Cabin vacation rentals in Polynesia

This house is just as tranquil and majestic as it looks in the photos. We loved falling asleep to the sounds of frogs and birds, drinking our coffee outside in the morning in a jungle oasis, and dipping in the hot tub in the afternoon. It’s a short drive to Volcano National Park and was the perfect home base while we were explored the area. We will definitely come back and would recommend to all!

The only thing that made me uncomfortable was the shower drain button. Water kept accumulating, and I had to keep pressing the button constantly to let it drain. But that’s an easy fix. Everything else was absolutely 5 stars—thank you so much for hosting!

Very unique experience. You are actually right in a jungle. With that you have some animals, insects, and noise. We had a small mishap with the ceiling when we first arrived but the hosts quickly took care of it and upgraded our rooms. The jungle rooms are a bit louder at night with the frogs and smaller compared to the other sites in the facility. Overall cool place and great hosts

5 STARS 5 STARS 5 STARS!!! My girlfriend and I went here for our 1 year anniversary and it was pure bliss. Far enough away from the city so you can have your own peace and comfort but close enough to drive wherever on the island. We loved the solitude of the location and the soothing sounds of rain, frogs, and birds surrounding the place. This place is a gem! To add, Malie was very responsive before, during, and after the process! Super helpful with great suggestions and clear instructions. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay and experience!

Lorena's place here was a little sanctuary for us to retreat back to after venturing all over the different trails near the volcano (maybe a 10-15 minute drive to most of the areas you'd want to see). While I'd definitely suggest not driving in a sedan to her home (the roads were a bit bumpy), it was nice and secluded and the trek into the neighborhood truly added to the feeling of being immersed in nature. The house was clean, looked as expected, and we loved the hot tub to relax our muscles after the long hikes. The hot tub was really clean and obviously well maintained. I also appreciated Lorena reaching out multiple times with instructions and the address to make sure we got there safely. Thanks Lorena!

Enjoyed our stay in Cabin 6, it had everything we needed for trip to the island. Short drive to VNP and other Hilo. Birds are quite vocal through the night but that’s just a part of staying off the beaten path.

We are so happy we discovered this hidden gem and will definitely be returning! It was the most incredible place we have stayed on the big islands: a perfect mixture between luxurious and natural! The pool front bungalows are pristine, comfortable and clean and are on an amazing pool deck which is like a huge tree house built in and around a vast forest of endemic Ohia trees! The pool deck features a pool, hot tub, rain showers, clean bathrooms, shared kitchen and a lounge area with many tranquil areas to relax and enjoy the forest. Drinking my morning tea in the hot tub, I saw several native birds flying among the Ohia trees! I highly recommend this place for people of all ages! My children loved it and enjoyed the freedom of not having to wear swim suits! Hosts were responsive and flexible and very accommodating!

We loved are stay the location was perfect. Star gazing at night, the fireplace was nice. Fully stock kitchen. A few roaches here at there… lol although it was cold at night and early mornings the house was stocked with extra blankets heaters etc. that was much appreciated. The only down side is only one bathroom. Overall we enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

We had an amazing week at Gwens place. The hut is really nice and just a 2 minute walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in Raratonga. It is also just a 15 Minute walk to Muri town where the night market is located. And on the opposite of the road is a convenience store. Gwen and her daughter are really lovely and helpful.

An off grid location in a peaceful and natural island setting with beautiful kitchen and bathroom. Only 10 minutes from either beautiful sites on the south coast or shops and provisions in Pahoa. Our boys loved the separate bunk building with two beds. Our group of five used alot of water but we only ran out one time. We let the host know and a refill was promptly ordered and waiting for us upon our return from the days activities. If you need communications, an AT&T network phone worked for us..(Pre-paid phones can be found at Walmart) Our group used alot of power, but the solar/battery system kept up well concidering. A group with reasonable power needs should have no problems with power availability. If you rely on a CPAP or simular device, a backup battery may be advisable to avoid interuption. Note that the nearby black sand beach is very beautiful but is a "Clothing Optional" beach. This place is at at the top of my list if I return to the east side of the Big Island.

I had a great stay at Ben and Katherine's property. The photos do not do it justice - it's tucked in the forest farms yet not far from the main road. The outside is lit up at night with plenty of solar lights through the evening and plenty of lighting inside as well. The cabin has EVERYTHING. Hot water, electricity, BBQ grill, a nice big sink by the grill for dishes and pans. The bathroom was super cool! Although it's open air, it does have two walls and a ceiling but the open area faces away from the road and into the forest for privacy. In the afternoon you can shower in the sunlight. Their son does an excellent job with the upkeep and the details throughout make you feel right at home. Communication was excellent and they were very responsive. If you want a quiet place to wind down to and wake up to close to volcano or even Hilo, this is it! I highly recommend and I look forward to coming back 😎

Beautiful location at what feels like the end of the world. We slept well and enjoyed both the sounds of nature and the beautiful and unique surroundings. While there are plenty of neighbors in the community, everyone seems to keep to themselves. It was extremely quiet and enjoyable. The firepit in the pictures is not operable, which we found out after booking and really the only downfall for an otherwise great stay. A rental vehicle is required to get there and we were grateful to have rented an SUV. Highly recommended as the roads are rock/gravel with some small hills and quite the drive, but the closest town is about 15 minutes and will have anything else you need. Bring drinking water! The pictures do the cabin justice; it is open air but well maintained, comfortable, and worth the stay. Overall very good experience!

Holly's place was exactly as described. The photos do not do it justice. Sitting on the patio at night in the hot tub or next to the beautiful firepit was extremely relaxing looking out to the tropical forest listening to the coquis exceeded all expectations. I also picked up several fantastic ideas for our upcoming home in the same area. Their home was beautiful and extremely well built and planned.

I loved going to sleep to the frog chorus. and waking up to the chickens clucking. The jungle-like surroundings are beautiful, and it's very tranquil. I was a bit unsure after reading an earlier review that said there were bugs and the hosts were difficult. I'm glad I read all of the positive comments from other guests and stayed there anyway. I found it very clean, and didn't have any "roommates" or other issues. The hostess was sweet and very available. I will come back to this lovely spot.

I really enjoyed my 5 night staycation from Kealakekua Bay. Such a contrast . Loved the misty cool air and the landscape. I especially loved that I got to bring my two small dogs. They really loved the yard ! Listing is exactly as described ! Very convenient location to Volcano National Park and the Village ! I hope to return soon! Big Mahalo and Aloha, Heidi

This was a great place to get away from it all. A little strange taking a shower under the house but we got used to it. It’s 30 min from Hilo so if you are wanting to go there daily it can be quite a drive. Overall super happy with the rental

The location on the water is unbeatable. We loved our stay here as it gave us access to the island itself. Taking a rental car around for hiking and getting access to the coral reef via kayaks was well worth our trip! I will say that we lucked out by not overlapping with renters in the house next door owned by the same management. If people were staying in the house during our stay in this house, it would not feel private. Additionally, the kitchen plates, utensils and cooking supplies were outdated and unclean. If you are looking to see the reefs yourself and looking to explore the island this is the right stay for you.

Dan was an exceptional host! He is very friendly and wanting to ensure everyone has a great experience. The view was incredible & it was wonderful getting to try fruit from the orchard even though it was a bit early for many of the fruits. The provided shampoo & lotions were great! if you need conditioner make sure to grab some. This area is remote & magical!

Amori Cabin - loved it here. Private, quiet, comfortable, clean, great location, excellent instructions from start to finish, super helpful with speedy replies. Perfect for solo traveller or a couple. Wifi was great. Very well stocked with everything you need. Air con was awesome and the screens on the windows were excellent for peace of mind too. Lovely private setting complete with roaming chickens and the odd visit from neighbours dogs. Absolutely loved my stay, didn’t want to leave! Will certainly go back next visit to the beautiful Cook Islands. ❤️

We had a fantastic stay at Robert's place! The location is amazing —just steps from a beautiful beach where we even spotted sea turtles, and within walking distance of some great local restaurants. The town of Paia itself is a charming seaside village and a great base for exploring the rest of the island. Robert's house was clean, beautifully maintained, and surrounded by gardenia and frangipane flowers. Robert had even arranged fresh flowers inside, which was such a thoughtful touch. Robert stopped by during our check-in to chat and offered recommendations and assistance with anything we needed. We felt right at home and would absolutely stay here again!

Awesome authentic off grid experience living in a super clean cabin in the woods with all the amenities you could want or need. Falling into a deep sleep in the cabin loft to the serenade of the coqui frogs or taking an instant hot water shower outdoors surrounded by only the rainforest, these are experiences that will stick with you for a lifetime. Tom and Misty are really cool and accommodating, and gave me great advice for living off grid in the Puna district. Don’t miss this rainforest cabin experience, because once you find it, you might never want to leave!

The farm cottage was delightful- a home away from home. After being out exploring the island, it was the perfect place to return to and relax and enjoy the view of the fruit orchard and the ocean beyond. We saw both single and double rainbows after a gentle rain. Madeleine left us plenty of great ideas where to explore the island and gave ideas of where to eat. We took advantage of all the suggestions. Good location to explore the coasts and the Volcano National Park. We had everything we needed and more. We would gladly return.

Every thing about Loft Vanille was amazing! The villa has a totally unique Bohemian artistic vibe - it's very private and tastefully decorated with a perfectly equipped small kitchen, private terrace, super comfy bed and the coolest coral and seashell shower ever. The grounds are beautifully landscaped and set back from the main road behind a large gate so it feels remote even though it's easy walking distance from a variety of restaurants and shops. It's the ideal location for exploring Moorea, although a rental car is truly a must on the island. The on-site hosts during our stay, Leila and Frank, were so warm and incredibly kind - always ready to provide recommendations and checking in to make sure everything was perfect during our stay. Our week in Loft Vanille was truly one of the highlights of our trip to Tahiti. Far superior to staying at one of the overpriced luxury resorts on the island, IMHO.

Wonderful! Amazing views, can walk the lagoon, clean, tidy, amazing location and equipment available to use in the lagoon. We also rented a scooter from Sonny and that was live saving. Highly recommend!
