Guiding us to plan the best family vacation ever (beaches, events, restaurants ) and every communication was sprinkled with kindness. The Red Ohana was fantastic !!! The home spacious, clean, beds comfortable, comforters and pillows were luxurious, lots of space for our family of five !! And the location was absolutely prime ! There’s nowhere else I would stay on the island ! If you’re considering staying here - a thousand percent YES ! It’s a home away from home !

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.

Lovely home in Waimea

This is a great place to stay in Waimea. Beautiful setting and immaculate home. Our host left a fabulous book of information about the big island which included local favorites and must do activities. We did a lot of driving because our activities were down in Volcano National Park and in Kona, but coming back to our restful house and eating locally each evening was perfect

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.
