The ohana is exactly as pictured. It is located in a nice, quiet neighborhood about an hour from Honolulu. We found it worth the drive. The ohana is a small house attached to a larger home on the property. The furnishings are new and it is decorated tastefully. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. The beach is beautiful & very private and an easy walk across the street. There is no AC but we did not find it to be a problem. There are a couple of ceiling fans and a freestanding fan in the house. There is a small strip mall that is walking distance with a grocery store, sandwich shop, movie theater and 7 Brothers Hamburgers, which we enjoyed several times while staying at the ohana! Restaurants and stores in the area close up fairly early. We did not meet Joe but he was great at communicating with us. He checked in with us a couple of times during our stay to be sure we were enjoying ourselves. Lindsay, who lives in the other house on the property was who greeted us when we first arrived. We appreciated the fact that Lindsay made it known that she was available for any needs we might have but she let us have our privacy while we were staying there. There are just a few things about the ohana on the outside we didn't like but they are things that don't keep me from recommending this house. Overall, it was a very, clean, comfortable stay.
