Well, it’s almost 2 weeks later and we’re still coming down from the absolute thrill of our week-long stay. My wife and I will never forget the wonderful memories of staying at Marilyn’s Tiny House!... For our delayed honeymoon, we were hoping for the privacy of a secluded, locally-focused, away-from-it-all escape (rather than a crowded "tourist resort" experience) and WOW did this Airbnb deliver! Up on the mountain in Captain Cook, surrounded by greenery, flowering plants and coffee farms, and overlooking the sloping mountain side drifting down to an expansive ocean horizon, the views from this stunning property are simply spectacular -- as if you are walking through a 360-degree movie! Everything about the Tiny House has been gently, thoughtfully included. Having access to use the pool on the property is a terrific perk! (You won’t get private pool time at any resort, that’s for sure.) And what you might imagine to be “tiny” is actually quite spacious between two floors for a couple -- especially when you include the private grass yard and lanai, as well as a refreshing, glorious outdoor shower that looks out to the trees and the ocean. Marilyn’s sweet cats greet you at the pool and garden. Geckos hang out with you over coffee on the balcony. Even the Coquí frogs “sing” to you at night, hah! If you want to connect with nature, this is the place. The outdoor electric grill and well appointed kitchen allowed for intimate meals at home, and we stocked up at the very convenient grocery store (ChoiceMart) just minutes away. With a rental car, you can explore the area beaches, and venture out to points further around the island. Although Marilyn herself was away during our stay, immediately upon booking she offered great local tips and kind, welcoming correspondence well in advance. Then while we were on-site, the very pleasant and friendly property caretaker Craig provided genuine and personalized hospitality, useful info and advice, along with exotic fruit, interesting local tidbits and cultural/historic “Hawaiiana.” We could only leave with gratitude and humility, along with our deep desire to return. We feel like we’ve found a “home away from home” on the Big Island, and can’t wait to book this “Tiny House” again.
