Our stay at the Mahana was WONDERFUL! First of all, the property host was very accommodating which is very much appreciated. Secondly, the purpose of our vacation was to relax and unwind and this unit brought it. The property location was perfect for what we came here for: private, quiet, clean, spacious and most of all, comfortable. There were times that we had the hot tub and the pool all to ourselves. Heated pool was a plus due to the occasional high wind and cooler evenings. Our kids LOVED that they had boogie board/beach chairs. They were so excited that the beach was literally our backyard. Super convenient and walkable stores. Check out Pappi’s Ohana cinnamon rolls a block away next to Texaco gas station, it’s amazing! When we felt we needed a little bit of crowd company, we just walked through a gate to the boardwalk for a little night life. My husband and I enjoyed Duke’s bar while the kids played soccer with other kids at other nearby hotel yard which was accessible to all. But our favorite part was going back to our place where there were peace and quiet. So we pretty much had the best of both worlds. Every morning we were greeted by birds while we had breakfast in the lanai listening to the ocean waves. During sunset, we chilled with our homemade cocktails to settle us in for the night. It’s definitely one the best vacations we’ve had that we will never forget. The only complain we have is that our vacation was too short. Wish we could’ve stayed longer. TY.
