An incredible honeymoon!
Our stay at the Kailua Seahorse Studio was PERFECT. It's even more beautiful in person than in the pictures. Everything is clean, brand new, or newly renovated. The studio is private, too. We had our own entrance and plenty of space. Cindy was nearby if we needed anything but we had lots of privacy. It was a perfect balance.
There's also nothing missing from the kitchenette, which made cooking dinner every night really easy. There's a full fridge, microwave, toaster oven, hot plate, etc. There's also a coffee machine for the morning.
There were beach towels, chairs, snorkel equipment, coolers, and everything else you could need for the beach.
The two cruiser bikes were also a delight to ride around town with. Everything is within a 5 minute bike ride - grocery stores, restaurants, and the beach. They have baskets on the front, too.
Kailua itself it also a great place to be. It has a very laid back, friendly, small town charm. But it has all big city amenities. There are lots of grocery stores, cafés, restaurants, and shops. The beach is incredible and the weather is amazing. There's lots to do in and around the town. Plenty of hikes nearby and with a car, the other side of the island is only an hour away. Honolulu day trips are also really easy to make - it's less than 30 mins by car.
Cindy is truly an amazing host. She was so generous with her time, advice, even her food! She welcomed us into her home and was available whenever we needed her.
We spent 10 days here and 5 in Honolulu. After 10 minutes on Waikiki, we already missed Kailua. The Seahorse Studio is a lovely, charming, romantic place to stay and we strongly recommend it.
