Why they chose this property
The minute we saw Ala Kai B&B we knew it was our dream home. It is located in an amazing rain forest with tropical gardens across from the street from the ocean. The main home has a wrap around lanai (porch) that is ideal for social gatherings where we can watch whales, dolphins and turtles. The Ohana Cottage is quiet, private and located in a manicured garden.
