In Hawaiian, Ohana means “Family”.
When used to describe a structure it means accessory dwelling like an in-law suite or guest house.
There are generally two types of Ohanas in Hawaii.
-
Attached
An attached Ohana is “attached” to the main dwelling. This is quite common and found quite often in residential neighborhoods. Although the Ohana is attached, there can be no door or entryway between the two dwellings.

-
Detached
This is just as it sounds. The Ohana is detached from the main house. This is often the case on large properties.
