Aloha!
My boyfriend and I just stayed 6 nights and loved our experience at the studio. The location was great being within walking distance to the Coconut Marketplace with shops, places to eat, a general store etc. (new stores just opened and more to be opening soon). The unit has a semi-private lanai where you can sit and enjoy a drink while listening to the ocean. Walk to the beach right outside your place after 4 and get a chance to see the sea turtles! Sitting on the beach watching the turtles during sunset was one of our very favorite moments. Just across the way, there is a community pool/hot tub area, bbq's and a pool side Tiki Bar. We loved pulling up a chair to the bar with a beach view and just relaxed with Pina Colada's and conversing with the other travelers/bartenders. Snorkel gear, beach chairs, small ice chest and some other items for beach trips were included and much appreciated as I over-pack as it is... If you plan on renting a car, there is a lot of parking including the parking lot next to the market and all you need in to ask for a parking permit at the front desk. With the location right on the beach, you really cannot beat this price!

When you decide to stay here, we recommend getting some delicious fresh fish tacos and a Kauai Juice Company Kombucha at the Kilauea Fish Market just a minute walking distance from the studio! Also, with a bit of a walk, you can head to the Wailua River for Stand-Up Paddle Board or Kayak rentals. Another must go is the Mermaids Cafe for ridiculously delicious fresh foods and non-alcoholic drinks.

Honestly, if you are vacationing on a budget and want something comfortable, on the beach with a relaxed vibe, you don't need to look any farther. Mary was a lovely and gracious host and easy to communicate with. She strives to provide the very best home away from home for you during your stay. Mahalo Mary!
