Please do yourself a favor and don’t stay anywhere else. We stayed in 3 different properties at 3 locations (Princeville, Poipu and Paul’s place), and you just can’t beat the location. Especially if you are traveling with young children (mine are 8 months and 3 yo). It’s a walking distance to a children’s lagoon on the ocean, playground, shops, restaurants, and a bakery. The house is on the water and you can access kayaks to go down the river without having to go and rent it anywhere (what a hassle that would be with two kids!). The house was so welcoming, the grounds (although shared with a few other cottages and an inn) are beautiful. We saw a gardener every day - they take maintaining the yard very seriously. There are fruit trees. Although it’s not a summer season we were still able to enjoy star fruits, oranges, kumquats, pomegranates.
The house was prepared so well for our arrival. They decorated it with fresh flowers and petals and even got us beers and pizza! Small touches. But they tell you just how thoughtful Paul is.
We were able to use the bikes and helmets provided by Paul and ride on a special biking path along the ocean.
The house is located close to a busy road and you could hear the cars swishing by. But it didn’t bother us at all. We kept the windows closed and each room has a fan and AC so it wasn’t hot. We also had to be careful not to let our kid run outside in the yard unsupervised because the road is quite close to the house, and there is no gate. But we managed fine.
Overall we loved it and hope to stay at the Ohana again.
