was able to get some work done in the quite peacefulness of the place. At night I fell asleep to the sound of the rain and coqui frogs (which I love- but Marylove provides earplugs for those that don't). Loved the labels for the light switches which is thoughtful and important in a place you've never been. No need for air conditioning as the weather was very pleasant and fans are provided in the rooms. This place was a good home base to explore the Red Road area which is right outside the subdivision. Beautiful, stunning scenery that makes you think this is the Hawaii of 150 years ago. Black lava rock cliffs, azure blue ocean water and road lined with lush green tropical forest and vines. I found a few favorite spots to pull over and meditate. From this location I was also able to easily head out to the Pahoa area north of here for relatively easy hikes off the volcanic coastline to find clean pristine tide pools you can swim in thanks to a local AirBnB guide, Josh. This area does not feel touristy at all and I loved being able to find the back country roads to drive around and look at the rural properties. South of the subdivision is a small but pretty black sand Kehena Beach right off the street with tree tunnels and vines. I felt a lovely sense of peace and restoration in this area and having Marylove's nice cottage nearby added to that. There's also the Kalani Retreat up the road just north of the subdivision where you can purchase coffee with friendly staff to greet you. Much aloha and waves hello from people walking by in this area. Loved my stay as a solo traveler.
