This home was perfect for my extended family of 14 with lots of room to spread out. Andrew was super helpful and gave us an informative tour around the property. The home had all the amenities we needed including beach supplies. Would highly recommend this place for a large family. Thank you Andrew for the hospitality!
This is a huge house! We all had spacious private bedrooms that included bathrooms and kitchenettes. The great rooms in the center of both levels allowed plenty of space for family interaction and both kitchens were well appointed and served our meal prep needs well. The only thing that was lacking was a dishwasher on the lower level, so the upper kitchen’s dishwasher was running nonstop. Both levels had complete laundry facilities, which was great for the families with children. Outside, the grounds are beautiful, the pool is lovely, and the fresh fruit we harvested was divine. The location was perfect for us: just a short walk to beaches and a fun restaurant. I would love to return to the Ohana Retreat someday!
We loved our stay at the Ohana Retreat! Gorgeous spacious property with all the amenities you could think of! Do the initial tour with Andrew! He takes you around the orchard to show you all the different fruits you can pick and eat at your stay. And at the end he has a nice sampler
Our extended family stayed at Ohana Retreat as a final vacation with our terminally ill father. It was perfect and Andrew was a star Manager! He was kind enough to allow my parents to have a very late check out to accommodate the airline changing their flight schedule - and he even gave them a ride to the airport!!! Over the top accommodations! The pool and facility were exactly as promoted and it fit our 4 families (17 people) very well! Would definitely stay here again!
The house is super clean and private. The property manager-Andrew is fantastic. The owners are responsive and professional. I’d recommend this property to a family who has enough people to rent both houses. ( The house is across the street from the ocean but the rocky shore line makes access a challenge.)I’d recommend getting a chef for the week and the other luxuries offered in resorts (tennis pro, fitness instructor, family photographer, daily housekeeping, sprinter van with a tour guide). The tennis court and plantation are really nice. My only constructive comments are the house seems sterile. I would have loved some floor rugs, artwork to feel more lush. The property is perfect-just need to decorate the house to make it feel like a home and luxurious.
We brought our entire family to this home for a week. We researched everything and this house ticked all of our boxes. We enjoyed every moment! This property was perfect for all age groups.
Our extended family loved the stay. Property manager very accommodating and helpful in pointing out places to go and helping with any minor issue around the property.
Lots of space. Great for a large group. Fruit trees great. Outdoors great! Equipment provided great! Lots of places to meet. This was the best for a large family. Get to bed early and get up early.
This property is perfect for large groups and for events. The fruit on the property was wonderful and we loved that we could pick what we wanted. The communication with the booking agent was great as we had lots of questions because we were going to celebrate an event and also we had several small kids/babies. They had an amazing amount of supplies for the beach, for the event and for the recreation on the property. The manager was wonderful and responded to us very quickly. We were very happy here!
We had our wedding at the Ohana Retreat in November of 2016 and it was perfect - there were several large common spaces where we could spend time as a group and everyone had their own personal space as well since each room has a bathroom and lanai attached.
Booking with Carolyn was very easy and she was super helpful, sending a payment schedule and reminders. Miguel and Ariana that take care of the property helped everything go smoothly the day of the wedding and were kind enough to assist with all manner of tasks big and small throughout our stay. The tour of the property and fruit trees was excellent -another great feature of the property by the way, we had bananas, tangerines, star fruit and more picked from the property.
The house is in a great location, close to tons of restaurants, shops and beautiful beaches. Our guests could choose to have an ultra relaxing vacation and loaf at the house most of the time, or they could keep busy every day, snorkelling with manta rays, visiting the volcano, driving to Hilo, etc etc
I can't recommend it enough, we can't wait to go back!
We had our wedding at Ohana Retreat in May 2016, and the experience can only be described as fabulous! Before arriving, Carolyn was very responsive to questions and helpful with our planning. Upon arrival, the property managers (Ariana and Miguel) were wonderful - the house was immaculate, and all the details were taken care of. The amenities were great - we were happy to have a selection of bikes, toys for the pool, beach towels, and the list goes on! The property is even more beautiful than the pictures depict. Our guests were in love with the plantation, and the tropical paradise of this property, which is well-removed from the busy Ali'i Drive but still convenient to walk to the beach. We highly recommend this property for a family get-together or a small wedding.
