Kimi Cook Wells is a great host. The Ohana Is nice, and private as well. It is in a quiet neighborhood and yet not far (5 minute drive) from the grocery store. I enjoyed my stay.

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.
