"The condo was clean and stocked with everything you need to begin your trip. You'll need to get additional toiletries if you plan on staying longer than a few days. The staff were beyong friendly, we went to beaches rather than the pool but it was always being used so it must be great. It was well kept onside and out, even the BBQ was consistently clean. Cant wait to visit again!"

"Another great stay at this studio cabin. The cabin sits on a small hill. The lanai looks out over the owner’s beautiful yard, in the distance is a pasture with cows and then, the Pacific Ocean. We have seen many barges, a few sailboats and cruise ships during our stays here. Close to Honokaa, "

"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."

"Everything was fantastic! The only odd thing is that there wasn’t a headboard on the bed. The staff was very kind! If you look at the window latch on the courtyard side of the room, it might say “made in occupied Japan” on the knob, which if you know your history, it should give you a solid idea on the age of the hotel. But the place is in great shape, seems freshly remodeled, and really is quite a treasure. The song of the night birds is mesmerizing! One word of caution for late arrivals though: everything in the village closes at 8PM or earlier. If you landed at Kona in the evening, and you want anything for the night, you better get it in Kona. I will absolutely return to this amazing place!"

"The view was beautiful, the rooms were clean and the place was wonderfully quiet. "

"Hostess is wonderful. "

"Incredible location. The lodge is located on a beautiful piece of property where you have a view of the ocean. Everyday we sat on the porch and watched the sunset. "

"Parking is free, safe. Just 120 yards from intersection at 90 degree turn. It is about 20 minutes drive from the coast, the only drawback."

"Overall it was a great stay. The house is as pictured with everything you need for a vacation with a small family. The kitchen was very well stocked and also had some leftover pantry staples from past guests. There were lots of leftover beach supplies — chairs, boogie boards, kid snorkels, beach toys — some in better shape than others. The bbq on the lanai was a nice bonus for dinners. The drawbacks, for us:The king bed in the master bedroom was VERY firm. At one point we tried adding the “extra mattress” from the closet, which was really just a flimsy foam pad, but it didn’t even help. The twin beds in the kids room were super creaky and my kid doesn’t even weigh that much.While the AC was wonderful and worked great, the filters were absolutely filthy. We were there during some major volcanic activity so that could be forgiven but it was quite the build up on all four units. The ice maker leaked while we were there and I got zero response from my message letting them know that was happening. The lack of response was more of an issue than the ice maker leaking. The long term tenant downstairs was lovely but as others have mentioned he is a smoker and it meant we couldn’t use our lanai or have our windows open sometimes. We could also hear his tv quite clearly even with windows closed and could distinctly hear when he sneezed, which seems absurd since I can’t hear someone sneeze downstairs in my own house. So just be aware that the floor/walls are quite thin. "
