Enjoy the country life in Kau on the South End of the Big Island and the lovely red Lehua flowers blooming. We live on 20 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. You don’t need a 4WD to get to our place, but you will need a SUV or truck. Go slow the road is bumpy and rough in places. We are 1.2 miles from the highway.
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.
Shared bathroom (see photos) about a 100 feet away. Hipcamp kitchenette includes a propane single burner, ice chest, No fridge. No oven. We have an outdoor fire pit, if you like campfires!
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 plenty of coffee and tea in the kitchenette. Boil hot water in the kettle, put cone filter with a paper filter and ground coffee inside and on top of thermos. Drip. It's delicious!
This is off the grid solar and there can be days without sun, or other glitches. No wifi. I use ATandT and I understand that Verizon and Tmobile work also
The panoramic ocean view is spectacular! Very peaceful and relaxing!
The back 15 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. There are small caves and gorgeous rock formations. It backs up to Manuka Forest Reserve.

NOTE: There is a 4 wheel 1/3 mile driveway to the campsite, so a Jeep or other four-wheel-drive vehicle is necessary to drive to the rental. All wheel drive (AWD) isn’t 4 wheel drive and won’t work!
If you don’t have a 4x4 vehicle:
You can park in our parking lot at the top of the driveway and:
(A) we can leave a Nissan Frontier for you to drive to the rental and back to your car if you are comfortable driving a 4 wheel drive road.
Or
(B) we can happily pick you up at the top and drive you up and down!
Your choice! Just let us know when you reserve which you would like to do
We have a 24-foot Class C RV, Ohana, surrounded by coconut palms and offering a 180-degree, million-dollar view! Enjoy the peace and quiet along with refreshing ocean breezes.

There’s a large covered lanai for watching the sunsets each evening, as well as a fire pit for campfires.
Mountain goats occasionally graze on the property, and during whale season you will not only see whales—you can also hear them!
We are located in South Kona, 35 miles south of Kailua-Kona, 56 miles from Hawaiʻi Volcanoes National Park, and 95 miles from Hilo.
Captain Cook is 15 miles north and offers groceries, a hardware store, and several places to eat.

2 nights at Kona comfy RV w/million dollar view
I loved staying here! The hosts were amazing and attentive, and also so kind in letting us borrow their truck to get up the driveway. They left us some snacks as a nice welcome too! The RV is stocked too with tea and coffee which was great, since we hadn’t brought any with us. All the dishes and cooking necessities were there too and in great shape. It was very easy to communicate with them and if we needed anything we could text them!

Chris and Mark’s RV was one of the highlights of our trip! They are such wonderful and welcoming hosts, and their land is stunning — you’re perched high above the ocean with amazing views and great access to the south Kona coast & Captain Cook. We felt so at home and they provided everything needed for a relaxing stay and then some. Super great value; we hope to be back!

This felt like our antidote to high cost, sterile-looking tourist resorts, but with a resort worthy view, and genuine hospitality. The Comfy RV was exactly our speed, and was a magical experience. This spot is ideal if you don’t mind the quirks and nuances of an older RV and value quiet and the natural beauty of the island. The RV is older, but is well maintained, clean and well stocked with what you need to cook, etc. The lanai has the most gorgeous view and is an excellent spot to sit with a cup of coffee, we saw whales one morning, or to do homework midday as my kids did. The evening sunset is beautiful. Mark and Chris are kind and generous hosts. Getting down the driveway from the main road definitely requires 4WD…, for sure. My only hesitation in recommending this gem is that I don’t want it to be booked up the next time we visit! Part of why we want to come back to Hawaii is to have a chance to stay there again.

3 nights at Gingerhill Farm Retreat
This was my landing place before spending the rest of my time camping on the island. The bed in the yurt was very comfy (I had the best nights of sleep!) and had just enough space for my things. I really enjoyed the kitchen and outdoor seating area that looked out to the ocean, and I especially enjoyed the nice hot shower.
I was a little confused with the parking (I initially parked in the area that was meant for the other lodging sites) as I didn't see the "yurt" on the signs pointing to the other parking area. Even though I ran into a staff member who ended up helping me find my way, I was given a very impersonal and rushed overview of where things were (bathrooms, kitchen, washrooms, etc.).

This is a very special place! Very sweet people and well kept land and rental spaces. I give it all the stars. The shared kitchen and shared bathroom that comes with renting the Cacau sweet were nice and were low use (not many other renters using them). The land is magical with fruit trees and flowering plants everywhere! You can also walk up the hill through the coffee farm. The frogs are loud at night but I enjoyed them. ear plugs provided on the night stand for those who don’t.

The Bamboo Cabin was a delightful glamping+ experience. We spent most of our time out on the lanai looking out at the tropical plants and food forest. We were grateful for the refrigerator so we could make use of the outdoor kitchen which was fun and easy to use. The composting toilet outhouse was clean and the toilet was very simple to use. We fell asleep in the comfy bed to the sound of frogs and rain on the tin roof.
Try all the recommendations in the book—they’re solid. Super J’s has delicious local fare, including the vegetarian stew. I really appreciated that they had a yummy vegetarian option. Definitely check out the magic sand beach, especially if you enjoy diving into the waves like me.
Also, there is no check out procedure, so pack in and pack out and leave the place as you found it (or better).

Ruebon (the host) and his wife were amazing. The instructions to access the property were extremely clear. Additionally, he was there to greet us with a very warm welcome and explain where we would be staying. The property itself is amazing and I can’t think of a better scene to wake up to. Their hospitality was off the charts and I highly recommend this stay!

The yurt is set on a beautiful farm and has all the amenities you'd need. I'd recommend bringing ear plugs if you are a light sleeper-as the sounds of the lush and dense tropical forest night life (maybe frogs) continue all night! My family and I were comfortable here for our 2 night stay and were able to dine in for all meals with the provided kitchen and fridge

3 nights at Magical yurt, stunning spa bathroom
Magical yurt with so many amazing points to mention. Spacious and well equipped kitchen, great location. The spa bathroom feels so luxury - though be sure to bring your own hairdryer - I got caught out with that! Every other thing you would expect from a hotel or vacation rental was included though - even flippers!

We loved this location. So close to lots of the activities we had planned around Kona. Also not far from restaurants and a laundromat.
The room was close to the parking area. We had a little decking where we could dry our swimwear. The room was nice and spacious so we could spread out our suitcases. Didn’t explore the farm much because it was raining but loved patting the cat that liked to sleep on the decking. The room also felt very private and the farm is behind a locked gate.
Definitely recommend
