Lovely Ohana

We enjoyed our stay at Ms.Kimi'slittle Ohana.Good location....a bit of a drive to beaches but convenient to shopping needs. Quiet neighborhood with lots of privacy. Because of the hilltop location there's usually a breeze and it is generally cooler than down at the beach.The owner is a lovely lady and everything went smoothly.You won't regret staying with Ms. Kimi.

Relaxing Stay

We loved our stay at Kimi's guest house. The house is very comfortable for two people. The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked in almost every night. The location is convenient to north-end beaches, Waimea, Hawi, MaunaKea, the supermarket in Waikoloa Village, and of course the excellent Waikoloa Community pool. We swam every day, at least once and usually twice.

Everything felt new and clean. Kitchen well equipped. Several ways to make coffee. Also had teapot and electric kettle for us tea drinkers. Private. Quiet neighborhood. 15 min from best beaches in the state. Towels and linens excellent. Bed very comfortable. Airy. With ceiling fans did not need ACCheck in was easy but vague. Instructions said “it’s all in the ohana”. We were not sure where to park when we first got there, and did not find out until next morning when we saw Kimi. Also not sure how to lock the property until we saw Kimi. Binder of instructions could have included a map to find the poolThe listing said there was a printer and office supplies. Did not need them but I did not see them Binder could have also told us where to find the beach chairsBut we loved the place. Perfect for two people. Outdoor space in the back had sunset view. Front lanai was lovely. Very good value for the price in that location I would absolutely stay there again. I put in ‘negatives’ about the check in because clearer instructions would help. But the property itself—wonderful

A little gem!

Kimi's guest house is the perfect place to unwind and relax. It's tasteful, quiet and very comfortable. Great location in the sunniest area of the island too! Some of the best beaches are right around the corner and the north side of the island is just breathtaking. We had a lovely time and really miss waking up to beautiful birdsong.

Waikaloa Village Ohana

You will love the Ohana! Kimi is great to work with and made my stay fun. The Ohana is very close to supermarkets, restaurants, local beaches, Mauna Kea, great farmer's markets and more! I loved the quiet solitude! Kimi also provides things you will need like beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a cooler and beach towels. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did. BJM

Lovely, well appointed ohana

After searching through many listings, we decided to book Kimi’s ohana. Previous reviews are spot on! It is comfortable and a good value. The landscaping and partial ocean view from back deck enhanced our stay even more.Efficient a/c unit maintains your comfort. Kitchen is well supplied with quality dish and cookware. Also a gas grill to bbq that wonderful island beef!We enjoyed visiting with Kimi, and meeting her rescue cat Harley! Kimi is always available, but respects her guests privacy as well. This property is quite the little gem.Laurie D

perfect hideaway

What a lovely perfect place to spend our time on the big island!! Tucked away in a lovely neighborhood that was central to Waikoloa, Waimea, Volcanoes, and even Hilo and Kona, we could not have asked for more. The property itself is beautiful, with fantastic sunset views, and early morning sunshine and birdsong. The ohana itself has everything you could possibly need for outdoor adventures, the beach, cooking, relaxing, enjoying downtime, or a perfect nights sleep ( the bed is fantastic). The only downside was having to leave-it is truly a peaceful oasis for living out a remarkable vacation. Kimi is a wonderful host and human being, and we are happy to have found her amazing ohana and been able to spend a few weeks of our lives sharing her separate space!! Many thanks Kimi!!! Hui Hou!!

quiet and clean village spot

Kimi is a great host and I must say that my 5 weeks flew by. I didn't think I'd like being away from the ocean's door step but I actually enjoyed not being in the resort areas right on the Kona coast. The ohana is clean, highly functional and comfortable. Internet access was never an issue and from the back patio/kitchen you have a direct view of the sunsets ... if you're not down by the waterline which is 15 mins away. I have a feeling that I'll be back!

PEACEFUL

The best word to describe the Bamboo Ohana is peaceful. From the moment we stepped in the door we felt peaceful. We woke to bird songs every morning, beautiful sunsets most nights and lulled to sleep with the sound of the breeze in the bamboo. Anything you might need for a wonderful time was provided. Kimi is a excellent host.

Fantastic spot

We loved staying at Kimi's Ohana in Waikoloa village. We have stayed in a number of locations on the big island including resorts, beachside vacation rentals, vacation rentals in waimea, hawi, volcano, kona, etc. and each has there strengths. The beauty of Waikoloa is that it provides access to the benefits of all the locations on the big island from a central spot. Plus, the village itself is a pretty great place to be with the pool, tennis, pickleball, golf and great places to walk right out the door. Plus Plus, Kimi's place is awesome. Plenty of privacy, very well appointed, great taste in decor, nice outdoor spaces to eat, drink and visit, and best of all, Kimi is a superb host.
