About this property
Sweet Mermaid Studio at Manini Beach, Kealakekua Bay
Everything you might need to enjoy an exciting or relaxing vacation right by the ocean at the beautiful and world famous, "Kealakekua Bay'.
This private location is perfect for adventuring around our quaint neighborhood, with quiet walks, hiking trails, or exploring further around the island. When you return back to enjoy this safe, secure, cozy space and unwind to the sounds of nature.
I also have assorted snorkel gear available, (if interested, please ask about my bicycle)!
Located at the Manini Beach sub-division, only a 2 minute walk to some of the most incredible snorkeling in the world.... the wonderful Kealakekua Bay! Enjoying crystal clear water on a calm day, filled with colorful reef fish and green sea turtles, theses are some of the beautiful sights you'll experience. Watching the fish and underwater sea life may clear your mind of most thoughts as you discover the peacefulness of snorkeling. Enjoy a Kayak or paddle board on calm days... You may see Dolphins or Manta rays in deeper water and in the winter months there is always a chance of seeing Humpback whales! Please follow all the DLNR rules and keep a safe distance.
My studio has a small kitchenette area in the great big space, with a full size refrigerator, induction stove top, blender, coffee maker, electric tea kettle and outside there is a full size BBQ with a side burner. There is enough space to prepare and enjoy a delicious, quality breakfast, lunch or dinner.
The outside covered patio is surrounded by flowering plants, fruit trees and a fish pond with night blooming waterlily's.
A comfortable queen size bed has 100% cotton sheets and there is a queen size convertible couch if you need or like separate beds. A smart TV for watching Net Flicks and there is plenty of open space to stretch out and relax.
Outside the great room, on the covered patio area, is where my wonderful custom designed private shower is located!
There are extra beach towels a clothes line and some beach gear too.
Enjoy my paradise from this comfortable studio and see how the local folk live!
Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions...
I am here to help make your vacation stay the best ever!

About the host
Hosted by Jill Ami Meyers
I enjoy paddle boarding and swimming in the bay almost daily! I like sharing my Hawaii with my guests and I feel good when they've had an exciting adventure to share or just a beautiful day! I am an artist and I enjoy collecting art. I have designed this Sweet Mermaid Studio, I did all the faux painting and some of the art on the walls to create a colorful, warm space for you to relax and enjoy! Meeting new folks from different places in the world has been both interesting and rewarding.
Mahalo for choosing my Sweet Mermaid Studio!

Why they chose this property
I feel this location is some of the best snorkeling on the Kona side of the Big Island. There are many hikes and places to explore in walking distance. This neighborhood is quaint, close to the ocean and very quiet. I know all my neighbors and feel very safe here.
What makes this property unique
The short walk to the ocean entrance with an incredible, underwater marine sanctuary is wonderful to explore! There are many hikes close by and wild places to jump into the ocean if you're athletic enough to climb out scaling the wet rocky coast. Close to "Pu`uhonua O` Honaunau" the Place of Refuge, a National Park where there is educational history and more fabulous snorkeling at "2 Steps". Also, this is close to Ke'ei beach which is a white sandy quiet beach and has a great surf point for the more experienced surfers! There is an old Kings trail that travels along the coast all the way southward to Ho'okena Beach Park.
