I really loved staying in the Jasmine Studio. I was sad to leave when it was time. Marie was warm and welcoming through out my entire stay, the location was divine, and the studio itself was very comfy.

Throughout my stay, Marie struck a nice balance of checking in around household schedules, ensuring I was comfortable, and respecting my privacy. The property and home are well-cared for, very clean, and vibrant. Its a lively guesthouse amenably situated in Live Oak. Both Marie and Peter are warm, happy people.

I loved the location near the beach. It was an easy walk, and one can hear the waves at night. So sweet! The private deck is the best asset with full sun much of the day. Its not really walking distance to many amenities (just starbucks, aloha grill, little caesars), however, one can easily bike or drive to the 41st st/Pleasure Pt district which has a bit of everything. Personally, I really liked the residential feel to the neighborhood.

The studio was clean, and bright with a very comfortable bed and sheets. The kitchen was serviceable, and quite handy for making light meals.

All in all, I had a fantastic 2 week stay in the studio, and I would stay again.

One pro tip: it can be a bit lively in the mornings with guests departing, with the school starting next door, neighbors doing yardwork, etc. If you are looking to sleep in on a weekday, ear plugs are recommended : )
