Stayed at the Red O’hana for 10 days, group of 7. The room arrangement worked out great for us and the location was perfect for all our activities. Laura was easy to communicate with and was quick to respond. Thank you Laura! We had a great stay.

Lovely home in Waimea
This is a great place to stay in Waimea. Beautiful setting and immaculate home. Our host left a fabulous book of information about the big island which included local favorites and must do activities. We did a lot of driving because our activities were down in Volcano National Park and in Kona, but coming back to our restful house and eating locally each evening was perfect

At the top of my five star ratings was Laura, the property manager. She knows this island very well and readily shared her thoughts. More than a property manager, she was the best concierge for our group of Girl Scouts, moms and younger siblings.

House was as pictured- and comfortable. Had a couple blips- but these were addressed quickly. A little noise from roosters and early am car traffic. But overall had a great stay here. Easy access to everything we wanted to do- and some great restaurants right in Waimea.

Island paradise
Red Ohana is the perfect location to see everything on the Big Island, while providing a lovely and restful retreat. The house is spectacularly clean and well appointed with lovely Hawaiian touches. There are grocery stores just a few miles away in Waimea and a Wednesday and Saturday farmers market with wonderful fruit, veggies, and fish to purchase. Laura was a perfect host - super kind and helpful. Excellent base to attend the Hawai’i Performing Arts Festival.

Perfect Waimea Getaway For Our Wedding Party!
My husband and I got married at Anna Ranch Heritage Center in Waimea and booked both Red Ohanas for our wedding party. It was the perfect weekend and we can’t thank Laura enough for a magical place to stay! Very comfortable beds, fluff and fold + cleaning service throughout, and a fantastic location. We will definitely return in years to come :)

Delightful stay in Waimea
We stayed in the 3 bedroom/ 2 bath Red Ohana property. The home is spacious, spotless, and includes all the amenities we needed. Laura is a great hostess. Checkin was seamless- we just walked in! Location was the prime reason I chose Red Ohana. The best white sand beaches are minutes away.

Mountain air, close to the beach
Red 'Ohana has it all: a rural setting a short drive from the Kohala beaches (we preferred Spencer state park to the better known and larger Hapuna), less than 40 mins to Waipio Valley (the shuttle, the only way to get down, is definitely worth it). The house is very comfortable, awesomely well-equipped kitchen, very quiet Owner is super nice - lives a few houses away.

Wonderful place to explore the big island from
My family had a fantastic time staying here, especially with our friends’ family staying at the smaller house at the same time. The larger house is perfect for gathering people from both houses for dinner, making plans to see the volcano, the observatory, the beaches, or just hang out. There’s fresh air, quiet, and a lot of little geckos for the kids to examine. Would definitely stay here again!

Reunion Weekend at HPA
The house is beautifully updated with clean, comfortable furnishings. Plenty of high quality linens for beds, bathrooms and kitchen. Only suggestion would be to have bath mats as the bathrooms are tiled and is slippery when wet. The kitchen is well appointed with full array of table ware, plates, stemware, and glass ware. A complete kitchen for cooking. Several ways to make coffee, from a keurig, to French Press and a pour over melitta style. Electric tea kettle and traditional tea kettle on the stove. The garden and deck are clean and well maintained. The yard has nice grass and plants. The deck had table and chairs and a nice gas grill. For a day at the beach, Boogie boards and beach chairs were available as well. The house is cleaned twice a week and is well maintained. The location was perfect for our needs and would recommend to stay another time.

What a wonderful stay at the Red Ohana! The house was immaculate, spacious, quiet, and ideally located as we were in town for HPA graduation right across the street. Communication was top notch, and we appreciated all the amenities provided. We would love to stay at Red Ohana again if and when we make it back to Waimea. Thanks so much for making us feel like such welcome guests. Mahalo!

Awesome location for Big Island activities
Red Ohana was clean, comfortable, spacious for our group (4 adults, 2 kids), and well equipped with everything we needed. Waimea/Kamuela is a great spot, with a grocery store and wide selection of restaurants in town, just a few minutes’ drive from Red Ohana, and the perfect location for us to use as our base to explore Big Island with our kids (both under 10). A lot of the sites are a bit of a drive (45-90 mins) in Hawaii, but Waimea is well placed between Hilo and Kona for access to some of the key things — as long as you are good with driving some days. The 1-week itinerary on the Red Ohana website is worth checking out! Lots of great ideas. It is cooler and breezier (sometimes damper) in Waimea than Kona, but that was a nice relief to come back to after a hot day on the beach. Loved our stay. Mahalo, Laura!
