Farmstay vacation rentals in South Kona

The Bananarama Cottage is the coziest place we've stayed at so far. Rob and Bob welcomed us with a delicious loaf of bread and a piece of cake from their own bakery. They are incredibly kind and welcoming hosts. The cottage is beautifully furnished, and we didn’t miss a thing. After three months of traveling, this was the perfect place to slow down and recharge. The proximity to Volcanoes National Park is great, and the whole area offers plenty of opportunities for activities. We would come back anytime and can highly recommend it to everyone.

Cozy spot with a beautiful yard. Loved sitting on the porch and playing with the dog. Too comfortable beds. Very welcoming and friendly hosts. Highly recommended.

This spot exceeded our expectations! We were very comfortable inside and loved walking around the property and exploring hidden swimming holes. Keith was a great host, showed us around the property and had means in place to repel any bugs. We loved meeting all of the farm animals! The space itself was very clean and tidy with incredible views of the water. We wish we stayed for longer!

Fantastic stay - best place to stay on the Big Island! What an amazing location, with a fantastic view! Private and relaxing, looking out onto coffee trees and the ocean. The place is everything that's promised and more. Great kitchen for cooking dinner if you don't feel like going out, an amazing outdoor shower, a GIANT TV for the times you want to just relax, and outdoor space that's private and tranquil. Everyone I communicated with was immediately responsive, and had suggestions for places to go (especially coffee farms), and responded very quickly. I can't recommend this place enough - we may be coming back again and staying here if it's available again! PS - the frogs: some people may love them, some may not like the noise. I didn't mind them at all at night, and had a white noise app in case they were very vocal (especially after the rain). Never did see one. Oh! And considering it's in the upcountry, no bugs/minimal wildlife, nothing to stress you out!

Roy and Joy were very nice with great suggestions and shared delicious coffee, fruit, and vegetables from the spacious property. House has high and expansive view of the coast and ocean from main bedroom with balcony and living and dinning rooms. Large kitchen with extensive cookware and beautiful views of tropical florals. Road is bumpy but doable with 2-wheel drive and some clearance. Terrific choice for west side of Big Island and we definitely would come again!

Beautiful and peaceful location. Watch gorgeous sunsets with panaromic voews pf the ocean right from the deck! Great snorkeling close by if you're comfortable getting in from rocks. Private pool to enjoy when you've had enough salt water for the day.

My wife and I had a wonderful 9 day honeymoon exploring the big island. Beautiful sunsets, spacious accommodations and friendly hosts awaited us whenever we returned from our adventures. Close proximity to local beach, shopping, and restaurants made things easy. Could not have worked out better for what we wanted. Thank you Deb and Bob for being so hospitable. We hope to visit again someday.

Artistic Cabin in the Forest was a great place to stay for my wife traveling alone. Here is her review: Anzu was attentive and kind. The cabin felt very private and safe. I had everything I needed. The bed was perfectly comfortable. The front porch was a great place for morning coffee and watching the sun rise or hanging out any time of day or evening. And the view of the gardens was so beautiful. I appreciated the supplies provided for every need, for the kitchen and beyond. I also appreciated all of the ways the host made my stay more comfortable, including the lovely art on the walls. And It was convenient to get to Hilo, Pahoa or up to Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. Next time I am in the area I would definitely stay here again.

Charming, peaceful, and full of character, this farm stay in Kona was a perfect retreat. The setting was lush and serene, with cozy accommodations and a sweet resident cat who made the experience even more special. We loved the quiet, natural surroundings and appreciated the thoughtful touches from the host. A lovely spot to unwind and enjoy a more local, down-to-earth side of the Big Island.

Our stay was fantastic! The place was super clean and beautifully maintained. From sunrise to sunset, you’re immersed in nature’s beauty, making every moment serene. The friendly dogs, cats, and goats added such a charming, playful vibe to the experience. The host was incredibly responsive and supportive, ensuring we had everything we needed. Highly recommend this gem for a peaceful, nature-filled getaway!

Our stay at the farm was wonderful - beautiful, peaceful surroundings. The bed was comfy, the kitchen was well appointed, and the screened in lanai was a fabulous place to gather, watch the sunset, and relax. Not a big deal , but the tv is in the bedroom, so watching a family movie is difficult. There was an ample supply of snorkeling gear, a cooler, and boogie boards, which we much appreciated. Rivah and Johan couldn’t have been more pleasant and accommodating. They’re great people, and they roast some delicious coffee beans. Thanks, Rivah and Johan, for sharing your paradise with us.

It was our second stay at this property. It is a wonderful tropical private oasis. The hosts were very responsive, friendly, and offered local tips to explore this quiet part of Hawaii.

It was a nice place. Pretty view! Cold in the mornings, we used the space heater. The neighbors were a little noisy, someones dogs were barky too. Prepare with a small cooler if doing day trips, for beach time, there isn't one to borrow.

Amazing view and great vibes at this place. Neighborhood was very chill and there is great coffee and breakfast burritos less than 5 minutes away at Uncle Kimos. Would definitely stay here again when we come back to Hawaii.

This place was exactly like described on the listing. Really enjoyed our stay here wish we could have stayed longer. The neighbors were awesome The View was pretty cool. I normally don't give five star ratings to too many places but because it was exactly like described and it was clean and it was quiet in the house. It was worth the money and it's worth the five star rating.!

If you want peaceful, beautiful, far from the crazy crowds of Kailua accommodations, Glenn's charming Chameleon Suite is for you. He is an attentive and very informative host, whocan provide you with a wealth of knowledge about sites to see and dinning options. Everyplace that we eat at that he recommended were superb. He is a botanical wizard whose land is truly a garden of earthly delights. Be prepared to do some driving to reach some of the attractions and dining spots, but it is well worth it. We would love to return.

Kendall was a pleasure to work with. Space was fantastic. He even helped us out with our Turo rental and returned it to Kona for us. Extremely generous and we thank him dearly for that!!

Our stay for 4 people was great ! From check in to check out ! Everything that was listed was there for us. The view was just breath taking & enjoyed our beautiful morning view and sunset view as well. Highly recommend for those who are looking for a quiet peaceful and scenic place to stay , that would be right here.

All of us enjoyed our stay at Debbie’s place. It was the perfect size for 5 of us; and that extra 1/2 bath was truly great to have! We really enjoyed eating the eggs from Debbie’s chickens that she left for us. We ate them scrambled and soft boiled and all were so delicious!! We picked fruits and flowers from their huge yard and we made friends with their dogs, birds and cows. We wanted to take a picture at the house with our Broken Dog Ranch shirts, but I felt bad that we were already late checking out. So we got together on Oahu for our photo shoot! 😁 This was my 2nd time staying at Debbie’s beautiful hale and I would definitely stay there again! Mahalo nui loa for your warm hospitality, Debbie! A hui ho! Joan I.

A quiet, cool spot to get away from the crowds and beach area. We enjoyed the temp drop when you climb in elevation to the house. The area seemed very safe and I never worried about theft or trouble. Nice area with nice people around the house. You will be about 20 minutes from Costco and are at a central starting point to go north or south. We didn't spend a whole lot of time at the house other than to sleep and be out enjoying the Big Island.

Words really don’t do a good job of describing just how beautiful this home and property are. So peaceful and serene. A true treasure. You will not be disappointed. Easy and straightforward check in. Great communication from Brenda. We look forward to returning.

Our family loved the house. There was plenty of space for everyone and the set up was perfect for our needs. We especially loved sitting on the lanai in the mornings and evenings, and falling asleep to the sound of the tree frogs. The location was a further from the ocean than we realized, but we enjoyed the lushness of the hilly terrain and would stay there again. Susan and Iris were very responsive when we reported a few minor appliance issues and it didn't impact our overall experience.

Lorelle was there for us from the start, help to navigate, places to go… Always attentive to what we need. Beach towels and snorkeling gear is there and available to use.

Such a cute home. Very clean and peaceful. Dogs allowed and welcome. We stayed there and drove into Hilo (30min drive) for a dinosaur exhibit, Merrie Monarch festivities, and Akaka falls. We brought food to cook one night and got take out from Hilo the other night. Great kitchen to cook in. My 5yo son loved the BIG shower head!
