My husband and I stayed for 30 days. Corrine was a most welcoming host. She gave us a tour of the farm and supplied us with many examples of the fruit that grows on the farm. While there the sheep had lambs. It was great. She gave us tips about the island and was very helpful. The apartment is huge. We had a lot of room. It was the cleaniest home we have stayed in. It is quiet and comfortable. It was located so it was easy to go into Hilo or explore the rest of the island. It was a wonderful stay. We will always remember our time on the Big Island. Thanks Corrine!

Corinne was a wonderful host who went out of her way to make us feel welcome and at home. I haven’t been able to eat bananas at home after tasting those that she grows on her orchard! Thank you for a fantastically peaceful and comfortable visit.

Corinne is a kind and helpful host with a beautiful, comfortable home. She gave us a tour of her impressive property and let us sample some of the fruits and herbs that she grows behind the house. It's clear she put lots of hard work and love into building this place!

A remarkable place

A very spacious accommodation on a farm with acres of fruit trees. Warm, hospitable hosts. Scenic countryside at a bit of elevation from the coast, so there are cool breezes in the evening. There is a full kitchen with all the conveniences you could want AND an outdoor pool. Highly recommended.

Beautiful property in a superb location to explore on the Hilo side. Corinna was a wonderful host, treating us to a tour of the property, as well as fresh eggs and veggies. Sorry we weren't able to meet Norman. Maybe next time. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else.

We had such a beautiful stay here. Corinne is a wonderful host- hardworking, gracious, funny, and genuinely down‑to‑earth. The suite is on the first floor of her home, with a fully enclosed bedroom and bathroom and a screened‑in porch living area that gives the whole space a peaceful, glamping‑style feel.Because the porch area is open to the breeze and the sounds of the farm, you really do feel immersed in nature. Little visitors like geckos may wander through from time to time, which felt charming to us, but it’s helpful for guests to know it’s a true farm setting.The 12‑acre organic fruit farm is absolutely gorgeous… lush, serene, and full of life, including the sweetest baby sheep!!! It felt like a little Garden of Eden, and I loved every second of it.Corinne went above and beyond during our stay, even bringing us to a local chocolate farm that buys her cocoa and showing us a beautiful waterfall. It was peaceful, authentic, and full of heart. I’m so grateful for the experience.

We would stay here again without hesitation

My fiance and I spent three nights at the Mermaid Sanctuary. We found the accomodations very much to our liking, super spacious and very unique when comparing this property to a hotel or condo. Definitely more personality than the average night's stay away from home. Our hostess was very good about communicating with us if something out of the ordinary happened (the automatic gate went out of order for a brief bit). We are both fussy but we would recommend the property and intend to stay again. Thanks!

our stay at Hakalau

the accommodation is spacious, with the kitchen and living room area being semi-outdoors, wich is very nice, given the climate on Hawaii. The bedroom offers a direct access to the garden and the pool. Just behind the pool you'll find the entrance to the amazing farm gardens with orchards full of tropical fruit, which we were allowed to gather. Corinne was an excellent host. She went well beyond what can be expected and offered lots of tips for eating in Hilo and activities in the area. We'd love to come back.

Gird your mind, body & soul off the grid.

I joined Vrbo back in the day looking for this experience on Maui on the Hana side - it turns out it is on the Big Island on the Hilo side - a veritable fruit farm that could vend the garden of Eden if needed. The vibe was rain forest meets drought stricken mainlander. We swam in the pool every day and took the tour and ate the exotic fruits. We enjoyed the screened in kitchen/patio for breakfast every morning and did a load of laundry before we left. An unforgettable stay of the better part of a week.
