A place for family
Posted on: Monday, August 29, 2011
July and August were months for guest family and friends. We have been extremely fortunate to have hosted several wonderful large family groups and one incredible reunion these last two months. In each case, the guests rent the entire house so that each couple has their own private room, but end up spending loads of time together on the pool lanai for communal meals and relaxation.
Ken and I love to see our guests enjoying this beautiful property in this way. Luana Inn is really the perfect property for such gatherings: family reunions, retreats, small weddings and receptions. It’s a fabulous party house! The way the property is designed, each couple can feel they can get away from it all and escape to their own private, quiet space, yet come together on the huge lanai when they wish to. The grounds are spacious enough that guests don’t feel they’re right on top of one another: you can stroll down the driveway to look at our fruit trees, walk through the beautiful yards or simply hang out on the grass.
We’ve had guests do yoga, meditate, and sunbathe on each of the side yards. The Ohana Cottage has its own little patio, and we’ve also got the huge Guest Common Room (Great Room) which all of our large groups have used. The Great Room is a huge space, excellent for relaxing in when it’s raining out, or just for working on the computer or reading. We’ve conducted hula class and massage and a wedding makeup session in this lovely space.
The reunion we hosted threw an amazing luau complete with live band and about forty guests. The wedding we hosted also had about forty guests. The wedding was conducted on the ocean-facing front yard in front of the wedding arch, and the reception was held on the lanai, complete with tables, buffet, and live music under the covered area. For such events, guests have parked on the grass yard in back. There is plenty of convenient parking on this property.
It’s such a pleasure to see these wonderful families and old friends relaxing on the lanai, playing in the pool, and enjoying themselves here. We really love hosting our wonderful guests, and it is deeply satisfying and inspiring to be able to be the backdrop to their well-deserved week or two or relaxation, contemplation, and celebration. That’s what we’re here for.
