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)! 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. 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!
I am here to help make your vacation stay the best ever!

I almost hesitate to say how dang awesome Mermaid Cottage is because I want it to be available whenever I want to return. I loved everything about this home and Jill, our host.

The Sweet Mermaids Studio makes you feel welcome and at home. So many lovely touches artwork and flowers. The outside shower is very refreshing. We had an amazing walk down to the ocean the first evening to watch the sunset. I'd highly recommend this as a lovely quiet place to stay

I had another lovely stay at the Mermaid Studio. (9 days in July)
Historic Napo'opo'o is a tiny village on Kealakekua Bay. (The hyphens are pronounced like "oh-oh" but most locals seem to shorten it to Napopo.) One lane roads, no stores... It feels very remote but is still an easy drive from the airport, 15 min to groceries. I come for the amazing local snorkelling, the best on the island IMHO. You can kayak across the bay to the Cook Monument for snorkelling, or drive 9 min south to the equally excellent Honaunau Bay (2-step beach). I also enjoyed walking 2 blocks to Manini Beach each evening to watch the sunset and chat with the locals. Very mellow.
The spacious studio had everything I needed. You have your own outdoor table, pond, lounge chair, and shower. Jill is always cheerful, helpful and knowledgeable.
I hope to return again next year.

A magical mermaid studio for sure. Beautiful grounds, fantastic location away from the hustle and bustle. Studio was decorated so well. It was a delight to listen to the frogs, birds, and roosters while enjoying the outdoor shower. Truly a wonderful experience

We had a lovely stay at Jill's Mermaid Studio. We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the studio - lots of room to enjoy.
Highlights:
*short walk to snorkeling
*gardens are beautiful
*floral smells in the air at night
*outdoor shower
*Jill is great host
*kitties are sweet
*excellent amenities (we didnt need anything)
Hints: the tropics are amazing and bugs live here - bug spray & bite lotion are needed if hanging outside
Keep a clean kitchen
Driveway can be tricky in dark
Enjoy this lovely oasis

We celebrated our second honeymoon and it was just exceptional. Jill was an awesome host, and her mermaid studio was perfect.
Very clean and a great place to relax after exploring the Island. Nestled in a quiet area with a two minute walk ro a quaint local beach. The place has a very zen feel with unique decor. My wife loved the out door shower.
If you want a fun and memorable experience come visit jill in her mermaid studio, you won't be disappointed.

Our stay at Jill's Mermaid cottage was Awesome!
Jill is an excellent host who made us feel truly welcome and was on site but far from intrusive. The grounds (her yard) is an oasis that makes you feel like you're in your own island paradise.
Jill, Thank you and we hope to stay with you again,

We chose this place due to it's proximity to Captain Cook, as we wanted to hike the monument trail and snorkel at Kealakekua Bay. It was absolutely perfect for what we needed! Jill was there to greet us when we arrived and was readily available if we needed anything. The room was clean and very well appointed with everything we could possibly need. It is not too far away from Kailua-Kona, and right in the heart of coffee country! We would definitely stay here again!
