With family located in Melbourne, Australia and New York, Hawaii was selected as the most convenient and desirable for our long planned 3 generation family reunion vacation. With children from baby to 7 year olds and parents and grandparents we needed space, pool, garden and outdoor living area - Hale Luana exceeded our expectations and ensured a fantastic 14 day Oahu experience for all ages. This home is well represented on the listing - but it is actually better than that when you are there.

Alix met us on day one and she introduced the home and facilities to us and was wonderfull to deal with during the whole process - thank you Alix for the opportunity to stay in this special home and location!

The house was perfect for our extended family with rooms and space to allow everyone to do their own thing without feeling crowded. The children enjoyed the attractive outdoor garden areas in front and back of the house and the pool was in constant use by all. The bedroom and bathroom setup worked very well for us all. The kitchen is very well fitted out and we enjoyed many meals at the house. Most meals took place on the patio area overlooking the garden, pool and long views to the hills and coast - so peacefull and relaxing! The barbeque/grill was put to good use on a regular basis.

The location of the property is conveniently located to easily visit many areas - not being familiar with Oahu we enjoyed searching out nearby attractions. A good Foodland supermarket is just down the hill opposite the beach, a great selection of food trucks is just next door to the supermarket. It is a short drive south to Waimea Beach and Valley and not much further south to Haleiwa town. A short drive north to Sunset Beach and Pipeline and only a bit further north to Turtle Bay and then around to Laie and Polynesian Cultural Centre.

And many more things to discover - turtles, horse riding, surf, rock pools. sandy beaches.

A great house, location and area and a wonderfull family vacation. Thanks again Alix, maybe we can do this again before too long!
