Hawaii Tax ID: GE/TA - 087-115-1616-01. Hosted rental by owner.
This beautiful one-bedroom suite has returned to the vacation rental operation and it welcomes 2 guests to experience the beautiful life on the Kohala coast.
Manaharmony Big Island is a 3-acre property located in Kohala Estates, an agricultural subdivision on the beautiful Kohala coast of the Big Island of Hawaii, merely 4 miles north of Kawaihae harbor. The house has two wings under the same dwelling structure - the main wing and the guest suite wing. The host is the property owner and the original creator of this home who lives in the main wing with her life partner. Ohana Harmony is the guest suite wing of the property. It is a custom-designed and custom-built home which was completed in August 2016. The entire property sits on the Kohala mountain and has an expansive view of the ocean as well as the majestic Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai mountains. Kauna'oa (Mauna Kea), Hapuna, Waialea Bay, Spencer, and Mau'umae beaches, as well as Puako Beach Drive are all within 5-8 miles of the property. The town of Waimea (Kamuela), Mauna Lani resort, and Waikoloa Beach Resort are 20-25 minutes away, providing ample choices of restaurants, grocery shopping, and resort lifestyle. Two scuba dive companies along with kayak and ocean tour operators operate their boats within a 10-20 minutes driving distance from the property. The area is considered to be the drier area of the island, receiving trade winds which keep the sky relatively clear from vog (volcanic fog). Star-gazing on the night skies free of light pollution, whale-watching through binoculars during the whale season, watching the moon rise over Mauna Kea, or being awe-inspired by the light of dawn coinciding with the moon set over the ocean are some of other magical experiences you can enjoy from the comfort and peace of the beautiful lanai of Ohana Harmony.
While the property shares the zip code with Waimea (Kamuela/96743), it does not share the weather of Waimea. The Big Island has various micro-climate pockets. The property is located at 500 feet elevation in a dry area. Daytime outdoor temperatures in the warm months are mid to high 80's; in the cool months, high 70's to low 80's. To check the weather, Kawaihae is the nearest weather report location.

A wonderful getaway to chill out or use as a home base to explore the Big Island. Host was extremely helpful, but never intrusive, and we loved our stay. The space is nicely decorated and everything has its place. We hope to come back again some day!

My husband and I stayed at Somtida’s beautiful apartment unit for 5 days. We could not be happier and hope to be back for any future visits to the Big Island. The place is clean, thoughtfully completed for guests and private with stunning views.

Ohana Harmony was heavenly. From the moment we arrived and were greeted by the host Somtida, this place was instantly home for our stay. The quaint space was well appointed, and suited our needs just right. It was pleasant to be away from the hustle and bustle of Kona and the resorts. We were greeted every morning to spectacular views on the lanai. Birds were singing and as we ate our breakfasts, we looked for our geckos. They were guaranteed to be crawling about the beautiful wood on the railings, and sunning themselves. It literally was like a little piece of heaven.
Somtida was a fabulous host. She provided lots of insight into special places to visit on the island, from her firsthand experiences. We had privacy, but welcomed our delightful conversations with her. We will be back, and look forward to staying at Ohana Harmony again!

We spent a perfect week at Ohana Harmony. The location on the western slope of Kohala offered beautiful unobstructed views of the ocean, surrounding ranch land and the peaks of Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa, and Hualalai. It was so quiet and relaxing, with only the wind and morning birdsong breaking the silence on our many stays on the roomy lanai. The owner has lovingly decorated the unit to make it a casual, spacious retreat and all the furnishings were clean and very well maintained. The kitchen was compact, but had all the amenities we needed to make some great meals sourced from the local markets. The home was stocked with some nice extras that really enhanced our stay, like bottled water, lunch snacks, beach towels & chairs, and a local snorkeling guide. We were a short drive to some great beaches, hiking trails, and dining options. The VRBO description and pictures are all accurate, albeit more impressive in person, but what is not noted is the warm and welcoming host, Somtida. While we would have had a great experience regardless, she really went the extra mile to ensure our stay was our best yet to the Big Island.

This property is amazing! Relaxing mornings with the sounds of birds, beautiful views and outstanding accommodations. The place was spacious, clean, bright and airy. The bed was comfortable the lanai was spectacular. It was private and had everything needed for a wonderful stay. The pictures are spot on and this place did not disappoint. Somtida is a kind and welcoming host. If you want privacy no problem. If you have any questions she’s easily accessible. We will definitely stay here again.

Ohana Harmony was perfect and met all my expectations. The afternoons sleeping on the lanai will not be forgotten soon. Mary at 2 Papayas was personable and pleasant. We are looking forward to returning in the near future.
