We had a wonderful time at Red Ohana. Laura was attentive and helpful, the house was comfortable and well appointed, and the location was convenient to everywhere we wanted to explore on the Big Island. Thank you for making our trip so relaxing.
House and amenities were perfect - everything exactly as advertised and the hosts were wonderful (great communication, advice, thoughtful). My family had an amazing week thanks to Red Ohana. We will definitely stay here again.
Thank you for being such great hosts. Your home was exactly what we all wanted, from the very comfy beds and great kitchen to the wonderful location, it was our perfect home away from home!
We’ve stayed here the last 3 years for family vacation and it’s a great location for dining and cooler temps in Waimea while still being able to drive down to the beach every day.
Laura was the best host I have ever had ! She was very knowledgeable, extremely helpful. 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 !
The 3br Red Ohana was a great place to stay in a good, central location. The house was as advertised; clean, comfortable, and well stocked.
We would definitely book another stay at the red ohana.
We rented the Ref Ohana 3 bedroom. It was spacious and comfortable. The beds were great. The kitchen and eating area were great for a group. The patio was beautiful. I’d definitely stay here again.
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.
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
Stayed at the Red O’hana for 10 days, group of 7. The room arrangement worked out great for us and the location was perfect for all our activities. Laura was easy to communicate with and was quick to respond. Thank you Laura! We had a great stay.
The Red Ohana house was everything you could want and more. Laura checked in with us several times and was very helpful. We would stay here again every time we visit the island.

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.
