Ohana house
The house was very clean and nice. Comfortable for our larger family. Communication was good with the owner as we had a few things that we discussed through text messaging. She responded quickly. The beach was beautiful and nice to have the shuttle.

Great condo, would definitely stay again.
We have stayed in this neighborhood several times and I do believe we liked this house the best so far. The house is very clean and the furniture is nice and they had everything you could possibly think of as far as cookware. They last house we stayed in didn't even have potholders! The only downside is when you have a house with that many people in it the fridge isn't really big enough to put drinks in with the amount of food. This house layout doesn't really have space for a second fridge but having like a large cooler you could put ice in on the front porch for drinks would be really a nice touch. That's not a complaint, I have no complaints, just a small suggestion. Owner is super nice and accommodating and very communicative. Enjoy your stay, we will be back!

Home away from home!
We traveled with 3 families with a total of 8 small children. We had everything we needed! The location of the pool was so convenient, the carts and beach accessories were perfect and the kitchen was stocked with anything you needed to prepare food. We loved the gated community and felt safe to let our older children ride their bikes and scooters. We have already talked about going back!

Beautiful spacious home that could accommodate 2 families. Steps away from the heated pool, easy and safe walk to the private beach access with bathrooms. Lots of beach gear to use, leave yours at home. Dollar store a walk away for ice and groceries. Very comfortable beds. Well stocked kitchen. We really enjoyed our week at Ohana and hope to be back!!

Safe & friendly community, close walking distance to private beach area, lovely sugar white beach perfect for the whole family. Unfortunately during our stay the weather was not on our side awfully cold in the 60’s thankfully Ohana beach house was the highlight of our stay far than perfect, everything was so organized and well kept from comfortable beds to charming home decor to fully stocked kitchen we couldn’t have been more comfortable anywhere else.

Wonderful experience
This house is super clean and all the furniture is so comfortable. Having access to the bikes for such a low cost is a tremendous blessing, and communication with the homeowner is great. My only criticism is that the house is crammed in the back corner of the cult-de-sac with no view from the spacious and otherwise amazing balconies. There really shouldn’t have been a house placed on this lot because the balconies literally face the side of the house next door which is only 10 feet away. This situation did not keep us from having one of the best vacations ever, though. Great experience overall.

Family Fun for all!
We enjoyed the Ohana House in Emerald Shores. The beach was beautiful. The pool was so enjoyable and so close. The house had plenty of room for us. 3 families. 6 adults, 6 children (including a baby). We could even put the little ones to bed and enjoy family board game time around the table. The kitchen was well stocked and the large table space was great. Plenty of beach toys, floaties, etc. The dvd selection was fantastic. Thank you for a great week in Miramar.

Must Stay!
Stayed at this beautiful property from July 20th through July 27th. We had 3 families stay here and each family just took a separate floor. The beach was literally a 5 min walk or a quick golf cart ride courtesy of the neighborhood. Pool was in the same cul-de-sac. Great place to stay and would definitely come back.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We came and rented a home in the gated Emerald Shores neighborhood and fell in love with it. Having two pools, a tennis court, a basketball court and the private beach pavilion with the restrooms and showers at the most beautiful beach in the United States ... what more could you ask for? So when this 5 bedroom home became available on the market for sale, right by the main pool, we jumped on it! After a total remodel, we are loving our vacation home and enjoying the time we are able to spend in it as a family.

What makes this property unique

Our neighborhood has its own private, deeded beach with one of the only private beach pavilions (Only for owner's and guests. Code needed for gates & restrooms) with bathrooms, showers, picnic tables, shade and seasonal snack bar. Having the restrooms right there on the beach is a huge benefit so that you don't have to leave and go clear back to your vacation rental. The beach is very comparable to those we have been to in Cancun, Hawaii, Cayman Islands and the USVI. We love that in Florida you do not need a passport and you do not have to struggle with a huge time change, high cost of airfare and with foods or cultures you are not familiar with. The home is so close to the beach it allows us to walk (5-10 mins.) and we never have to worry about finding parking. Also you are able to head back for a break from the sun and sand and then return again hassle free, a great benefit for those of us traveling with kids or elderly family members.
