One of two private studios side by side, it has its own entrance, patio, and a quiet, easy atmosphere. Inside, the open-plan layout keeps everything close and functional. A comfortable king bed sits opposite a small sitting area that opens to the covered patio, looking out to greenery and glimpses of the sea across the road. The kitchenette is set up for simple meals with a small fridge, microwave, kettle, toaster, plates, bowls, cutlery, and glasses, ideal for breakfast or light snacks before heading out. The bathroom is compact and practical for beach days, and the patio works well as a relaxed outdoor spot for morning coffee or an evening drink in the fresh air. With the beach directly opposite, most guests move easily between the studio and the shoreline throughout the day. Bed Configuration Studio: 1 × king bed 1 × king bed – comfortable and light-filled, opens to a covered patio with sea glimpses Bathrooms: 1 Parking: Off-street parking available at the property Guest Access: Guests have full access to their private studio and patio.

The Neighborhood: Aqua Sands – Studio 1 sits in Little Oneroa, a small, relaxed pocket just outside Oneroa Village. The beach is directly across the road, and the local dairy is a short stroll away for ice creams, snacks, and essentials. Cafés / Breakfast Wai Kitchen — daytime dining with views across Oneroa Bay. Akito Café — modern, plant-forward brunch and coffee. Lunch Spots Solar Eating House — casual garden setting with an all-day menu.

Cable Bay Vineyards — shared plates, modern dining, and sunset views. Breweries The Heke — local favourite for wood-fired mains, craft beer, and a lively outdoor setting. Oneroa Village is within walking distance, giving you easy access to dining, shops, galleries, and the main beachfront Getting Around: Aqua Sands by Stay Waiheke sits right on the local bus route, with the stop conveniently located by Little Oneroa Dairy.
