What People Are Saying
from Google"We love Ohana! What an amazing place for the Seacoast community and moms! You walk in, you see comfy couches, a series of play houses, tables with cute chairs, coffee and snacks in the back - everything is designed to make it easy! Our 2.5 year old can play here for hours. Rebecca creates seasonal sensory bins, speciality drinks, and has little treats for purchase. Ohana by the Sea is the perfect place to sit down as a mom and know that your child can have so much fun! My favorite thing is being able to get a coffee, let our little do a craft, and recharge for the rest of the day! A million ⭐️ review!"
