MERMAID RETREAT

The farm is located on the beautiful Hamakua coast with views of the ocean and Mauna Kea mountain. We do not need air conditioning as we get the cool mountain air at night. You will receive a tour of the 12+ acres and taste the exotic fruits when they are in season..
I clean very thoroughly between guest stays (even before COVID happened).
There's a village farmers market/food share down the hill from us on Tuesday afternoons from 3-6pm. You will find local residents selling fruits, veggies, flowers, art-work, crafts, baked goods, and hot food (Thai, Caribbean).
The entire downstairs of our home is for guest use (over 1,600 square feet). It boasts a large bedroom with a King-sized Casper bed with a 1/2 bath. A few feet away is the shower and a second toilet. The kitchen has a full range stove with oven, full-size refrigerator, French press for coffee, and basic cooking/baking supplies, .
Fast Wi-Fi available. Bedroom and tv/kitchen-dining room open to outdoor pool area.

We would stay here again without hesitation
My fiance and I spent three nights at the Mermaid Sanctuary. We found the accomodations very much to our liking, super spacious and very unique when comparing this property to a hotel or condo. Definitely more personality than the average night's stay away from home. Our hostess was very good about communicating with us if something out of the ordinary happened (the automatic gate went out of order for a brief bit). We are both fussy but we would recommend the property and intend to stay again. Thanks!

Corinne warmly welcomed us into her place and showed us around when we got there after dark. She had many recommendations for local restaurants and sight-seeing, which we were very appreciative of. She has a beautiful property that lies in a “rainforest like” antmosphere and every morning we woke up to the sounds of a variety of birds and it was so peaceful. She gave us a tour of her property, telling us about the varieties of fruit that grow behind her place and sharing some of that fruit with us as well. Corinne is very knowledgeable on the culture and history of Hawaii, as well as the unique geological features the island has to offer. Staying with Corinne felt like staying with family and she was always up for conversations about anything. She went over and beyond in making us feel welcome and took it upon herself to show us some of the hidden gems the area has to offer. We will always remember our rejuvenating experience staying at Corinne’s on our big island holiday.

What a pleasure! If our plans had been different, we’d have stayed here the entire time! It’s just what the doctor ordered, and then some - idyllic surroundings and plenty of room, not only in our unit but also on the property. Corinne has thought of pretty much everything, including nice details like plush towels, and she’s a very pleasant person. This North Hilo location is an easy drive to popular places, and a relatively comfortable distance to Waimea or Waikoloa. We would definitely stay here again, and can heartily recommend it to easygoing travelers who are looking for novel accommodations.

Amazing introduction to the authentic Hawaii
Corinne and Norman were fantastic hosts. The place was large and well appointed. We got in late and appreciated the thoughtfulness of some coffee and cream in the fridge for the next morning . The real bonus here is Corinne and Norman. They were a font of information, providing wonderful insights about the vegetation on the island as we walked around her farm site, hearing from Norman about special hidden gems that only the locals know about, and getting the low down on what it really takes to live on the island. We will stay here again and certainly recommend to friends.

A remarkable place
A very spacious accommodation on a farm with acres of fruit trees. Warm, hospitable hosts. Scenic countryside at a bit of elevation from the coast, so there are cool breezes in the evening. There is a full kitchen with all the conveniences you could want AND an outdoor pool. Highly recommended.
