We went to Kona looking for experiencing a holiday in tropical surrounding where we can just relax without the crowd. We loved staying at the ohana. It was clean, spacious, equipped with everything you ever need for a vacation exactly as described in the listing. The place was located in a quiet and safe hillside neighborhood overlooking a sunset on the Pacific ocean. It was a perfect place for us as it was truly private, peaceful, and comfortable. We were close to nature but not far from everything. Spending a breezy sunny day looking at the ocean from the lanai, listening to sounds of birds and roosters while enjoying home cooked meals was so special. We felt like being at home and relaxing. Caryl and John did everything they could to create a tropical vacation experience for their guests. From the ohana setting surrounded by palms and tropical plants, tropical theme decoration, coconut shampoo and conditioner, cocoa butter body wash to various kind of tropical fruit flavor herbal teas. They provided tropical fruits, Hawaiian granola, Hawaiian coffee, and almond milk (with consideration that someone could be allergic to soy or dairy products) to welcome their guests. This special welcome spoke loudly of their attention to detail. The hospitality and convenience we got at the ohana was more than what we could get from typical resorts. We were aware that John and Caryl have put a lot of thought to create a positive experience for their guests starting from providing information to help us prepare for vacationing in the area, ensuring that our stay is comfortable and restful, all the way to accommodating for our convenience until the day we left Kona. The hospitality we received from John and Caryl is a precious memory for us. We still keep the ohana in our thought until today and look forward to go back to the ohana again in the near future. Thanks to John and Caryl for the thoughtfulness and unmatched hospitality.
