About this property

Please read the entire description of the cabin so there aren't any surprises.
Come experience this cute cozy OFF GRID cabin nestled in the woods, surrounded by tall Ohi'a trees with lots of tropical birds to serenade you. Situated at 2000' elevation (which means it might get a bit chilly at times), on a very private, peaceful, gated 20 acre piece of land on the Southern most part of the Big Island. Located half way between Kona and Hilo with 2 grocery stores and a few restaurants nearby, 60 miles from the Hawaii Volcano National Park entrance, 15 miles from the famous Green Sands Beach and Punalu'u the black sand beach where you'll find Hawaiian Hawksbill turtles sunning on the sand.
The Kahuku Unit of the Volcano National Park is right around the corner and is now open to the public. There are beautiful hiking trails, guided or on your own, a gift shop, and information center. Open Thursday - Sunday 8-4
There are a few restaurants nearby for your dining pleasure.
The cabin is half way between the Kona and Hilo airports and takes about an hour and a half to get here from them.
The cabin has one bedroom with a queen size bed, one bathroom with plenty of tankless on demand hot water, a complete kitchen (2 burner stove top - NO OVEN) and is completely self sufficient - solar power, rain water catchment, propane appliances. Linens, dishes, pots and pans, and a coffee press are available for your convenience. Since the power is from the sun, no hair dryer, curling iron, or things of that nature can be used. There's a DVD player with a variety of movies for your entertainment. Most cell phones work here and wi-fi is available.

Smoking permitted outside only. Please no outside guests or visitors or pets.

Paradise in the Hawaiian woods

We were looking for a quiet place off the beaten path, and this property more than met the bill. The host Connie is outstanding! She quickly replied to any questions we had. The off the grid cabin is perfect for an out of the way stay. Located on the south side of the island, you are between Hilo and Kona. We so enjoyed the area's black and green sand beaches. Thanks to Connie for sharing her bit of paradise with us.

Great private cabin

We loved the privacy of this nice little cabin and couldn't get enough of all the beautiful tropical flowers in the yard. It felt very private while still being close to amenities, and Connie was great with answering any questions we had. Would definitely stay here again!

Little slice of paradise

We loved everything about our 4-night stay here and only wish we'd had more time. The cabin is cozy, comfortable and provided everything we needed to relax and feel at home. We really enjoyed being off-grid and appreciated being conscious of the amount of electricity and water we used-but certainly didn't lack anything we needed. We cooked light meals in the evening and enjoyed a few movies before bed. The stars at night from the deck were amazing. It does get cool-pack layers. The cabin is situated on the property to allow for total privacy as it's tucked back along the border of HVNP-Kuhuku Unit. The property is an oasis-the variety and mix of plants/trees is delightful. The location is excellent to explore HVNP and there are several beach options just a short drive away. The owner, Connie, provided just the right amount of hands-on when we arrived, to get us situated and provide what info we needed for the cabin and to answer any questions we had. After we checked in we didn't see anyone the entire time we were there but exchanged a text or two with Connie to ask a quick question or send a friendly check in. She really made us feel at home-like we were her invited guests as opposed to just 'renters.' We'd definitely recommend this place to any friends and family looking for an authentic taste of Hawai'i. We certainly hope to be back.

About the host

Hosted by Connie Flood

I've lived on the Big Island since 1976 and can't imagine living anywhere else. I'm an avid gardener and this place shows it. I'm also an animal lover and my dogs are my best friends. It's so nice to be able to share this amazing piece of paradise with others.

Why they chose this property

This piece of the island is very special because it's situated in an old forest untouched before I got here. Although it seems like you're in the middle of nowhere when you're here, you're not far from two small towns that have most everything you may need. The property borders a National Park and is not far from the Volcano National Park, the famous Green Sand Beach, and the Black Sand Beach. It's a perfect spot to be if you want to be away from the touristy places in town.
