CLEAN and SERENE eco-friendly private cottage!

ML was an amazing host. Beautiful location; the suite was well stocked with everything we needed. Super comfy bed.Everything fabulous

Mary Rose’s place is truly special. The land itself has a peaceful, grounded energy, and Mary Rose is a thoughtful and caring host who made us feel very welcome. The space is very clean and comfortable, with thoughtful touches throughout, and a wonderful selection of books about Hawaii. You’ll be hard pressed to find something Mary Rose hasn’t already thought of in this space. Washer and dryer are outside under cover and very convenient. The outdoor area is a beautiful way to spend your evening on the hammock, or one of the swings. Even an under cover table you can enjoy an afternoon rainstorm.The location is beautiful and feels deeply connected to the island. If you’re looking for a place to slow down, unplug, and experience Hawaii beyond the typical tourist stay, this is it.We headed home rested, relaxed and recharged. We will absolutely stay again!

When I stay in places like this it makes me wonder why anyone would ever want to stay in a hotel . Mary Rose has created a lovely piece of paradise for all who stay with her. The entire backyard is yours to relax in! I particularly enjoyed reading in the swing.The bed is very comfortable and having a washer and dryer available to use was huge for us as we were running out of clean clothes to wear after being on the island for 2 weeks. The pictures do not do this space justice- it is a very large comfortable space! We truly enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to stay in this area!

We really enjoyed the stay, the place was well furnished and decorated tastefully. It also included many appliances and thoughtful additions that made it an easy place to stay.We had one issue with the key not working to lock/unlock the place - once our host was informed she was on it and had it handled immediately. Great response.

The host wasverywelcoming, and had many resources for us to use - a cooler, guide books, snorkels, etc. Beautiful cottage and location!

Absolutely the bed VRBO location and Host that we have EVER delt with. The clean and serene cottage is AMAZING and Mary Rose Love is the best host hands down.!!

We absolutely loved our stay here, especially the lanai! The unit was very well equiped, clean, super comfy and a great location away from any crowds but easy enough to visit other areas of the island.

Exactly as described and Mary is a beautiful welcoming person. We will be back!

The cottage was perfect for my husband and I and a great spot for exploring the Hilo side of the The bed was the most comfortable of any bed we've had at a rental. Or host was helpful and her cottage has all of the little details to make a stay enjoyable. Thank you!helpfulisland.

Perfect place to stay. My husband and I loved being here. Very quiet and secluded. Mary Love is an exceptional host.

Nice place to stay if you don’t mind being away from the crowds and city life.

Really enjoyed my four nights here. Everything was perfect! Immaculate to say the least. Quiet and private. Stars out every morning, brilliant! Wasn’t expecting the weather, but it was stunning! Can’t wait to return! Washer and dryer very handy.
