Villa Ohana: 4br beachfront bliss with pool

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The home was spotless, comfortable, and had everything our family needed. It was especially great for our children, with plenty of space to relax and enjoy themselves. The hosts were accommodating and made the entire experience seamless from check-in to check-out. The biggest highlight was being located within Rancho Santana. Having easy access to the beautiful beaches, incredible restaurants, family-friendly activities, and the overall safety and security of the community made our vacation even more enjoyable. It truly was the cherry on top. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay and would happily return. Highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing, family-friendly getaway!

Family of 5 from Westchester, NY had a terrific time! House is perfectly located. Private and on the ocean but almost next door to the main Rancho Santana Inn and Santana Beach. Kids were able to walk over to the Inn and we could all pop over for a meal. House is stunning, pictures may undersell it. We had 5 people and didn’t use the bedroom next to the pool at all (wished we brought another couple). Host was proactive and super responsive. Can’t find a better spot at RS. Housekeeper lives in separate building on the property and always available if needed (otherwise you don’t see him) and place just feels super safe. Would not stay anywhere else if we are fortunate enough to make it back.

My husband and I absolutely loved our stay at Villa Ohana! We enjoyed the privacy of our villa, but also easily walkable to Rancho Santana restaurants, pools, and one of the beautiful resort beaches. Best of both worlds!!! Communication with the host was great! Everything was just as described, and always a quick response to our questions. The house staff- David and Gloria- work hard to make everything pristine. They were attentive without being in the way. David brought fresh mangos to us on the first day, and Gloria served them to us by the pool. We could not ask for better service or a better destination. I hugged Gloria when we left, and told her that we would be back!!!

Villa ohana is one of the best properties at rancho Santana. The master, pool room, and pool looks directly at first peak, the walk to the club house is less than a minute, and it’s classic rancho Santana style. Even though it’s pricier than some options, you get what you pay for. You can hear the ocean, see the ocean, and walk to the ocean. David is a fantastic gardener. He keeps the grounds immaculate and is always willing to help you with anything you need. He’ll even wash your truck without asking if it’s dirty. Maria keeps the kitchen spotless and all the bedrooms and bathrooms are cleaned daily. Both are wonderful people. The overlook upstairs has an even better view of the surf break and is a great place to look at the stars. I would definitely stay here again and plan on doing so. If this property is available—book it! You won’t regret it.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem in the Perfect Location Villa Ohana is truly a dream: the location is unmatched, with a private walking pathway leading straight to the restaurant and clubhouse. It felt like our own slice of paradise. The home felt like a resort within a resort, surrounded by a beautifully maintained garden and absolutely breathtaking views. James and David were incredibly helpful, and Gloria kept everything clean. The area is peaceful, extremely secure, and full of charm. A true gem inside the luxurious gates of Rancho Santana. My family and I are so happy we found this home and can’t wait to return!

Villa Ohana provides a one of a kind vacation experience. We really enjoyed the location (close to Rancho Santana’s main hub, 3min walk to the beach, incredibly scenic views). Gloria and David who help meticulously maintain the property were very friendly and helpful. Gloria is an excellent cook so definitely inquire about her when staying. James was a very responsive host who helped out when we needed it. Definitely recommend getting the Rancho Santana resort passes so you can use their resort services on demand (rides to and from airport, great restaurants, tours/excursions, surf rentals, etc). Would (hopefully will) stay again!

We had a wonderful stay. James was amazing throughout from planning our arrival from the airport to helping with suggestions on where to go and what to do. David and Gloria were the greatest. Gloria cooked us fabulous meals and David helped if we had any questions with the home or the surrounding area. Villa Ohana was a great location, and very peaceful.

Villa Ohana is the hidden gem of the Rancho Santana property! We stayed there for a week for a friend's wedding at the resort and we were so pleased with our stay. The delightful walking path shortcut that leads directly to the resort for meals / massages was amazing. The wedding itself was right in the main grassy area at the resort, so we were able to sneak away and jump in Villa Ohana's pool in the middle of the wedding to cool off and get right back without being caught 😂. David and Gloria the caretakers of the property are amazing, always available to help with anything you might need. The rooms were all great and well kept. A/C's worked perfectly too! James the property manager was super responsive and helpful with any and all questions we had prior to the trip (I had A LOT 😬). 10/10, stay here. You're never gonna wanna leave the pool.

Great location with an incredible view. We really enjoyed the pool and how convenient it was to walk to the restaurants and beach.

This place is great! James was exceedingly helpful in the weeks prior to our visit. Thank you James! The house is beautiful and the folks taking care of it are lovely. Everything worked well, with the exception of the WiFi which was slow and only really available in the kitchen — not a big deal for us though; we have phones for hot spots & it meant that we enjoyed the resort (and the cafe) for our early morning work calls. Being walkable to the resort’s main restaurant, cafe & tienda was great for us & our teenage kids. We paid the resort fee for use of the big pool, a few of the complimentary tours & the sand boarding. It was worth it for us to have the convenience (esp with teenagers…) but totally not necessary. The pool is beautiful and so well maintained. We spent HOURS in it, enjoying the gorgeous sunset & watching surfers. Quick tip: if you are a long boarder (or just getting started..) there’s a gorgeous chill surfing spot at Mag Rock. Taxi can get you to/from and you can rent longboards on site. They also do lessons; the same instructor I had for lessons at Rancho Santana was working there — if you do make it to Mag Rock, I recommend the less-fancy of the two rental spots; nice boards, people are chill and very knowledgeable.
