About this property

Fall Discount 25%! Luxury Hawaiian Experience above Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach

Aloha! The Red 'Ohana 3 bedroom is located on the beautifully scenic Kohala Mountain Ranch Road on the 'sunny side' of Waimea/Kamuela, above Mauna Kea and Hapuna Beach. Waimea is a quaint town with breezes and milder temperatures that provide an idyllic Hawaiian environment.

The ultimate in comfort and classic Hawaiian style, this impeccably restored large three Bedroom, two bath island home has beautiful views of the Kohala Forest Reserve and Mauna Kea. The home comes equipped with designer furnishings & linens and all the best amenities.

Ideally located just minutes from Waimea town center offering many unique shops, galleries, farmer's markets and excellent dining options. The home is very private, quiet and situated on an acre of lush landscaped land with flowers and fruit trees that are intrinsic to well being. Red 'Ohana is classic Hawaiian style architecture with wide hip roofs and a large open covered lanai, the perfect spot to enjoy your cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine at sunset.

Waimea town is the best central location to explore everything from the nature of the Big Island ecology to the future of the universe at the Mauna Kea Observatory and of course the best beaches on the island are just minutes away.

You will never forget your stay in this unique home, and you will long to come back! Red Ohana is truly an elegant taste of upcountry Hawaii. Your home away from home!

Beyond Expectations
At the top of my five star ratings was Laura, the property manager. She knows this island very well and readily shared her thoughts. More than a property manager, she was the best concierge for our group of Girl Scouts, moms and younger siblings.

great stay
House was as pictured- and comfortable. Had a couple blips- but these were addressed quickly. A little noise from roosters and early am car traffic. But overall had a great stay here. Easy access to everything we wanted to do- and some great restaurants right in Waimea.

Island paradise
Red Ohana is the perfect location to see everything on the Big Island, while providing a lovely and restful retreat. The house is spectacularly clean and well appointed with lovely Hawaiian touches. There are grocery stores just a few miles away in Waimea and a Wednesday and Saturday farmers market with wonderful fruit, veggies, and fish to purchase. Laura was a perfect host - super kind and helpful. Excellent base to attend the Hawai’i Performing Arts Festival.

Perfect Waimea Getaway For Our Wedding Party!
My husband and I got married at Anna Ranch Heritage Center in Waimea and booked both Red Ohanas for our wedding party. It was the perfect weekend and we can’t thank Laura enough for a magical place to stay! Very comfortable beds, fluff and fold + cleaning service throughout, and a fantastic location. We will definitely return in years to come :)

Delightful stay in Waimea
We stayed in the 3 bedroom/ 2 bath Red Ohana property. The home is spacious, spotless, and includes all the amenities we needed. Laura is a great hostess. Checkin was seamless- we just walked in! Location was the prime reason I chose Red Ohana. The best white sand beaches are minutes away.

Mountain air, close to the beach
Red 'Ohana has it all: a rural setting a short drive from the Kohala beaches (we preferred Spencer state park to the better known and larger Hapuna), less than 40 mins to Waipio Valley (the shuttle, the only way to get down, is definitely worth it). The house is very comfortable, awesomely well-equipped kitchen, very quiet Owner is super nice - lives a few houses away.

Wonderful place to explore the big island from
My family had a fantastic time staying here, especially with our friends’ family staying at the smaller house at the same time. The larger house is perfect for gathering people from both houses for dinner, making plans to see the volcano, the observatory, the beaches, or just hang out. There’s fresh air, quiet, and a lot of little geckos for the kids to examine. Would definitely stay here again!

Reunion Weekend at HPA
The house is beautifully updated with clean, comfortable furnishings. Plenty of high quality linens for beds, bathrooms and kitchen. Only suggestion would be to have bath mats as the bathrooms are tiled and is slippery when wet. The kitchen is well appointed with full array of table ware, plates, stemware, and glass ware. A complete kitchen for cooking. Several ways to make coffee, from a keurig, to French Press and a pour over melitta style. Electric tea kettle and traditional tea kettle on the stove. The garden and deck are clean and well maintained. The yard has nice grass and plants. The deck had table and chairs and a nice gas grill. For a day at the beach, Boogie boards and beach chairs were available as well. The house is cleaned twice a week and is well maintained. The location was perfect for our needs and would recommend to stay another time.

Didn't want to leave!
What a wonderful stay at the Red Ohana! The house was immaculate, spacious, quiet, and ideally located as we were in town for HPA graduation right across the street. Communication was top notch, and we appreciated all the amenities provided. We would love to stay at Red Ohana again if and when we make it back to Waimea. Thanks so much for making us feel like such welcome guests. Mahalo!

Awesome location for Big Island activities
Red Ohana was clean, comfortable, spacious for our group (4 adults, 2 kids), and well equipped with everything we needed. Waimea/Kamuela is a great spot, with a grocery store and wide selection of restaurants in town, just a few minutes’ drive from Red Ohana, and the perfect location for us to use as our base to explore Big Island with our kids (both under 10). A lot of the sites are a bit of a drive (45-90 mins) in Hawaii, but Waimea is well placed between Hilo and Kona for access to some of the key things — as long as you are good with driving some days. The 1-week itinerary on the Red Ohana website is worth checking out! Lots of great ideas. It is cooler and breezier (sometimes damper) in Waimea than Kona, but that was a nice relief to come back to after a hot day on the beach. Loved our stay. Mahalo, Laura!

The Perfect Place!
We have stayed on the Big Island many times and this was our favorite place. The house is extremely comfortable and well stocked. It is very clean and Laura is a top notch host. The location is fantastic for better restaurants in Waimea, good coffee, and ease to the North Kohala beaches.

Excellent spot for stay in Waimea on the Big Island
Stay was clean and especially enjoyed the soft beds for being on vacation. Good amenities. Only concern was the driveway into the place as an elevated area, angling the car if your car rides low should be done with care.

Best Family Vacation
We were immediately impressed with how beautiful and clean the house was; very spacious for our family of 7. We found Laura our host, to be very responsive when we had questions. We liked the location as Weimea is a cute town with fun farmers markets and some really great restaurants. The town is pretty centrally located so we could do day trips around the Island to take in as much of the Big Island as possible!! Always felt like going home after a long day exploring. We’re very sad to be going home.

Why they chose this property

Red 'Ohana distinguishes itself from other vacation rentals first and foremost because of the casual elegance that you just won't find elsewhere. Our property is both spacious and private, and the O"hanas 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 peaceful. 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 Hawaii Preparatory Academy and Parker Ranch School.

What makes this property unique

- Five-star luxury accommodations at lower prices than resorts
- Proximity to Hawaii's best beaches, nearby attractions, and west side of the island.
- Attentive, experienced concierges for property or activity needs
- Strong connection to old Hawaii and historic Parker Ranch, and an active community not overcome with tourists.
