Merlin went above and beyond with her warmth and kindness. We immediately felt comfortable, as if we were being greeted by an old friend! We enjoyed our fair share of goodies from the garden, including lychees, avocados, grapes, the best limes I've ever eaten and fresh coconut after a long day hiking.
Her location was perfect for us, as we were planning on volcano exploration on the Big Island. I sought out her location for its accessibility to points of interest and the airport, but I also thoroughly enjoyed being surrounded by nature and all of her beautiful plants and garden! It was more than I ever expected.
We were also visited by so many fun critters on the porch during morning coffee - kittens, chickens, lizards. And don't forget the sounds of the coquis at night! I can't recommend her spot more! I'm already dying to go back!
