The Mermaid Studio is amazing. Angel, Duke, Jade, and the dogs make you feel like part of their family, but still offer you privacy and seclusion in your home away from home. The studio was a little oasis that I enjoyed coming back to at the end of the day- the outdoor shower is a wonderful feature, and I highly recommend you try it when you stay here. I slept comfortably and soundly- the area is so quiet- a welcome change from where I live in the city. I enjoyed hearing the roosters in the morning crowing in the distance. The location can't be beat . I liked that I was still on the North Shore within a couple minute drive into Haleiwa without being in a busy area. I had to make several drives into Honolulu while I was there, and it was very quick and easy to do so from the Mermaid Studio. I had everything I needed- a full kitchen, beach gear, great WiFi, Alexia to play music, a washer and dryer, a charging station for my phone and computer, and the studio is super clean and beautifully decorated. I will definitely be coming back soon!
