The Hawaiian word for family is ohana and we affectionately call our home, O2 or Ohana 2, as it is our family vacation home and we would love to share it with the you!
Marvel at the shimmering Pacific Ocean and tropical Kohala Coast views from our inside living space as it opens onto the lanai where you can just kick back, relax, swim in the salt-water infinity swimming pool (heated with no additional cost), enjoy the Hawaiian sunset from the outdoor dining area, and end the night stargazing from our spa sipping. Our luxury home has a seamless indoor-outdoor living plan.
Recently remodelled and newly furnished in an open-concept style. Relax in our living room with comfortable seating to enjoy our large screen HDTV with cable, DVD, stereo system and Xbox 360 or sit at our games table adjacent to the TV area and play your favourite board/card games while listening to Hawaiian music.
When you have won (or sadly lost) the last hand, move from the games table closer to the kitchen and sit at our O2 bar, one of our two granite topped islands in the kitchen. This bar/service area features a wet bar, wine fridge and elevated counter area that easily seats 4-6 family/friends.
Enjoy cooking in our fully equipped designer kitchen with granite countertops throughout. There are two cooking "triangles" and our kitchen features a Viking range, Sub-Zero fridge, Bosch microwave and Bosch dishwasher. You can also prepare Big Island local fare on the outside gas grill on the lanai one step from the kitchen for your convenience.
Of course, if you prefer not to cook the award winning restaurants of the Manna Kea and Hapuna Price resorts are at your service!
We have a HDTV (on a swivel bracket) in the kitchen that you watch from the bar or the dining table. The dining table seats 8 comfortably. There are sliding patio doors on two slides of the dining area and a panoramic window on the third. All outward views from the dining table are of the Pacific Ocean and Kohala Coast. You can also enjoy your meals at the lanai dining table which seats 6. We usually dine with 8 easily and roll 2 chairs from the games table. We enjoy watching the Mauna Kea sunset and the pool lights from the lanai dining area. We also have up-lit some of the palm trees in the back yard with beautiful effect. They are lit in a way that doesn't disturb the nightly galaxy of stars show!
The house is air conditioned throughout (central air) and each of the beautifully designed four bedrooms have full bathrooms (three en-suite), ample closet space, and HDTVs.
There is a laundry room at the back of the kitchen which houses a washer and dryer. You can also reach this through the double-car garage as it is a main thoroughfare into the kitchen from the garage.
The master bedroom with a king size bed opens directly (2 sets of sliding glass doors) onto the back lanai with the pool and spa. Wake up to ocean views along the North Kohala Coast with Maui majestically appearing in the distance. If you want to catch up on TV or Netflix, there is an HDTV on the dresser against the wall across the from the bed.
The master bathroom has a double vanity, soaking tub, separate toilet and walk-in shower. One of the sides of the indoor shower is a glass door that leads into a private area with an outside shower and meditation bench. Many times in our stay, we use this as a place for all to shower off after a day at the beach before we jump into the...

I wanted to celebrate a milestone birthday with my 3 sisters and spouses. O2 was perfect for my group. We enjoyed preparing meals in the well laid out kitchen, visiting on the lanai, swimming in the pool, etc. Everyone had their own private space to retreat to and the bathrooms were roomy.
I also have to commend the owner and manager for the ample supplies of soap, tissues, paper towels, etc.
Another added feature was the ability to obtain privileges at both the Hapuna Westin and Mauna Kea beach hotel facilities.
Our stay here will be a very fine memory for years to come.

Hosts are fabulous as is the property manager. This house never disappoints with a great location, spectacular ocean views, and sunsets that pictures cannot adequately capture.

We traveled with a group of 8 plus a baby and this house was absolutely perfect! So spacious and beautiful. The access to the Mauna Kea and Westin was also such a nice perk as well! The property manager got back to us right away with any questions we had and was so helpful. Will definitely be booking again!

We stayed at this beautiful home with our children for a week and everything was amazing. The views are spectacular. The kids spent hours at a time in the pool and spa. We even got a few games of shuffle board in. The garage had some umbrellas, beach chairs and beach toys, and there were plenty of bath and beach towels. We also paid for use of the Mauna Kea Resort and Westin where umbrellas or towels are provided. The house was well equipped with everything you need in the kitchen, a nice Weber propane bbq, first aid kit and more. It was nice having TVs and cable in all the bedrooms, but most of our time was spent outside. Check in and check out were a breeze. The property managers were super friendly and helpful. We’ll definitely stay again. Thank you for sharing your amazing home!

This home is amazing, from the house itself, to the pool, to the location, to the incredible 180-degree views of the sunset over the west coast of the island!! I literally teared up the first time I walked into the living room, knowing that I had chosen the perfect house for our first Hawaii family vacation! The pictures do not do it justice. The house was spotless when we arrived. It had everything we needed including linens, paper products, and laundry detergent, along with lots of spices and cooking supplies. The kitchen was the largest and best one I've ever seen. There was snorkel gear, beach chairs, boogie boards, and beach coolers. And the on-island concierge was incredibly helpful throughout our stay. All 9 of us LOVED staying here!! It was so hard to pack up and leave!! We would all recommend this house for the best family vacation ever!! Thank you for sharing your home with us!!

Walking into this beautiful home, we gazed at the inviting infinity pool with the gorgeous Pacific in the distance. Our jaws dropped! Spectacular! The house is well equipped and expansive. It worked perfectly for our family of 10, ages 7 to 77. Kathleen Leahy, the house manager, had our grocery order already put away when we arrived. She was wonderful—responding immediately to any issue. The beaches of Hapuna and Mauna Kea were really close for swimming and snorkeling. We used the pool and the hot tub every day. Having an outdoor shower meant that we didn’t track in sand. It would be difficult to find a more welcoming or more beautiful place. We hope to be back soon!

We have been to this part of the island many times over the years. This is the first time we stayed on property with VRBO. We generally stay in one of the resorts.
Great decision.
The house was amazing. Views and sunsets and pool were great. Super quiet. Gated community. Access to Happuana beach/hotel was about 3 minutes. Mauna Kea was about 5.
This place gives you options. Hang out at the house pool…stay and cook on-site or drive a few minutes to one of the hotels and spend your day at the pool bar/beach/dining. You have to purchase resort access which was totally reasonable.
Fantastic memories and fun
Property manager and owner were very helpful and nice.
We want to come back soon. Thank you!
Aloha

This was our second trip to the same area and was not disappointed with the amazing views and beauty of the big island on this property!
