April and Bob's Ocean Blue Ohana provided the perfect setting for our low key trip to Maui in December. They were very attentive hosts, before our arrival and during our stay.
The location is just off of the main highway in the Kihei/Wailea area and provided easy access by car to the beaches in this area of the island, and not too far of a drive up the coast to the Kaanapali area.
The Ocean Blue Ohana itself had everything we could have needed on our vacation and more. Even the smallest of touches can make you feel that much more at home, and April and Bob went the extra mile every where we could see. The outdoor lanai area is like an extra room on the house, with a dining area and living area overlooking the most magnificent oceanview panoramic I've ever seen, with Molokini dotting the horizon in the distance. We'd hurry back to make sure we could see sunset from our patio each day and that whole hour of twilight after sunset became one of our favorite times of the day.
For amenities, April and Bob have thought of it all it seems like. From hotel-style bathrobes and slippers, to microwave popcorn for movie night, to the extensive beach gear (boogie boards, umbrellas, beach chairs) selection, an outdoor shower with hot water for washing sand off at the end of the day. There's not a range or oven in the kitchen, instead housing the most efficient ice maker and a drink refrigerator. This isn't a problem though, because we used the very nice gas grill on the lanai for grilling or there's an attached side burner for breakfast eggs, etc. We stopped at the Costco nearby the Kahalui airport to stock up for the duration of our 9 day stay, and there's a Safeway just a few minutes down the highway or a Foodland down in Kihei.
The place was immaculate when we arrived, and the quality of the furniture, materials, walk in shower, etc. really gave our vacation the luxurious touch we were looking to spoil ourselves with. We've already started talking about when we can come back to Maui, and there's no question we'd plan around the Ocean Blue Ohana for our next trip... we could have never left and still had a great vacation just drinking coffee, grilling steaks and being mesmerized by that incredible view. This is an AirBnB that lives up to and overwhelmingly exceeds its expectations and through no small part in the efforts that April and Bob have made in making this such a cozy retreat.
