Relaxing Stay
We loved our stay at Kimi's guest house. The house is very comfortable for two people. The kitchen is well equipped and we cooked in almost every night. The location is convenient to north-end beaches, Waimea, Hawi, MaunaKea, the supermarket in Waikoloa Village, and of course the excellent Waikoloa Community pool. We swam every day, at least once and usually twice.

perfect hideaway
What a lovely perfect place to spend our time on the big island!! Tucked away in a lovely neighborhood that was central to Waikoloa, Waimea, Volcanoes, and even Hilo and Kona, we could not have asked for more. The property itself is beautiful, with fantastic sunset views, and early morning sunshine and birdsong. The ohana itself has everything you could possibly need for outdoor adventures, the beach, cooking, relaxing, enjoying downtime, or a perfect nights sleep ( the bed is fantastic). The only downside was having to leave-it is truly a peaceful oasis for living out a remarkable vacation. Kimi is a wonderful host and human being, and we are happy to have found her amazing ohana and been able to spend a few weeks of our lives sharing her separate space!! Many thanks Kimi!!! Hui Hou!!

Waikaloa Village Ohana
You will love the Ohana! Kimi is great to work with and made my stay fun. The Ohana is very close to supermarkets, restaurants, local beaches, Mauna Kea, great farmer's markets and more! I loved the quiet solitude! Kimi also provides things you will need like beach chairs, a beach umbrella, a cooler and beach towels. I hope you enjoy your stay as much as I did. BJM

quiet and clean village spot
Kimi is a great host and I must say that my 5 weeks flew by. I didn't think I'd like being away from the ocean's door step but I actually enjoyed not being in the resort areas right on the Kona coast. The ohana is clean, highly functional and comfortable. Internet access was never an issue and from the back patio/kitchen you have a direct view of the sunsets ... if you're not down by the waterline which is 15 mins away. I have a feeling that I'll be back!

Great location and even better a charming home away from home.....Very quiet and restful. All the needed amenities for our 6 week stay..... an easy drive to all the local beaches, farmers markets with shopping for supplies minutes away. Beautiful sunset view from the back lanai. AND topping it all was our gracious host Kimi!

PEACEFUL
The best word to describe the Bamboo Ohana is peaceful. From the moment we stepped in the door we felt peaceful. We woke to bird songs every morning, beautiful sunsets most nights and lulled to sleep with the sound of the breeze in the bamboo. Anything you might need for a wonderful time was provided. Kimi is a excellent host.

Fantastic spot
We loved staying at Kimi's Ohana in Waikoloa village. We have stayed in a number of locations on the big island including resorts, beachside vacation rentals, vacation rentals in waimea, hawi, volcano, kona, etc. and each has there strengths. The beauty of Waikoloa is that it provides access to the benefits of all the locations on the big island from a central spot. Plus, the village itself is a pretty great place to be with the pool, tennis, pickleball, golf and great places to walk right out the door. Plus Plus, Kimi's place is awesome. Plenty of privacy, very well appointed, great taste in decor, nice outdoor spaces to eat, drink and visit, and best of all, Kimi is a superb host.

Perfection in Waikoloa!
I really feel like staying at Kimi's guest house was a gift! The house is beautiful and well appointed and offers such a sense of privacy. Everything we needed was available. Kimi is an amazing hostess and it was a pleasure to get to know her. The pictures she shows of the property are just how it appears (yet more beautiful when you're there). Add in the privacy, weather, beautiful breeze, gorgeous flowers and plants and you have the perfect place to spend your vacation!!!!!!

Gracious Host and lots of privacy which we value. Small kitchen served all our cooking needs and gas grill also. Even though no A/C never felt hot as breezy and ceiling fans in all rooms. Bigger then it looks. Highly recommend (but don't book the weeks when we return)!

This Ohana is truly wonderful. The setting is private and peaceful, surrounded by lush tropical landscaping, offering both inside and outside living spaces. It is sparkling clean and well appointed, with everything for a short or long stay - a complete kitchen, comfortable living room, cozy bedroom, two outside sitting areas and even a washer/dryer, all tastefully decorated. Waikoloa Village is a super convenient location with an excellent micro climate. The host, Kimi, cares deeply about her guests and is warm and welcoming. Her kindness touched our hearts and we can’t wait to return. 🌺

A little gem!
Kimi's guest house is the perfect place to unwind and relax. It's tasteful, quiet and very comfortable. Great location in the sunniest area of the island too! Some of the best beaches are right around the corner and the north side of the island is just breathtaking. We had a lovely time and really miss waking up to beautiful birdsong.

Outstanding value in a great area on the best Island.
Kimi has done an excellent job in setting up the Ohana. We've been to the Big Island 8+ times - staying at rental houses on Puako, to the high-end resorts of Mauna Kea, Fairmont, etc. this is by far the best value and the Waikoloa Village has everything you need. I was there a whole month and didn't want to leave!

Waikoloa Village getaway
This property is like new and very clean. Kiki is very accommodating and friendly. We hadn’t stayed in Waikoloa Village for years, so we decided to try it again. It was quiet and had a much more small town feel than Kona. But, it’s close enough to Kona that we could run there and shop, have dinner and hit Costco without it taking all day.

Bamboo O'hana doesn't disappoint
The gatehouse is perfect for two or three. It is located at the end of a cul de sac in a quiet neighborhood that is just minutes from the Village's main shopping and dining establishments. Upon our arrival, we were delighted to find two generous slices of homemade banana bread in the refrigerator, a selection of fresh local fruit in the bowl, and enough coffee k-cups and creamers to last until we could go shopping.. We were also provided with a starter selection of household dry goods. Our host was most accommodating to our need for more blankets and a heater when requested. She provided suggestions and recommendations for local eateries and activities, and made every effort to exceed our expectations. We are grateful to her for making our stay so enjoyable. Though we are not golfers, the rental includes a discount for two at the golf course, and provides access to the village pool. Mahalo for everything Kimi!
