Good for a girls weekend

My friends and I had a good time here, comfy beds and nice warm house with all the things you need and more. Some TLC required around the house plus new pool cues and darts are needed.

The Ohana home

ooh beautiful stay OHANA. Beautiful gem, so highly recommend The Ohana home. My children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews so enjoyed our stay/ time together at the Ohana home. It sure is a beautiful hidden gem. We were so entertained, snuggled up, and catering for a large group was a breeze, just like cleaning The Ohana home was a breeze too. Thoroughly luxurious stay.
