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.

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!

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!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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!
