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.

Warning! This is a Hipcamp not a resort lol. If you love tranquility and nature this might be the spot for you! It is an open air establishment complete with lizards and yes, some bugs and even a few mosquitoes. We have new mosquito nets up and bathroom now has a cool bamboo door for privacy. Because it is open air please do not expect it to be sterile. Mahalo! 🌺
I bought this land 14 years ago and have slowly been hand clearing and building fancy forts ever since. Off-grid with solar power, propane hot water heater and delicious running spring water. Nurturing space for healing and communing with nature. 🌱

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.

Weekend Trip to Sunrise Cabanas Panoramic Views
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.

We had a great time. The rooms are comfortable, with ceiling fans and several screened windows to create a breeze. Showers and bath rooms are very close, and even though they are outside, the walk to and from is protected from the rain. The kitchen area was well appointed, with several sinks and a stove, dishes, kettles, things for coffee, and more. The site itself is gorgeous, with great views. Belinda was in touch throughout also, and very helpful. She was able to move a second bed to the room before we got there. It was very quiet too. We loved it.

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!

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).

Thomas was incredibly accommodating as we booked this cabin last minute so that we could spend more time on the east side of the Big Island without having to drive back to Kona. He was there to greet us in the evening when we arrived after a day at the park, and was there to send us off as we continued on our journey in the morning.
This cabin provides more of a camping feel as the property is off the grid, but you'll find all the essentials such as a full sized bed, linens, warm shower and a toilet. If you're like me and attract mosquitos, bringing a mosquito net may be useful as well.

We loved staying at Wendy’s! She was an incredibly generous host and communicated really well. As soon as we landed in Kona, she let us know that a volcano was fountaining, told us to head straight there, and had no issues with our late check-in as a result! Literally a once in a lifetime opportunity we would have missed if not for Wendy.
The space itself was beautiful. Wendy’s property is gorgeous and she gave us a lovely tour of all the fruit trees she’s planted. The little cabin we stayed in was cozy and we loved having breakfast out in the deck. If we’re ever in the area again, we’d stay at Wendy’s in a heartbeat.
