We had a wonderful weekend at the Aptos Ohana. The getaway at the ohana was a perfect birthday treat for my boyfriend with all the right ingredients. Linda and Kevin were delightful people, and it was a joy to learn of our shared connection to Hawaii. Linda communicated with us right up to the time we were on the road to Aptos to ensure we knew the best route to take, and when we arrived, she gave us a detailed walkthrough (and a cold beer) of our beautiful retreat spot. I was touched to see that Linda had placed a Happy Birthday decoration and chocolates on one of the nightstands to mark the occasion. She also chilled a bottle of Prosecco for us.

The surroundings are perfect and we took full advantage of the outdoor space – soaking in the hot tub in the early morning, showering in the garden shower, having coffee and breakfast overlooking the wooded canyon, walking the easy path to the beach in the afternoon, and sitting by the glowing fire at night. Linda also provides a generous assortment of food and beverages for breakfast and snacks (even the makings for s’mores over the fire) which made it easy to plan for the weekend. It was nice to wake up and have breakfast supplies ready to go without having to venture away from our little paradise first thing in the morning.

I highly recommend Linda’s ohana and would go back again in a heartbeat.
