Ohana Trip

Everything about the home was great. Family space that fits everyone. Something I love having is the ability for our family to fall asleep in the parlor.The only thing I think needed for families are to add family sized cookware

Keaau getaway/one AC unit

*Does not have central AC (although it was advertised as having central AC), but instead has one AC unit in combined living room/ dining room/ kitchen area, and none in the bedrooms. *Only has plastic dishes, and only very large and very small bowls but none the average size for cereal. *Ceramic coffee cups, but only has single-cup coffee maker. *I bought drinking water (35-50 cents per refill gallon) because water is from catch basin . They do have UV water filter etc. on-site. *Was told after I arrived that I needed to drop off garbage at transfer station (garbage dump). I was quite surprised because I have stayed at many other places in Hawaii and have never been told this, and this unit charged the most for cleaning fee. At the end of my week's stay, I was told I could leave garbage in the garage on check-out day for cleaning staff. *Unit was newly built with nice garage to park car. *They had an outdoor grill, but there was a note In check-in instructions that said I would need to purchase gas for grill if tank was empty. I didn’t use grill but there was gas in the tank.

Enjoyable

Amazing is pretty much what needs to be said about this place . Straight home away from home . Everything was so comfortable from couch to beds . Enough space for my family and I. . Everything provided to make our stay less stressful . So peaceful and relaxing The place was cool inside didn't need to use the air conditioning. If we ever return to Hawaii I hope this spot will be available. Mahalo
