We loved staying at the studio. I felt it really gave us a true Hawaii experience. I think one can stay in a touristy vacation resort anytime, but how many can say they stayed in a place where you could hear and feel the tropics around you with geckos visiting you? The place is definitely off the beaten path and can be hard to find. There were several times coming back late at night where we missed the small fork/driveway off the main highway and had to turn around. However, we did like the seclusion at the same time. We also loved having a kitchen in the studio. It was very useful. We did not get the opportunity to meet with Ed and George because they were out of town, but Ed was easy to reach via email and check-in/out was a breeze. Ed was also very kind to give us suggestions such as snorkel spots, places to go, and beautiful scenic drives. We miss Hawaii so much already!
