Lovely Cottage in Waimea Town
We had a quiet, relaxing stay at the 2 BR Red Ohana. I particularly appreciated Laura reaching out to us and offering both an early check-in and late check-out since there were no guests departing or arriving immediately before/after our stay. That's hospitality at its finest.

Red Ohana
We enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful and is located in a quiet neighborhood. The location was perfect to travel the entire island. The beds were amazing and the property was perfect for quality family time. We definitely recommend the Red Ohana and hope to return soon.

Great house in Waimea
Our group booked both houses on this property. They were both clean with lots of amenities. It's a good loctaion to get to some great beaches and hikes, but it's a big island and you'll be doing lots of driving no matter where you stay.

Our family had a fantastic stay at the Red Ohana! The location was very convenient for the north end and the house and lanai were lovely. The cottage had every amenity needed and the cleaning service was both friendly and impeccable. We hope to return!!!!

Amazing location, lovely house
Beautiful, clean property and a quiet location. We loved that everything we could have needed was at the house! A short drive to the coast, about 15-20 minutes away. It was convenient to be close to shops as well! The host is wonderful at answering any questions and giving local recommendations. We will definitely be back!

Breezy bliss
We spent 4 lovely nights in the 2 bedroom cottage. Cute and well-appointed. Comfy beds and very functional kitchen. We ate in all but one night. Savored a local breakfast as well as dinner at Merriman’s, yoga and the farmers market. Highly recommend for 2 or 3 travelers.

Spring Break on the Big Island
My college age daughter and I spent a wonderful spring break on the Big Island. The house was perfect. It had everything we needed. We enjoyed the quiet surroundings. Megan was a great host and provided answers for all our questions, including suggestions for activities for a rainy day.

Wow!
We've stayed in a lot of vrbo's and the Red Ohana is one of the best! Laura made everything so easy for us from check in through our unplanned extended stay. Our flight was canceled twice due to the grounding of some Alaska Airline planes. The Red Ohana is beautiful! The pictures don't do this place justice! The peaceful setting of Waimea is perfect if you need a quiet break. I would highly recommend this place and will be back for another stay. Thank you!

Incredible
We had the best time. Highly recommend. The beds are very comfortable, there are plentiful towels, nice washer and dryer, big kitchen, comfortable living space. It's all great. Everything was wonderful and I wish I could have stayed much longer. Every day I miss sitting outside with my morning coffee.

Wedding Get Away
This was a beautiful property perfect for 4 kupuna (elders) to come together and prepare wedding decorations for our niece. We had everything we needed within reach. The owner was sweet enough to allow us to cut some of her foliage for our arrangements which exceeded expectations. Your property played a major role in our memorable and successful wedding decorating weekend. Mahalo nui.

Relaxing, comfortable, clean
Nestled in the outskirts of adorable Waimea, this home offers an escape while only 10 minutes from excellent restaurants and shops and 30 minutes from beaches, boogie boarding and snorkeling. The two-bedroom comes with 5 beach chairs, 2 boogie boards and plenty of beach towels. Known for cool breezes year round, this is the CHILL respite we were looking for. Comfortable sofas and patio seating. Well-stocked kitchen for cooking, but only salt&pepper and some coffee pods included (bring your own spices/sauces). We hope to return!

This lady gets me!!
What a wonderful place to stay! So beautifully decorated and comfortable. We slept soundly, and enjoyed the kitchen, the shower, the TV. The covered lanai was absolutely magical in a light rain storm one day, and we enjoyed our morning coffee there on the comfy lounge chairs every day. The first thing I noticed in the kitchen was all the different options for coffee brewing - french press, keurig pod brewer, grinder, and drip machines - this is when I said 'this lady gets me'! So thoughtful. The garden was lush and beautiful, and the location was close to great restaurants, grocery store, and conveniences. Absolutely wonderful and highly recommend!! Thank you Laura!!

Beautiful Little Red House
This lovely little house is very nicely furnished and well-equipped for a nice vacation stay. We're very comfortable there because it's so clean, up to date and everything works. We like the location in Waimea, away from all the tourists and close to some outstanding restaurants in a nice little town. We don't go on vacation to sit around and watch TV, but after a day of scuba diving, that's how we sometimes relax. When we told our excellent host Laura that the TV didn't work well, she showed up soon with a big new smart TV that allowed us to access all the streaming services we have at home. That's some really top notch service. This was our second stay at Red Ohana and we'll definitely be back next time we go to the Big Island.

the best VRBO experience
The Red Ohana was the absolute best VRBO trip I have taken. Laura was a wonderful host! She even brought us creamer the night we arrived so we could enjoy our morning coffee!! The beds were also the most comfortable ever! We both slept perfect every night in the cozy beds!! The Red Ohana is so peaceful and relaxing - just what we were looking for! Laura we can’t thank you enough! We had everything we could possibly need! This is such a well equipped place to stay. Every detail is covered! We will absolutely return for future visits!! Thank you so much Laura!!’

Lovely Property w/ Aloha Touches
The 2 BDRM Red Ohana cottage is a nice little house, well appointed with a cute island theme. Really enjoyed staying in Waimea (shopping/restaurants 5 mins away) with elevation providing a cooler temperature but a quick and easy trip down to the beaches. Fans in the house and cross breezes were adequate (no A/C). The 3 BDRM Red Ohana is a short distance away (shared driveway) but the high vegetation around the deck makes it all very private. Property is near the Waimea/Hawi intersection and while set back from the road a bit, traffic is noticeable ... but generally it dies down to zero in evening/overnight. We love the Kohala area and would stay at the Red Ohana again!

Perfect House for our stay on the Big Island of Hawaii
The Red O'Hana 2 BR is really nice. There is a spacious primary bedroom and a living room with very comfortable seating. The kitchen is completely furnished. There is a beautiful deck with great chairs and a grill. The house has everything you need for the beach (Hapuna Beach is only 15 minutes away): many towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, a cooler, boogie boards and beach mats. Laura is a terrific host. She was extremely responsive to any questions we had plus she had many suggestions on what we could do on the island. We were very lucky to land in this house, as we were making our plans to visit the Big Island on very short notice. I highly recommend this place to stay while on the Big Island of Hawaii.

Wonderful Red O'Hana
We chose Red O'Hana to be our Big Island 40th Anniversary home-base and we were not disappointed. Check-in and check-out was beyond easy. This house was well appointed with all of the kitchen-type amenities you could need. And, Laura, our host, gave us 2-days of housekeeping! Located in a private setting just across the street from The Hawaiian Preparatory School (one of Hawaii's most elite) offered a beautiful backdrop for the property. It was very cool to see equestrian students working their horses through jumping exercises. Something you don't see everyday. Being at a higher elevation made every night of sleep super comfortable, as were the bed, and the drive down to the beach every day was easy and scenic. In total, this little gem was the setting for a carefree 7-perfect days that went by at the blink of an eye. Mahalo, again, to Laura and Red O'Hana!

Beautiful property but you will freeze if you go in winter!
Laura was great- super nice and great communication. The grounds are beautiful and well kept but my family was SO cold that part of my family went down by the beach to book an additional hotel there just to keep warm. By the way- looking at pictures in the listing- the beach is 45 minutes away It’s not a beach view.. You are literally up in the mountains. During our stay it was literally 55 degrees in the home and there is no heaters other than a space heater for one room. The rooms smell of mildew due to the dampness. All that said, again, Laura was very sweet but if we would’ve know that going to Hawaii we should be packing sweats and coats AND for the price.. we were sadly disappointed. Maybe getting heat in the home would be a great start to having the stay be as nice as looking at it in a pictures. Darn.
