This is a gem of a space on a gem of an island!! Mariana was quick to get back to me about any questions I had before my trip then met me at the house when I arrived to give me keys and show me what I needed to know. While I only saw Mariana and her husband a couple of times, they were both friendly and gave me good tips about the island.
I was solo in the studio but this would be great for a couple also. Everything was clean, modern, and comfortable and everything I needed was there. It was great to have beach chairs, snorkel gear, and beach towels ready for use!
The studio is on the north shore which is super lush and green. It's a 5 minute walk to Queens Bath and a short drive to Hanalei, Tunnels Beach, and Ke'e Beach which is where the Napali Coast trail begins. I fell in love with the north shore but just keep in mind that it takes about two hours to get from the north shore the west shore.
I happened to stumble upon First Saturday in Kapaa and I'm so glad I did, all the artisans and musicians were a real treat! A must see if you are in Kauai on the first Saturday of the month.
I would definitely stay here again on another trip to Kauai.
Thanks Mariana and Carlos for the great space!
