My husband and I stayed in Mr. Kobayashi's studio for 5 nights and we had a fabulous stay. The location is just marvelous; Waikoloa Village is close to the best beaches and very peaceful, and the house is towards the end of the village, so it is extremely tranquil. The studio had everything we needed, including a hot plate for the kitchen that made cooking small meals possible. The beach chairs and towels were also a great bonus. The bathroom is nice and clean and the studio is well-stocked. The bed is firm as others have noted, but we weren't uncomfortable. Mr. Kobayashi was an incredible host: very kind, responded promptly, and was very accommodating with our request to check out a little late. The studio was peaceful, private, and we would highly recommend it!
