Be prepared for an intimate Hawai’i experience. SO close to the beach, great places to eat, and great activities, it is a dream location. Ricardo stays in the house nearby—which is much closer than the pictures show. Our first night he had friends over, which was fine (It’s his place after all) but the neighbors closest to the home had children screaming through the evening and night.
My boyfriend is from New York and the overwhelming hospitality and involvement made him uneasy, although I was okay with it and expected it from a Hawai’i stay. My one hang up was a motion-censor camera IN the studio space, which we noticed after some time and did not offer any privacy.
At the end of the day the location is amazing, the space is clean, and if you don’t mind a sweet, hospitable host on the same property its fantastic. (Ricardo is one of the most charming people on the planet) We would go again in a heartbeat.
