House was perfect for our large family (7 adults, 3 kids, 1 infant). The walk to the beach was not ideal but doable. The shuttle however was great help. Suggestions: 1. a shelf for everyone's shoes right inside the main door would be great, since you have a no shoe policy. 2. Some crab crackers in the kitchen would be helpful. We ordered takeout crab legs twice but had no way to crack them open. Overall, we really enjoyed the house and our stay.

Perfect for Our Family Getaway!We had a fantastic stay! The house was beautifully organized and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed. Mindy was an incredible host—super helpful and responsive. The walk to the beach was lovely, and when we didn’t feel like walking, the tram was a super convenient option. Plus, we were just minutes away from great restaurants and coffee spots. We couldn’t have asked for a better location or experience

The property is in a great location and the home was spotless. Mindy was very responsive to all my questions. She made sure to have everything you would need for a beach day there . The only real complaint besides the wifi being non existent outside the first floor ,was all the house rules. Mindy has a lot and very specific rules and fees when you’re not compliant with the rules. It was just stressful to make sure everyone was following the rules to not get any additional fees especially with children in the home The rules should be known upfront so guest can make an informed decision before renting.

We are glad you enjoyed your stay. It is unfortunate you felt stress caused by our "rules" and "fees". When you book our home you sign a contract and agree to all of the rules and fees. As far as fees go, I only pass on the fee the HOA charges me if you put garbage into the outside cans that are not in garbage bags. I provide garbage bags so that you can easily abide by the HOA rules. There is a rule to not climb on the roof, for safety reasons. We also ask guests to put sunscreen on outside, keep food in eating areas (not bedrooms, as the bugs come marching in for any crumbs) and to not wear shoes on the carpeted areas. This allows guest to have a clean experience all through the summer. We clean the carpets twice a year, but can't clean it during the high season when guests are staying back to back. We also ask that you clean the BBQ if you use it, or we pass on the fee that the cleaning company charges us for cleaning it. We feel that these our reasonable requests and list these all in our documents our guests agree to during booking.

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.

inaccurate description

She listed 5 beds in bedrooms 3 and 5 but there was only 3 beds in those bedrooms. everything else was great, owner was responsive and was quick to answer questions. Great location, pools were great. We had a great time.

I apologized that the icon description of the bed configuration was incorrect. However, the detailed description that was found just below the icon pictures gave a correct, detailed description of the bed setups in all of the bedrooms. It is clearly stated that the home sleeps 14. The guest had 13 people in their party. The icon description has been corrected. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.

Great property!

The house was the perfect size for our needs. The host provided wagons and community tram were so helpful going back and forth to the beach with all your supplies. Really enjoyed the pavilion and private bathrooms as well. Mindy was extremely responsive in answering questions in record time. She addressed any issues immediately with a solution and was very easy to work with. Know before you go that no tents are allowed on the Emerald Shores private beach area. Like most places in 30A, it's all about renting umbrellas and chairs. Definitely not the homeowners fault, but be aware and plan accordingly.

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!

We were so happy we stayed at this house for our family vacation! Provided enough space for all 14 of us. Steps away from the pool and so close to the beach - either by walking or tram. The house provided all the necessary items for the beach and in the kitchen. Would gladly stay here again.

Relaxing

The home was in a gated, quite community. The furnishing were top notch with room for 6 adults and 6 kids. Walking distance to the beach with plenty of beach toys. The grill was fabulous. The guys all have grill envy now.

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!

Spring Break 2022

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!!

There was thirteen in our party. Plenty of sleeping room. My elderly parents loved the house and especially the golf cart pick up and drop off! The beach was beautiful but a bit crowded i thought. Kitchen was fully equipped. Great location to the pool. Would stay here again!
