We found Marilyn’s exquisite “Tiny House” designed for both function & beauty. Really does not feel “tiny” and the lovely travertine floors felt cool to my feet and were so quiet to walk upon that it was easy to get up before my mate, go upstairs & enjoy some of the fresh island fruit, Kona coffee and flowers she placed there for us before our arrival, with out waking my mate. The house has clean lines combined with high ceilings, multiple choices in surround lighting, configured with super comfortable modern furniture design & open space, beautiful artwork, ceiling fans, wifi, cable tv, surrounded by tropical trees & plants which made this a truly luxurious abode for us. It also was immaculately clean, every corner! The kitchen fully equipped, bathroom amenities, beach towels & chairs to use. The “Tiny House” is offset to Marilyn’s home & provided complete privacy for us with it’s own yard edged with tropical flowers and orchids, outdoor shower, a covered lanai with table & chairs, even a clothes line to dry our towels. Marilyn generously shared her pool and spectacular views of coastal West Hawaii with us, sunset time spent by the pool watching the sun sink into the oceans and all the colors in sky intensifying was a favorite time & memory for me. We loved being able to start our day of adventure with a dip in her pool for a few laps. While I did not ask, I think Marilyn is a master gardener as her surround gardens of tropical flowers and fruit trees that gently terrace down the slope are impressive. Close by we found everything needed, groceries, and unique shops and very good restaurants. This great location afforded us to easily get many different beaches to swim & snorkel, (heehee – not enough time to go to all so will have to come back: ), yet seemed like only 30 minutes or so to reach downtown Kailua Kona. We were super happy and Marilyn made us feel so at home and was easily accessible whenever we had a question, we will definitely be back. Thank you Marilyn for sharing your beautiful piece of the magical island with us, we look forward to our next visit with you again.
