Angel and Duke are genuinely good people. It was a pleasure to stay with them.
The location of this place could not be better. It is very easy to find with your GPS. Plenty of parking! It's located in a quiet neighborhood away from tourists and traffic. But it is just a very short drive to town for dining and shopping. Also it's so close to all the best beaches and activities. You just literally hop in your car and you are less than 15 minutes away from some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. I love to snorkel and there are two amazing snorkeling beaches so close. The view from the back yard is of a gorgeous, green mountain range.
The Mermaid Studio is even more cute in person. The inside is small but laid out very well so I didn't feel cramped at all. The bed is SO COMFORTABLE! There is no AC, however they have 3 fans mounted on the walls and one box fan facing the bed. While we were there the temperature was 85-95 degrees and we were worried we were going to be hot at night sleeping but we weren't. There are huge windows on 3 sides of the studio and combined with the fans the place cools off so quickly. The studio has it's own private indoor bathroom. However, you can use their super adorable out door shower which feels amazing in the Hawaii weather especially at night when you can see the stars. The studio has it's own private entrance so you don't have to worry about waking anyone in the house up if you come back late. The studio opens up to the backyard and a large outdoor room with a table and places to sit. Everything at this place looks great and is really clean and well taken care of.
The dogs and cats that live here are all very friendly and used to visitors. At first when we got here they were very curious about us but then after that just accepted us as friends. It was great to be able to pet them it made me miss my dog a lot less. :-)
