We enjoyed a 10 day stay at the Red Ohana 2 bedroom cottage in Waimea. The location was so convenient to restaurants, grocery stores , farmers markets, and lovely Hapuna Beach. We appreciated the provided beach supplies Nearby farmers markets were fun. The central location made it easy for day trips to north island towns as well as west beaches and sights near Hilo.

We had another wonderful stay at the Red Ohana. The town of Waimea never disappoints. The people are amazing, the food was so good and we loved the views. Laura is one of the most attentive hosts and is very easy to contact. Don’t hesitate to book this home away from home.

Perfect communication, wellappointed with whatever is needed. It would be tough for my parents with a very tight shower and no climate control, but was no issue for our younger family. We had a great stay.

My husband and I had a great time staying at this property. The house is nicely set up for indoor-outdoor living and has a grill we used about half the nights. The kitchen was just the right size for us and had everything we needed. Lol, there are 4 different devices to make coffee. Waimea has grocery stores and restaurants just a few minutes away. The beaches with the best sunny weather are right down the road. The host kept in touch with us and gave us great tips for activities. Really just great overall.

Red Ohana

We enjoyed our stay. The home is beautiful and is located in a quiet neighborhood. The location was perfect to travel the entire island. The beds were amazing and the property was perfect for quality family time. We definitely recommend the Red Ohana and hope to return soon.

Love Waimea!

Great location just minutes from Waimea and 10 minute drive to coast and beaches. Beautiful green hills of Kohala mountain and great Waimea restaurants, farmers markets. Laura is great host, very responsive and easy to work with. Great comfy bed and pillows, with Hawaiian touches throughout the interior.

Lovely Cottage in Waimea Town

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.

Great house in Waimea

Our group booked both houses on this property. They were both clean with lots of amenities. It's a good loctaion to get to some great beaches and hikes, but it's a big island and you'll be doing lots of driving no matter where you stay.

The Red Ohana is a cute little cottage just outside of Waimea. It is a great location from which to explore the Hilo side of Hawaii, and Waimea is a lovely little town to explore. (don’t miss the Wednesday and Saturday Kamuela Farmers Market) Laura was an excellent host, great communication and very welcoming - she kept us informed of everything we needed to know. On our last day, due to bad weather, we asked at the last minute if we could extend our stay by a day to accommodate our late flight off the island, and Laura was flexible enough to accommodate our request and allow us the extra day, which we very much appreciated. Mahalo, Laura - we hope to be back to visit again sometime.
