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.
We have beautiful furnished cabins with beds, so you don't have to pitch a tent. Pillows, blankets, fresh towels provided.

Welcome to Jasmine Nights Vacation Rental—your peaceful Kona retreat perched above the coastline with sweeping ocean views and unforgettable sunsets. This thoughtfully designed studio blends the magic of outdoor island living with the comfort of a modern indoor sanctuary, creating a uniquely Hawaiian stay for beach lovers, adventurers, and anyone seeking quiet relaxation.
The heart of this space is the spacious screened-in lanai, a breezy tropical living area that serves as your kitchen, dining space, and lounge. The kitchenette is located here on the lanai, so you can cook while enjoying ocean breezes, birdsong, and the soft rustle of palms. With a futon lounge, café seating, privacy curtains, and gentle lighting, the lanai invites slow mornings with coffee and unforgettable evenings watching the sky turn pink and gold over the Pacific.
Inside, the studio offers cool comfort and peaceful rest. A plush queen bed, a dedicated desk workstation, and a private bathroom with shampoo, conditioner, and body wash dispensers ensure that your stay is easy and relaxing. Large sliding doors connect the indoor space to the open-air lanai, allowing you to flow seamlessly between indoor comfort and outdoor living.
Located at a cool 650' elevation, the property enjoys natural ocean breezes—no air conditioning needed—and sits in a quiet residential neighborhood. Two friendly dogs live on the property and may offer a warm welcome. You’ll have a private entrance through a bamboo gate, designated parking, and quick access to some of Kona’s best beaches, snorkeling spots, restaurants, and coastal viewpoints. Walua Road, a favorite local walking and running route, is just a block away.
Whether you’re here to explore volcanoes and waterfalls, dive with manta rays, or simply relax with a view, this outdoor-living studio delivers the best of the Big Island: peaceful, scenic, comfortable, and perfectly positioned for both adventure and rest.
Come breathe the ocean air, cook on the lanai, and watch the sun melt into the horizon at your own private slice of Hawaiʻi.

The tree frog serenade must be heard to be believed. If you're looking for an inexpensive and beautiful place to stay near Volcanoes, Yip Camp is great -- has a marine toilet, an enclosed shower with hot water, and Thomas keeps fresh batteries in numerous lanterns for you to use. They're in the middle of a fern and 'ohia tree forest. Thomas and Yip the dog are friendly and courteous. Don't be put off by the drive on a dirt road -- there are plenty of those in Big Island upcountry!

This is a special place, accessible, private and well maintained. The yip cottage with a hot shower is fun and well appointed. Even with other campers on site there was plenty of room and privacy. The cool night temperatures made it restful. Mahalo, Tom for the great conversations and hosting. I enjoyed the stay!

Weekend Trip to Coco Hut Glamping at Honua La'a
What a unique and remarkably peaceful place. The yurt was extremely comfortable, including the bed, and the hosts were very kind. We would 100% stay here again if we were in the area. Our two-wheel SUV did okay but we needed a little momentum to get up out of the property back onto the road. We did not attempt to take it down to the green sand beach. Definitely stay here to get away from the crowds and absolute silence aside from the sound of rain on the rooftop when it comes and tons of lovely birds.

1 night at Coco Hut Glamping at Honua La'a
Lovely stay, I wish we had more than one night. The stars at night were so clear. We didn't meet Debbie in person but she was so kind, attentive, and quick to respond and check-in with us. They've clearly put a lot of thought and care into both the set-up of the cabin and the surrounding area, it has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The scenery was like being on Mars. The night we stayed was so very windy we had to make sure our items weren't being blown away - part of the fun!! Definitely check the weather ahead of time if you're wanting to do a campfire. The hot outdoor shower was the best we had on Big Island and so welcome with this chilly weather. The green sand beach was so much fun to visit but you definitely need 4x4. The approach road to the campsite is not bad at all, just go slow and make sure you get groceries etc. in advance/early as the area's quite remote.

Weekend Trip to Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center
This was such a fun stay! The cabin was full of character and Thomas was so welcoming and laid-back. We loved our encounters with the namesake host and property security (Yip). The cabin is close to a couple other camping sites on the land but it still feels private. The cabin itself was super comfortable - warm bed, hot shower, and cool loft which came in handy for drying our perpetually damp clothes.
The rainforest around the site is lush and dense. No stars as it was dumping the whole weekend but the sounds of the rain pattering on the roof and the symphony of coquis made for the perfect lullaby. We had a 4x4 so getting to the cabin was no problem but I'd definitely drive slow on the approach road as it's very dark at night and puddles/potholes seem to spawn in a few hours!
Mahalo again, Thomas! We hope to see you again.

I loved this site!! Situated on a beautiful farm with a fantastic view of the ocean, this was the perfect place to spend a rainy night.
The cabin itself was super cozy and cute, and while there are two other cabins on the property, ours felt completely private. The porta potty was the cleanest one I’ve ever encountered, and the outdoor shower had hot water, which was super nice. I appreciated how well-lit the site was, with motion sensor lights right outside the cottage and by the bathroom area. The property was gated and the door locked with a key, which made us feel super secure.
This site was amazing, and I would definitely return!!!

7 nights at Yip Camp and Eco-Retreat Center
Yip Camp is easily accessible, located on the big island of Hawaii. This property is just a few miles from Volcano National Park off a cinder forest road. It’s a beautiful place, with chickens and roosters roaming the grounds, very green lush and peaceful. We stayed in the tiny “cottage”. It was exactly what we expected. Rustic, & charming. A dry place to lay our heads after a long day of exploring the island. It has a queen sized bed, a loft with a bed, a table, lanterns, a tabletop burner, pans etc. There is an outdoor toilet and shower with lots of hot water. A table and chairs to sit on outside. There was also a place to have a campfire and a picnic table. Thomas was an excellent host, very friendly and offered ideas of places to visit, explore and dine. Yet he gave us plenty of privacy. He was very easy to get a hold of the day we flew in & returned phone calls promptly. I intended to camp in a tent, but I’m happy I booked the cottage as it rained every day the entire week. Even though it was wet the roads were always accessible. My husband and I had a great experience and would recommend Thomas property Yip Camp to others who were looking for an adventure and a bit of the outdoors and the country over staying in Hilo or Kona.

3 nights at Coco Hut Glamping at Honua La'a
My man friend and I stayed at the Coco Hut just as it was coming back online after a period of less frequent hosting. We were lucky enough to spend three nights here in a surreal landscape of lava rock, intermittently spaced okai trees, breeze, sky, and, at night, an aggressively loud set of stars. That's the only loud thing about this place as it is otherwise incredibly serene and peaceful. As people who were intending to camp, we were super comfortable in a big bed in a clean little rondavel / yurt/ cabin with a detached rustic toilet area. Thoughtful touches with a disproportionately wide reach started with warm hospitality and responsiveness by our hostess, Debbie, and extended to the cooler (stocked with enough ice for the first night), the outdoor shower stocked with all of the toiletries one would need, a propane burner, a cleaning station for dishes, two serviceable knives and a cutting board, & two each of utensils/plates/mugs.
The location is close to very cool outdoors activities. We enjoyed driving and then walking the rest of the way down the increasingly ROUGH Road to the Sea to check out the green sand beach, as well as an excellent tour of the volcanically created lava tubes, Kula Kai Caverns. At the caverns, you can go on a low commitment, short tour or a longer tour billed at $98 for 2 and 1/2 hours. We chose the latter and had a deep reveal in all senses of the word under the care and education of can tour guide Mo. Wonderful stay w/ great folks!

Wendy's place was a slice of paradise wrapped inside a full serving of paradise. Like any holiday there were a few hiccups , but Wendy was in full contact and we were treated as if it were our home . We will be back .
The only real problem that could be resolved would be the cats prowling around . I counted 5 that came around regularly looking to be fed.

Weekend Trip to 🌈 Rainbow’s End Farm & Homestead!
We enjoyed our comfy bed and deck perch in the jungle. The open kitchen was lovely to cook in. Wendy was away, but communication was excellent, and the caretakers were available, helpful and welcoming. We were driving a Honda Fit with very low clearance, so we drove the rocky road VERY slowly, and planned to come and go only once a day (we spent two nights). I would stay there again for sure, but only if I had a vehicle with higher clearance.

Weekend Trip to Sunrise Cabanas Panoramic Views
This was our second early-December stay here. The property is in an excellent location above Naalehu, is easy to find, and has spectacular views of the surrounding hillside and ocean. Brian, the onsite manager, was responsive and friendly, and made us feel welcome. The cabins are cute and clean, and the crickets and coqui frogs serenaded us to sleep. The outdoor shower is private and clean, and has plenty of hot water. This is a simple little gem of a place, and we would definitely stay here again.
