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.
Laundry facilities available during the hours of 10 am-3 pm.

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!

the accommodation is spacious, with the kitchen and living room area being semi-outdoors, wich is very nice, given the climate on Hawaii. The bedroom offers a direct access to the garden and the pool. Just behind the pool you'll find the entrance to the amazing farm gardens with orchards full of tropical fruit, which we were allowed to gather.
Corinne was an excellent host. She went well beyond what can be expected and offered lots of tips for eating in Hilo and activities in the area. We'd love to come back.

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.

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 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.

Beautiful property in a superb location to explore on the Hilo side. Corinna was a wonderful host, treating us to a tour of the property, as well as fresh eggs and veggies. Sorry we weren't able to meet Norman. Maybe next time. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else.

Corinne is a kind and helpful host with a beautiful, comfortable home. She gave us a tour of her impressive property and let us sample some of the fruits and herbs that she grows behind the house. It's clear she put lots of hard work and love into building this place!
