Ohana Hale is approximately five miles to Kona Town. Kona town has the resort amenities for your vacation, yet, is quiet and quaint enough so you can relax. You will NOT find row after row of night clubs. You will find restraints, eateries, shops and historical points of interest which wind along the Kona Coast. Have a drink as the sun sets, and then dine in the warmth of the evening.

Ohana Hale (Family House), was designed with the nuclear family in mind, although it works well for other arrangements too. The tropical decor of the central living/sleeping area is based on the concept of Hawaiian family life. The large kitchen opens to a great room, much like a "family room." The two queen beds are on the left side of the room. There are two large comfortable bamboo chairs, pillows for those who like sitting on the floor which face the armoire (TV) on the right side of the room. The fully equipped kitchen is sectioned off by a breakfast bar, which makes the area very open. This allows you to cook and socialize at the same time!

The two queen beds are on the left side of room and the armoire and sitting area on right. Kitchen adjacent and opens into Ohana Room. The formal living/dining room are in an area of its own. Even the keiki (children), have their own "formal" living area, referred to as the "Keiki Corner." If you need to tell your kids, to "get in the corner," they will enjoy the books, games and puzzles stored there!

The Big Island is the youngest in the chain of Hawaiian Islands. A driving trip around the Island will take you to natural sites not seen anywhere else. The Big Hawaii is rich in culture and beauty. We have waterfalls cascading into pools nestled amidst the natural rain forest. Mauna Kea is the highest point in the United States. There is skiing in the winter (Hawaii, winter?)! It is also home to Mauna Kea observatory, where there are tours and other educational shows. South Point, the southern most point of the United States neighbor to Green Sands Beach (put on your hiking boots!). Don't forget to walk the crater at Volcano National Parks. Or just walk down the street and snorkel at Kahalu'u beach in the turtle sanctuary. This and much more!

If you are inclined to spending your money, you can parasail, or spending the day fishing on one of the many fishing boats. There are helicopter tours, ATV riding into Waipio Valley, horseback riding or hiking tours. You can kayak or shop at the farmers market or spend the day or week golfing.

Whatever you choose to do, Kailua Kona lends itself well to families and couples alike!
