My trip to Windward O'ahu was not my first. Visiting dear friends, my infant daughter and I made the trip from New Jersey and selected Susan's Ohana cottage as our home for 15 days. It was quickly apparent to me that I had found a lifelong friend in Susan as she welcomed me and my child into her home. I instantly felt safe and comfortable.

Susan's home is spectacular and, as someone who has traveled extensively, really ideal. The cottage has the perfect amount of amenities one needs to feel at home while abroad. The king size bed was luxurious and comfortable. The kitchen is immaculate and there is a private full size washer and dryer (which is key, as someone who likes to pack lightly and make due on the road).
The grounds of Susan's home are really charming, from the stunning grotto pool and hot tub to the private yard behind the cottage... All perfect.
The beach is exactly 45 seconds away (I timed it) and it is incredibly convenient to have such access (esp. with small children).
I will be staying with Susan again and am so blessed to have found an Auntie in her friendship and hospitality. You will
NOT be disappointed. This is Ohana ;)
