Lovely and peaceful stay! I had a wonderful time staying at Merlinda’s for my brief time near Hilo. Her property is magical, and you feel the energy of love and care she has put into it right away. I appreciated the thoughtful touches like homemade jam and fresh fruit from her garden, and the bed was super cozy! She was also a very kind and responsive host. I would definitely return and highly recommend her place for your next Big Island trip!
