"The house, view, garden, and hosts were amazing. Great view of everything from the ocean to the night sky. House was clean and hosts were very informative about location, directions and gave us a great place to explore the rest of the big island."

"Wow! Just wow! This property is amazing! The pictures do not begin to show the beauty of the view from this house! The grounds are meticulously kept! The fruit trees and plants, we had planned on going back to the botanical gardens outside of Hilo but there was no need, everything was growing right there! Is the House a little dated yes and I was a little uncomfortable with no coverings on the windows but there truly is no one else around. The house was super clean and the AC kept it cool which is what my biggest issue in booking was! The Host Cemille and Derrick are absolutely amazing! Fresh fruit every time we saw them! So nice and helpful! We hope to be back very soon! "

"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!"

"What an absolutely delightful stay! This was our favorite place of all during our week on the island. We loved the decor and of course the gardens. The location was perfect for us. The only thing lacking was more time on our agenda for a longer stay. Mahalo Darin!"

"The studio apartment was a charming place conveniently located close to many amenities (cafes, groceries, restaurants, etcetera). The staff was very friendly and eager to help. Waimea was our base to explore other areas such as Pololu valley, Hawi and others. The manager was very helpful in providing local information of good restaurants around all the multiple areas we visited. It was always good to have an insiders' point of view. Thank you!"

"An exceptional place to stay for a Hawaii vacation. The Red Ohana.I had the pleasure of a week’s stay here, a place that gives tremendous thought to making a great vacation experience. When I’ve rented other vacation houses, I’ve often felt that I was trespassing in someone else’s living room. Not so at the Red Ohana. The whole vibe is welcoming. The decor is charming. The layout is comfortable. Everything is well-thought-out and well-supplied. The kitchen, the bathroom, the bedrooms, the laundry, the housekeeping, the porch chairs, the beach supplies — all needs anticipated and ready to go. The landscaping is private, soothing and beautiful.This was the ideal place for a family reunion. My family of four had the two-bedroom house; the extended family had the larger house about twelve steps away. It was easy to share meals, make group plans, and relax. When we needed a break from togetherness, we had privacy at hand in separate houses.Like I said, exceptional."

"Very nicely appointed, comfortable 2 story duplex in a quiet neighborhood a few miles from Waimea town. "
