"Had such a comfortable, relaxing, amazing time! Thank you so much for your sweet hospitality. Hope to visit again sooner than later!!"

"Gorgeous hotel and easy beach access"

"This place boasts stunning grounds! If you're a bird watcher, you'll love spending time on the porch, soaking in the sights and sounds. A vehicle is definitely handy for exploring the nearby malls and fascinating historical sites. Inside, we enjoyed the comfort of an air conditioning unit, microwave, and a little refrigerator, all surrounded by inviting sliding glass doors that let in plenty of natural light.One tip for light sleepers: consider bringing an eye mask, as the curtains don't fully block out the morning sun. The studio may be small, but we found it to be just right for our needs, and we were genuinely happy during our stay. Our host was incredibly welcoming and made us feel at home, even greeting us upon our late arrival and respecting our privacy.Just a quick note: avoid running the hair dryer and air conditioner at the same time—you might trip the fuse! Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. We truly appreciate it! Mahalo!at the same time—you might trip the fuse! Thank you so much for the wonderful hospitality. We truly appreciate it!

"Wonderful stay with Chris! Will come back."

"The property was great! Very relaxing yet still had all the essentials. It was super fun walking the property and enjoying all the fresh fruit! Star gazing in the hot tub was also enjoyable. Overall we enjoyed our stay so much & had so much fun exploring the big island. Only downside is the closest beach is about a 20 minute drive and there is no AC so it can get warm during the day, but wasn’t a problem at night."

"This was a well appointed, beautiful property. It is close to a wonderful beach. It was peaceful and quiet. Kyla and James were lovely hosts."

"The staff was very accommodating and helpful. Thank you to the wonderful staff."

"Room cleaned and clean towels twice a day. Family friendly, gentle ocean, cabanas, chairs and towels."

"Everything about our stay at the Red Ohana 3-bedroom was amazing! The home is beautifully maintained, thoughtfully equipped, and incredibly comfortable. The location is peaceful and perfect for exploring Waimea and the surrounding areas.But the real gem? Laura. She's Waimea's best kept secret - warm, responsive, and full of great local insight. She made us feel more like welcomed guests than renters.Can’t wait to come back. Mahalo, Laura, for an unforgettable experience!"
