The Ohana beach retreat is in a really nice location, easy to zip around the island for the day (if u can bear the traffic), just quiet enough for a family to stay and go for nice stroller walks and close enough to Kona to make it easy to zip in for supper. The shopping complex up the hill is perfect for easy groceries and has a couple nice restaurants with great sunsets.
The manager was easily accessible and the instructions to get there and into the gated complex were very clear. Jeri even rented us a playpen and high chair which saved us loads of time and money when we got there.
The townhouse is beautifully decorated and if it is not unusually rainy and humid is plenty airy. There is a cool semi private beach for exploring and it is close enough for some decent snorkeling at the beach just to the north.
The beds are super comfortable and there’s tons of closet space! Having an in house laundry makes it very easy to pack light. There is a hairdryer and mini fan in the washroom to help get ready for date nights in Kona!
The pool and tennis courts were always lively but not too crowded.
We cooked nearly every meal and the kitchen has more than we ever needed for cooking supplies and a few spices etc so we didn’t have to buy all the basics.
As a first time booker on Air Bnb I was a little skeptical about sending so much money online, but the process was easy and worry free once I heard about the booking guarantee. The value for money was great at this place for us with our Canadian exchange. With everything costing 30% more in the US, its nice to have a fair price for a great place.
This place felt very homey, super clean and spacious enough for a wonderful holiday for four adults and our baby for our two week stay. Thanks Doug and Donna for having a great place.
