We rented Maile’s studio for our anniversary for a staycation from our loud and busy lives in Honolulu and we are grateful for her accommodating our eight month old, which some renters do not, but if you are looking for peace and quiet on your vacation I would consider renting elsewhere. The studio indeed does have a separate entrance but it is connected to the main house with thin walls. You definitely hear the Goings on of a family with multiple dogs all day and night. And along with dog barking there was dog feces all over the walkway and yard surrounding the studio. To us, the price seemed steep for what is offered. Once again, we are thankful for the renter for accommodating our baby and for allowing us to stay in their home and while for a surfer looking to crash on north shore it would be ideal it was not the peaceful getaway we had hoped for.
