Why Laura chose Kamuela
Red 'Ohana distinguishes itself from other vacation rentals first and foremost because of the casual elegance that you just won't find elsewhere except at exorbitantly priced resorts (and without our amenities). Our property is both spacious and private, and the ohanas were the original Parker Ranch caretakers' quarters. Once you explore the island, you will appreciate the mild, temperate climate. The property atmosphere is relaxed and your peace will not be impacted by noisy roosters, coqui frogs, pets, or other animals. Your access to Waimea town is a 5 minute drive and access to beautiful beaches is an easy, scenic 8 minute drive. It would be difficult to find a property with all of features and amenities for the same price elsewhere on the island. Sometimes local residents stay with us for their weekend getaway. Many parents stay with us when visiting their children who attend the prestigious Hawaii Preparatory Academy.

Best Vacation Ever
Excellent property, location, hosts, concierge, island. Really cannot go wrong on the Big Island at Red Ohana. Thank you for the memories!
Very quaint, peaceful; Paradise.
The redohona was beautiful and lived up to full potential of our expectations. Convenient location and the amazing scenery that can only come from Hawaii. Our family will defiantly be staying there again! The staff was super amazing with local suggestions and locations of activities and eating. Warm and welcoming. We thank Laura & Megan for making our trip to paradise worth every minute!

Cozy and serene getaway
We loved our stay at the Red Ohana. The home is beautifully decorated, perfectly set up for a relaxing stay, whether cuddling on the couch with a movie, or enjoying the birds in the morning on the secluded lanai. Laura was there to greet us and gave us a wonderful welcome. She and Nathalie were available to help as we had questions, but never did we feel pestered. The other home on the lot shares parking but unless the renters are outside talking, you’d never know you were that close. Our only word of caution is that the bathroom has a lower ceiling and doorway than the rest of the house. My husband is 6’7”; he managed just fine, but it is worth noting. The house was so perfect and the location ideal (close to the coast and the beaches, but out of the tourist chaos) that we would stay again in a heartbeat, and hope to do it again soon!
Red O’hana has it all!
Great location! Sry comfortable place with all the amenities you need for your stay in Waimea.
Perfection!
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Red Ohana. The cottage is charming, clean, and well appointed. Our host Laura was extremely responsive and friendly.
Highly recommend this lovely property!!
This was an absolutely beautiful cottage that perfected suited our needs. We loved the location!
The cottage is beautifully furnished and immaculately maintained. We enjoyed the peaceful setting, gorgeous outdoor spaces, and the close proximity to town and the beaches. The kitchen is very well equiped and spacious. We especially loved all the special touches such as beach gear and wifi. We look forward to staying again!
Location
Red 'Ohana (2BR and 3BR) provides the most authentic connection to old Hawaii with truly ideal weather, plenty of modern conveniences, quick access to resort beaches, and without the feeling of being in a tourist town. Two shopping centers, several art galleries, a performing arts theater, fine and casual dining, a sense of community, and the best beaches in the state are just some of the reasons to stay with us here Kamuela/Waimea. No where else on the island are there 4 weekly farmers markets - 3 on Saturday, 1 on Wednesday. Taste and experience the aloha among friends, families, and farmers. Cook up fresh organic produce and local beef in our gourmet kitchen or BBQ on the lanai. Amenities abound - use the stable of bodyboards, beach chairs, and beach umbrellas. We can suggest, plan, or arrange a tour or itinerary suited to your interests, time, and priorities. At the end of the day, sleep in the most luxurious beds - resort beds won't compare.
Take advantage of our 30 years of hospitality experience and knowledge of this amazing island that we call home. Our personal mission is to exceed your expectations so our attention to detail is evident throughout.
