If you're looking for a place to stay on Big Island, look no further! The Salty Mermaid is not only a great location, but when our party of 6 stayed here, we felt at home! It has all the amenities you need, including much more! We also had our own designated parking spot, so no need to struggle looking for parking. Tiffany really put details into her home, including a welcome book that she made with helpful information and suggestions of places to visit on the island. The kitchen is fully stocked with supplies so we were able to make some meals at home. She also has some beach supplies that came in handy, like beach towels, boogie boards, and pool noodles! The washer and dryer was super helpful for days after the beach when we had to wash our clothes. There is no AC, but it is not needed at all because at night time it cools down significantly. Tiffany is also very responsive and communicative, and answered any questions we had almost right away. The location is perfect if you're looking to explore many places on the Island - we were able to visit Hilo, the green and black sand beach, Volcano National Park, and the Hapuna beach area. We were also about 25 minutes from the airport, and 15 minutes from many great local restaurant and shopping areas. I hope to stay at Tiffany's place again in the future!
