"An exceptional place to stay for a Hawaii vacation. The Red Ohana.I had the pleasure of a week’s stay here, a place that gives tremendous thought to making a great vacation experience. When I’ve rented other vacation houses, I’ve often felt that I was trespassing in someone else’s living room. Not so at the Red Ohana. The whole vibe is welcoming. The decor is charming. The layout is comfortable. Everything is well-thought-out and well-supplied. The kitchen, the bathroom, the bedrooms, the laundry, the housekeeping, the porch chairs, the beach supplies — all needs anticipated and ready to go. The landscaping is private, soothing and beautiful.This was the ideal place for a family reunion. My family of four had the two-bedroom house; the extended family had the larger house about twelve steps away. It was easy to share meals, make group plans, and relax. When we needed a break from togetherness, we had privacy at hand in separate houses.Like I said, exceptional."
"This property had the best view on the whole island! It was almost too good to be true. This is your sign to stop searching, and just book this place! You do need a jeep or truck with big tires to get to the property and you have to drive very slow for the last few minutes of the journey, but it’s totally worth it. All of the plants and flowers and fruit trees were so beautiful! The rooms are a little outdated, but still very accommodating. Everything that we needed was there. Camile and her husband live downstairs and also manage the property so are there if you need anything. They are wonderful people. We truly enjoyed talking with them everyday and appreciate the fresh fruit that she brought us. Hope we get the opportunity to return one day! "
"The land of Sunshine" - fantastic ocean views, peaceful, romantic getaway
10/10 Excellent
"My adult son and I enjoyed the ohana unit’s location, condition and how well it was equipped for our stay. Jim was a gracious host. He welcomed us emphasizing he was available to help with anything we needed. An inside outside concept worked well. A studio for sleeping (2 beds), and a nice bathroom. A lanai for coffee, relaxing, breakfast while taking in the stunning blue water views. "
"The view from my room was amazing! The dinners on the property were incredible! The Manager was attentive to any of our needs and dietary requirements."
"The property is peaceful and beautiful, on lush grassy slopes overlooking the ocean, surrounded by orchards of tropical fruit trees. Randy is a wonderful and considerate host, always ready to give helpful info on the area, or to let you enjoy your privacy as you prefer. For cat lovers, there is a charming group of friendly felines on the farm property. Highly recommend it— the best place we’ve stayed anywhere in Hawaii! 🌴 🌈 🌊 ⛰️ "
