This place was absolutely perfect. Our group of 11 (adults and children) felt completely at home here and never felt like we were tripping over each other. Plenty of private space as well as gathering spaces. Great location! Close to Diamond Head, beaches and very easy access to the highway. Would definitely visit this place again!

Our entire party enjoyed the house and property. It was absolutely beautiful and lived up to all expectations. We enjoyed sitting outside every chance we got to take in the landscaping, waterfall and spa area.
The property was very convenient to Waikiki and just a few minutes to the H1 so we were able to get where we wanted to very quickly.
In fact we loved the place so much, we ate most of our meals at the house to take full advantage of everything it had to offer.
Hope to have an opportunity to come back and stay again some time.
Thanks to Ana and Rory for their hospitality!

My family and I recently stayed at Ohana Paradise over the Christmas holiday and it was simply AWESOME! We had 9 total people where we all had our own space yet their were multiple common areas where we could come together as family to eat, lounge, play games etc.... Being able to go sit on the back patio by the pool at any point of the day was sooo relaxing and very zen-like with the waterfall as the backdrop. The kitchen pretty much had everything you would need as well and with all the cabinets and drawers labeled, everything was so easy to find.
The location was PERFECT as well. My wife and I went on daily runs, thus the beautiful neighborhood provided great scenery along with being in close proximity to the Ocean and Diamond Head, we were able to leverage different routes making it seem like we were in a new place everyday.
Finally, Ana was the PERFECT host leading up to our time in Hawaii. She was extremely responsive with providing detailed answers to any question we had including recommendations on photographers for family photos and a chef. Upon our arrival, Rory met us at the property to walk us through the house to familiarize ourselves with anything that we needed to know which was great.
I would HIGHLY recommend this house for soooo many reasons and we would absolutely stay here again for future vacations to Hawaii!

We were a family group of 12 staying at Ohana Paradise for a week to celebrate our wedding in Hawaii in October. The house was amazing - in a lovely neighbourhood, it had everything we could possibly need to make our stay perfect. Ana was extremely helpful and went over and above to accommodate our needs, and Rory, the property manager, was a lovely lady who was very helpful and on hand if needed. The house was big enough for us all to enjoy spending time together, but also to have time apart if guests so wished. We particularly enjoyed spending time together around the pool and bbq area in the evenings. I can't recommend this property enough - you won't be disappointed!

We had a fantastic stay at Ohana Paradise for a multi generational family trip. We were warmly greeted by the property manager, Rory, and all the amenities provided made the house feel like we were at our own home. The layout of the house allowed for everyone to spend time together as a group but also gave everyone their own private space. The house was very clean and well maintained and we would definitely stay there again.

If you’re looking for a well-equipped, beautiful and relaxing home for a larger group, this is the place to stay! Ohana Paradise was spacious, clean, and very comfortable for our group. It’s exactly as pictured on the website. The common areas were large enough for all of us to easily spend time together while the bedrooms were spread out enough for us to keep our kids’ noises from waking the rest of the family. The location was perfect for exploring Waikiki (zoo and aquarium were 10 minutes away, shops were 15 minutes) without being in the middle of the busy area. Good eats were 10 minutes away and a small mall was 5 minutes away. The neighborhood was very peaceful and our kids loved the local beach. The house had everything we needed - sand toys, boogie boards, beach towels, BBQ grill, washer and two dryers. Plenty of seating inside and outside in the backyard. Ana was easy to communicate with and Rory, the property manager, was helpful with answering any questions we had during our stay.
We loved staying at Ohana Paradise and hope to return one day!

Just left this little piece of Heaven in Honolulu. Could not be happier with the place, property manager, and owner. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a five-star place in Hawaii.
We just loved the waterfall in the backyard. Makes you feel like you're in the middle of the wilderness. And there is a "wing" and a separate unit, so your kids can be far removed for mutual tranquility and happiness.
For nerds: the place has smoking fast Internet access. Like 275 megabits. Yeah, yeah, I know you're not supposed to be on the Internet while on vacation, but let's be honest: you want your Instagram posts to be lightning fast.
And I have to admit that I loved the washer/dryer that's there. So big. So fast. Two dryers actually. We came home cleaner than we left.
All in all, a great place to rent. You'll go long and far before you'll find a place this good.

We had 3 couples with 7 young children travel to Hawaii for a destination wedding. We were worried about finding a place that would be spacious enough for all of us but our worries were in vain. Ohana Paradise exceeded our expectations in every aspect.
First, the location of the house is unbelievably convenient. We were less than 15 minutes from the Waikiki and less than 5 minutes from the Diamond Head park and less than 25 min from Hanauma Bay which was perfect for couples that wanted to go out as well as families that wanted to spend time out enjoying the scenery.
Second, the house was spacious, well kept and very organized. All of the little details were thought of and made easy for out of town guests. From the laundry room, to the kitchen, to each room - everything was easy to find and we had no issues during our week stay.
Finally the outdoor area was absolutely beautiful, there was plenty of room inside and outside for all of 13 of us and we never felt cramped.
We had a great trip to Hawaii but it was made all the better because of the Ohana Paradise. I would highly recommend it and we would definitely stay there again when we make it back to Hawaii.

After speaking with Ana in March 2016, I knew this was the place! Renting a house for vacation is a sound choice given some of the hotel prices in Honolulu. Ohana Paradise is a family home in Paradise. It is exactly as pictured, immaculately clean and well appointed with fine furniture and artwork from a local artist.
The kitchen is fully stocked and labeled to find things quickly. The laundry room has 2 dryers, beach and pool towels were provided. There is a separate heated jacuzzi we enjoyed as the pool was cool to swim in at night (Jan). The waterfall is relaxing, the grounds & pool are impeccable.
The bedrooms were quiet and comfortable. You can hear the sound of the ocean from the Master BR in the morning. The bedrooms with a double bed and twin are set off on the 2nd floor which provides some quiet space. There were plenty of tvs and a Sonos system. The internet and phone service worked well and even a printer.
The Kahala area provides the best of both worlds, it is accessible to Waikiki and just blocks from the beach and Diamond Head trail. The house is a short drive to a mall with quaint shops, a movie theater, Whole Foods and restaurants including, “The Counter” a custom Burger place. It was a quick drive to H1 to get to Pearl Harbor, the airport, North Shore and about 15 min drive to Costco. We had a 7 passenger car which served us well, but you can easily take an Uber or Lyft for a reasonable price around town.
Joann was very helpful upon our arrival and getting us familiarized with the house and surrounding area. She was readily available and addressed any concerns within an hour during our stay.
Ana was exceptional throughout the planning of our stay and ultimately our wedding in Hawaii. She provided us with many references, having an impressive Hawaiian family. Ana was informative and positive, like talking to a best friend.
Ana’s cousin, Mark Salondaka was our photographer. He was professional, thorough and as you could guess, sincere and caring. We had our photos uploaded overnight and he hand delivered USB sticks to us the next day.
Ana’s Aunt, Iwalani Tseu was our officiant. Words cannot express how grateful we were to have Iwalani preside over our ceremony. Her magnificent presence and addition of Hawaiian traditions made our day special, if not perfect! Ohana, as the name implies, a place where families come together. The Spirit of Aloha was with us and we felt blessed to celebrate a new life together there.

The house itself was immaculately presented, well appointed and more impressive than it actually appears in the photos! The property and gardens are maintained to a high standard. Located in a quiet & pleasant neighbourhood, a short walk to Diamond Head and short drive to Waikiki.
We were a large group comprising of 3 families and Ana was wonderful in recommending babysitters, restaurants and sightseeing that suited our group perfectly. Joanne was also fabulous and extremely helpful a number of times - customer service at Ohana is 5 star!
I speak for all of our group in highly recommending this property. I would also suggest hiring a car given the location of this property and to maximise opportunity to see all of Oahu with ease.
We extend a sincere thank you to Ana and the team for making our stay most enjoyable and memorable.

My husband, I and 3 kids (13,11,6) stayed at Ohana paradise and it was truly a wonderful experience. The property is so we'll taken care of, the furniture is clean, the grounds are beautifully manicured. Very easy to get to and ato the highway and to Waikiki is easy. Everything that you need, even beach towels are provided. It is clear that the owners take pride in their property. We would definitely return!

This was the best family vacation ever! The home is simply amazing. More importantly was how Ana truly helped in planning everything. From dinners to a daily housekeeper Ana went above and beyond in every way possible! Tips such as stock up at Costco and her sending turn by turn directions from the airport - to arranging dinner reservations at the best restaurants in the area with the best table and desert on the house! ( I highly recommend Michel's!) I could go on and on with example after example. We will 100% be back next year! I have stayed in several very nice vacation rentals and not one comes even close to this experience!
Joanne the property manager also went above and beyond keeping in touch to ensure our stay was going well. I can not say enough positives about this experience. When we checked in we were greeted by Joanne who gave us a detailed tour of the property and explained everything about the home. When Joanne left we realized we had a large basket of local goodies that Ana had sent!
Both Ana and Joanne went above and beyond! Ana - I can not thank you enough for a wonderful vacation. If anyone would like to use me as a reference they can call me direct on my cell. Brett Sutherlin 310-429-5227.
Thank you Ana! Can't wait until we are back at Ohana Paradise next year!!

We were welcomed to the home by Joann - the property manager. We were greeted by a large welcome basket filled with Hawaiian coffee, candies and cookies and assorted other Hawaiian goodies. The home is luxuriously appointed with new furnishings. The home is also filled with wonderful artwork from a local artist. We had six adults and 2 children staying for the majority of our ten day stay, however it could have accommodated four additional adults easily. It was a very comfortable home. The backyard was spectacular, it has a pool, a spa and most wonderful of all a waterfall. There are many places to lounge and relax with great furnishing for sitting or simply enjoying the sun. The Kahala area is very convenient Waikiki and Diamond Head. Our morning walks consisted of walking to the lighthouse below Diamond Head and back to the house. During this walk, we joined the many joggers and walkers exercising or simply enjoying the beautiful scenery. There is a beach within a few blocks, however there is no real way to enjoy this beach area. During high tide, there is virtually no sand, just water and rocks. There is a public beach just before you get to the golf course. This is less than a five minute drive. During our stay - if we required any assistance, we simply called Joann and she responded immediately. Our Ohana had a wonderful stay at the Ohana Paradise.

The house, yard, pool and jacuzzi were awesome! The house is large enough to accommodate multiple families, and is in a great location close to the beach, the mall, restaurants etc. . It was spacious, clean, beautiful, and had all of the amenities that we could have ever wanted. We will definitely be returning to this beautiful house again.
