Enjoy the country life in Kau on the Big Island and the lovely red Lehua flowers blooming. We live on 19 acres on Road to the Sea, which has a remote green sand beach at the end of the road (4 miles down from us). We call our slice of paradise, Honua Laa (a sacred place). Straight down to the coast is a beautiful black and green sand beach and a huge tide pool. Rent a four-wheel-drive to get there, and we recommend a 4WD to get to our place, since a recent storm washed our road out. Waiting on FEMA. Go slow, the road is rough and bumpy in places.. Off the grid. Rustic, but fun. If you are a Eco tourist or seeking adventure, you will love our spot! The silence is golden and the stars are amazing. Don't expect a hotel...this is upcountry glamorous camping. It's one-of-a-kind! Most of the parcels are 20 acre parcels around… But a few smaller parcels across the road. We have nice neighbors who keep an eye on things. The nearest grocery store is about 3 miles away. The Hele-On Bus is just 1.2 miles up the road. If you want to drive to the green sand beach at the end of our road, rent a 4 wheel drive. If you are athletic, you can walk, but it is 4 miles down and 4 miles back. I recommend going early in the morning and take water. Hot water shower is propane. Bring ice for your ice chest. Bring drinking water. There is a gas grill and propane single burner. Bathroom has manual flush toilet. This is off the grid solar and there can be days without sun, or other glitches. You can charge your phone and have a lamp in your cabin. WE HAVE WIFI. Good cell coverage. The panoramic ocean view is spectacular! Very peaceful and relaxing! Our glamping cabins are in the front 2 acres. The back 17 acres is an old Ohia forest with 500 year old trees and lots of birds. You might even see a wild goat or a wild pig or the mouflon sheep. Our property backs up to the Manuka Forest Reserve.

The family who own and operate Southern Comfort fell in love with the property while visiting friends and family over 25 years ago. They knew they would eventually want to retire here from the mainland one day. Fast forward to 2021 and they started their developments. After building their dream home, they knew they wanted to share the beauty to extended family and friends so they created their first site "Papaya Patch", converting their storage container into a private comfy stay and then built their 2nd site “Valley View Bungalow”. Both sites offer a queen bed and their own bathroom and outdoor shower access . Ocean views from the Papaya Patch and Valley Views from the bungalow. Sunrise Horizon is within 1 hour from Kīlauea Volcanoes National Park, approximately 10 minutes to volcano Park Kahuku Unit, 9 miles to South Point, 10 minutes to Naalehu town, and the perfect mid-point between Kona and Hilo.

My family and I had a wonderful stay at the treehouse! In fact, we like it so much that we changed some plans so we could spend more time hanging out and enjoying the uniqueness of the space. We loved sitting on the lanai’s and the feelings of peace and serenity of just hanging out in nature! We fell asleep listening to the euphony of frogs. I wish I had planned for more than one night. The check-in process was very easy - and the instructions and combination were great! I recommend meeting the property manager there instead of self check-in. I appreciated her helpful advice on local places. I hope we have the opportunity to come back and stay again for a longer time. I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a unique place to stay and loves the outdoors!

Truly one of the most magical places I've ever stayed at - we didn't want to leave! We loved everything about our stay, from the fun way to enter the house, to the dreamy fairy-lit path through the forest, to the well-furnished treehouse itself. We kept admiring all of the handcrafted nature of the house during our stay and discovering fun little details. And the bonus was being 15 min away from the park, allowing us to catch an actual eruption! We hope we will get the chance to come back another time!

Weekend Trip to Kona comfy RV w/million dollar view

Yes, the driveway is an adventure, but totally worth it! The RV is adorable, well-cared for and as private as you could ask for. The ocean, the birds, the flowers, the noisy frogs and the curious geckos are charming. The panoramic sunset views are unbelievable. Chris and Mark are kind, friendly, helpful and interesting to talk with. I could have just hung out on that covered porch for weeks, contentedly. A fabulous experience, as long as you understand the limitations of any camper, and are confident with four-wheel driving.

The property itself has everything you need, a clean working shower with toilet, oven with stovetop and fridge. The room has two beds but definitely enough space for 3. The host was extremely accommodating and helpful for finding local gems. Highly recommend staying here for your next trip to Hawaii!!

I loved staying in the Jungle Canopy! It was incredible to hear the birds in the morning when making coffee, and hear the frogs sing at night. The bed was super comfy and it was awesome to have my own bathroom with the cool outdoor shower (with hot water!!). The Canopy is a short walk from the parking area so it’s easy to bring your bag up, just don’t forget to bring some bug repellent for the mosquitos, and don’t forget to go say hi to the goats and chickens down in the garden! This place is a true delight and I’m excited to come back one day.

1 night at Skyes Treehouses

This treehouse was a magical jungle DREAM! There are windows everywhere, allowing tons of natural light in as well as lovely views of the forest/greenery all around. If you want to sleep in, bring an eye mask because the bedroom is at the top of the treehouse and gets bright early (wasn’t a problem for us because we were getting up early anyway so waking up naturally to the morning light was nice). At night the frogs are loud but we enjoyed falling asleep to them. Everything about the bed is AMAZING—the mattress, pillows, and bedding are all wonderful. The vibe of the treehouse is so cozy and peaceful. We wish we could’ve stayed more than one night. It is a bit expensive but once you get there, you’ll see why. Absolutely book this place. (The ONLY issue we had was initially finding the place. The directions say to look for a gazebo but there is definitely no gazebo. There’s a little carport out front but since we were looking for a gazebo we didn’t think we were art the right place.)

Excellent service. Friendly and acommodating. This is a remote part of the Big Island... I did not have a rental car...but the host(s) helped take me to the nearby village of Naahlehu, and also helped me get back to Kona airport for my departure. This is rustic tiny house....but all I needed for my stay and VERY reasonable price, compared to Kona Coast hotels & AirBnB's. I will stay there again when I fly to Big Island to see my relatives.

4 nights at Skyes Treehouses

This was absolutely the MOST BEAUTIFUL and whimsical vacation rental my wife and I have ever had. I am a treehouse aficionado and builder and I really appreciated the totally private setting, the sturdy construction that integrated perfectly with the natural environment and natural ohi’a trunks, the huge French doors and screens on 3 sides of the house, the multiple decks which stayed dry even during downpours, the comfortable bed, and the kitchy artwork. It would have been helpful to have written instructions on how to use the hot water system, how to operate the ceiling fan, how to start the propane heater, and how to light the wood stove and where to find more wood. The kitchen equipment was rudimentary, but serviceable. Some staple spices and herbs and more utensils would have made using the kitchen for simple meal prep easier. While we had guidebooks to help our sightseeing and eating out, some current, local recommendations would have been helpful. That said, we had a WONDERFUL stay, and would return in a heartbeat.

2 nights at Gingerhill Farm Retreat

Gingerhill Farm Retreat was the most amazing and perfect authentic, raw and true experience! Sylvia met me at my car and guided me up the grassy path past the goats and chickens to show me the delightful facilities, the outdoor shower so delicious, the community kitchen with the am8’g view of the Pacific, and the simple sleep accommodation in the yurt! I fely at all times I was there as if I was sunk into the lush paradise that surrounded me. I will return if ever I am able and stay as long as I possibly can!
