MAGICAL & COZY GEM! BIRDS, HUGE FERNS ABOUND IN NATIVE RAINFOREST. SO QUIET.VOLCANO VILLAGE SERENITY SUITEWe do not accept bookings from anyone who has not been vaccinated and had booster shots, with the exception of small children. We appreciate your honesty about this as it is very important to us. Thank you for being vaccinated in this critical time. Mahalo!And, DO KNOW this is truly a “Big Island”. If you are flying directly into the Kona airport it is 90+ miles from Volcano so try to arrive early into Kona. Let us know so we can advise you on the best route to take. The Hilo Airport is 30 easy miles from Volcano.Your private entrance leads to our sweet and cozy Serenity Suite in the heart of quiet Volcano Village. FREE breakfast the first morning. Guests say this is the coziest place they have ever stayed, it truly is!!Our property is on one half acre of land that we have been gardening and landscaping in a native forest for 40 years. You will find quiet and privacy here.Guests are awed by this piece of paradise and are treated like family.Relax in either of 2 hammocks, one under the native Lehua Ohia trees and Hapu’u ferns and the other on your private covered porch.We have added a gas grill and grilling tools to Serenity Suite for our guests use.This is vacation rental is NOT located in a subdivision, as many vacation rentals in Volcano are. We are in the heart of the “Village” on a charming and quiet road, just minutes from the park and Volcano Village dinning.Relax and restore as you listen to soothing native bird songs (note: there are no noisy coqui frogs in this part of the village, which are very loud critters)There is a cozy gas fireplace, Sally’s extensive lending library and 2 beds in this 2 room suite with covered porch. over 700 sf. Second bed is a double and suitable for a third guest or for 2 children. Not suitable for comfort for 2 adults.We think this vacation rental is ideal for 2 adults or a family. It is not always ideal for 4 adults as there is one queen bed and one double bed, so if you are especially tall or large the double bed might be too small for you. We want everyone to be most comfortable while staying in Volcano Village Serenity Suite!Extra single futon available, if needed.We have comfy “hapi” coats for you to wear and soft fuzzy socks if needed. You will be “happy” here!A generous locally sourced breakfast is provided on the first morning in your suite. (Note vegetarian but not vegan) It will all be in the fridge when you arrive. Our water is excellent, so don’t buy any bottled water.Wonderful freshly ground coffee, tea assortments, local juice, hot chocolate and popcorn are provided.We are extremely close to ALL that you need: 3 minutes to the nearby stores and restaurants and 5 minutes to the entrance to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.Our sweet neighborhood is also a joy to stroll in, so bring your walking shoes.You will love this place!We also are LEGAL and registered with the State of Hawaii, as a legitimate vacation rental. Sadly, many are not.Come, meet, Sally & Jeffrey Mermel.Sally is celebrating her 54th year in Hawaii and Jeffrey is a former Volcano National Park naturalist. We love Volcano and have lived in this home for 45 years. Sally’s garden was recently featured on a garden tour by The Volcano Foundation.The youngest island in the archipelago, ‘Hawaii’s Big Island’ was believed to be the first island Polynesian voyagers set foot on 1,500 years ago. Today, the ‘Big Island’ remains a vital touchstone for Hawaiian culture, the birthplace of Hawaii’s greatest King, Kamehameha I, also the home of Pele, goddess of fire, and Kilauea, the world’s most active volcano. Mark Twain called this island ‘the peacefullest, restfullest, balmiest, dreamiest haven of refuge for a worn and weary spirit the surface of the earth can offer’.
