I echo the compliments of hundreds before me! The list of why the Tiny House is magical is so long - So I will simply say that if you want an amazingly restorative stay in estate-quality lush grounds with amazingly exotic banana bread creations from Craig, thoughtful details from Marilyn such as estate 100% organic coffee beans, chilled after-sun gels, bubbly wine and chilled flutes to celebrate special occasions along with chocolate berry cream pie to go with the bubbly, and basket of fresh vine-ripe fruits, lanterns at the two outdoor tables to light for ambience and to keep the mosquitoes away, very loving main coon kitty to love on, swim in your own salt water pool, well here I go starting that long list! Craig even irons the sheets, and the sheets! the softest sheets, like velvety pudding you slip between at night while listening to the coqui frogs and if your lucky, the rain singing you into a deep slumber. And the bathroom -- they've thought of every emergency you could possibly have and stocked up for it, from sinus headaches to losing a filling! The outdoor shower has a most fantastic view of the ocean and a tree that I'm in love with and seriously made such a connection to - I'm not sure what kind of tree, but it's limbs and colorful flowers and leaves generously outstretch in a semi circle hugging all things under its vast care much like "Groot" when he became the wood ball and sheltered his buddies out of love. It's amazing really - the love and care put into making every body's stay so unique and relaxing and -- perfect.
I didn't get to meet Marilyn, but she was an excellent and gracious communicator, letting me know well in advance of my trip and several times leading up to our arrival. Marilyn lets you know she's looking forward to making your trip magical and welcomes you into her ohana and hale.
Craig - what a generous soul - he literally gave the shirt out of his closet to my son to wear when he presented his dissertation to his committee at UH Hilo, and then told him to keep it in memory of his accomplishment - now THAT's ALOHA. Craig's an amazing baker and pure of heart. Be sure to ask him to give you a private reading of his short stories. I LOVED his "Chicken Chronicles" and eagerly await his announcement of publication. Seriously - the stories are brilliant and my son and I are still talking and "cracking up" about Henrietta and her adventures!
Mahalo Nui Loa is not enough enough to express my appreciation. Marilyn and Craig are truly caretakers of a slice of Hawaii and I early await my next trip. Aloha and Mahalo!
