We just returned from a week at Ohana Beach House, and had a great time. I previously lived in Kailua, and was a bit skeptical about being at the north end of the bay/beach, but the location turned out to be perfect. Far enough from the main Kalaheo Drive to be quiet and private, yet close to Safeway, about a 40 second walk to the beach down a private lane for a nice daily walk to Kalapawei Market, very few people on our piece of beach, etc. The neighbors were all really friendly and we felt at home. There was some construction going on next door that was a bit annoying, but that is not the fault of Ohana Beach House. The customer service was great. When we went to fire up the BBQ on the first night, there was no gas in the tank, but a quick phone call got that rectified the next day. All in all, we were extremely pleased with our choice. The only things we might recommend is a larger frying pan in the kitchen for cooking meals, a large salad bowl, making sure the BBQ is clean (we had to scrape and burn all the gunk off from the previous rental, and there was ALOT), and making sure there are ping-pong balls for the advertised ping pong table (hint - you can get some at Safeway down the street, and we left 1 behind). All minor issues, and we wouldn't hesitate to return. Thanks for being part of our great vacation. Mahalo!

What I liked best about the unit I rented was it was nicely appointed with all of the luxury items we needed to prepare meals, "hang out" at the beach and play table tennis. I really liked the way that this unit was decorated from the wall mirrors to the bedding and linens it was first class, Island comfort. The outdoor showers allowed us to remove beach sand before entering the unit which was a treat. My family really felt at home there and we had plenty of space to be together or have privacy. The customer service was terrific. I felt like we were well cared for. The location was perfect, a few steps from the beach and we could walk to the grocery store. The cockaroaches were expected and annoying, but we learned how to remove them and to keep our kitchen clear of food and scraps. Our snorkeling and Dolphin watching trip with Ocean Joy Cruises was spectacular and highly recommended.
