The mermaid studio is no ka oi (the best)! Angel and Duke and Jade were thoroughly committed to making sure that my stay was stellar. I had an issue getting my rental car on a timely manner when I arrived at the airport, and Angel and Jade were very flexible to make sure someone could meet me for check-in that first evening. Throughout the trip, whenever I had a question, the response was immediate.
The studio itself is charming and cozy and has everything that you will need to feel completely at-home in the space. It’s very clean and well-maintained with beautiful touches harking back to the home’s history and origins, such as original, antique door knobs and reclaimed wood finishes. The high ceilings and natural light topped it off, along with the outdoor shower and the sounds of nature all around. The roosters weren’t even a disturbance (in my opinion) but earplugs are provided if that sound is bothersome to guests.
You will be close to fantastic beaches and restaurants, so the location is prime. If you haven’t been to the North Shore area (or maybe to Hawaii at all) a guide of recommendations is provided for your reference.
The little animal family that live there, two dogs and an indoor cat, are a complete and utter joy to be around. So if you had to leave your own animal family behind for a while, you will likely relish the warm welcomes you get every time they see you.
I would not hesitate recommending Angel and Duke’s place to anyone. Several of my friends have this place on their radar now and I can’t say enough good things about this little oasis.
