The place was beautiful. Susan and her son were great hosts. She met us at the house and showed us around. The grounds are kept immaculately clean and the studio was a great space. We loved how close we were to Kailua beach and all of the beach gear provided at the house. There are exactly 100 steps to the beach (we counted!). Most of the time we were there, it was pretty rainy, so things were fairly humid, but the place was super nice--AC was super quiet and worked great. The shower and toilet area are a bit small, but no worries, because there is an outdoor shower--how awesome! :) Overall we loved out stay and would definitely consider staying again.
