Very clean and well set up studio apartment. Private, quiet, lovely linen and towels & a wonderful view of the waves within a stones throw. Spacious bathroom with an excellent shower. Slept like a log & enjoyed walks on the beach watching the sunrise. Better than Waikiki!

Relaxing getaway
We had a perfect stay at Carnie and Ivan's place. The house is ideally located right on the beach and has everything you need. The studio is located under the main house yet is very private and has spectacular views of the ocean. We were there for eight nights and felt right at home. The bed is comfortable, with loads of pillow choices and a well-stocked kitchenette. My husband enjoyed Ivan's local knowledge and they both went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Highly recommended.
