Catherine was on another island when we arrived but she had her friend meet us at the studio and make sure we had everything we needed. Catherine had even left us some Hawaiian treats. The studio was even nicer than I expected from the photos. It was bright and felt spacious, and extremely clean. It was nicely laid out, and our family of 3 had enough space to feel comfortable and relaxed. The neighborhood was very convenient and felt safe. It seemed like our neighbors were mostly permanent residents in the complex. The pool by the ocean was lovely, and sometimes locals would fish on the rocks by the ocean - it was cool to see the fish they brought in. We were a short drive from an awesome beach where we swam with turtles. A bit farther down the road is the best snorkel bay around. I was very glad for the aloe in the bathroom cupboard after getting a sunburn! We would love to come back for another stay here someday!
