My husband and I stayed at The Ohana for a week for our honeymoon. Joe was very responsive to any questions we had and communicated really well with us about checking in, local attractions, and any other things that might have come up (like grocery stores in town are closed on Sundays). The one bedroom guest house is wonderfully equipped with a full kitchen with any cooking supplies you might need and a washer and dryer. The Ohana is about a two minute walk from a gorgeous private beach. There were never more than maybe 20 other people on the beach. The beach also has shade trees which is perfect if you are like me, who burns really easily. Joe provided beach chairs, beach towels, and other beach equipment for our use. The house is also about a 5 minute walk from the Point, where you can catch gorgeous sunrises. It is about 5 minutes from the Polynesian Cultural Center (highly recommend) and we were only about 20-40 minutes away from any beach on the North Shore. The location is fantastic if you are looking to stay away from over-crowded touristy spots in Honolulu or Waikiki, although w did make a trip to Pearl Harbor and Diamondhead. While the drive is about an hour, it's an easy drive along the coast that offers beautiful views of the ocean. I would highly recommend staying at The Ohana!
