Ocean Views from Private Lanai 1 bed/1 bath Cottage on a 100% organic Farm!



Kona Mauna Kai is a working farm on the slopes of Mauna Loa on the Big Island of Hawaii. Mauna Kai means mountain and ocean and that’s exactly what you get on our farm. 180 degree views of the beautiful Kona coastline.
On the farm, we grow avocado, macadamia nuts, and Kona coffee, oranges, lemons, limes, tangerines, bananas, guava, loquat, and many more, there’s always fresh produce in season. Stroll through the orchards and see what’s blooming.
The farmhouse cottage has a stunning 180 degree view of the beautiful Kona coast. Enjoy dinner in the cool mountain air while you watch the amazing sunset. Gaze up at the brilliant stars and relax in a lounger. Walk the grounds and enjoy the tropical flowers and plantings. You might even see the pheasant family making their rounds or the wild turkeys that mosey through.
The Farmhouse cottage can sleep 2. Completely renovated for maximum comfort in a tropical farm setting. Completely separate from the owner house with private entrance and beautiful covered lanai porch.
Kona Mauna Kai is perfectly located to enjoy the southern end of the island. Just 33 miles to the black sand beach at Punalu’u. Only 32 miles from the green sand beach at Papakolea. Honomalino Beach 6 miles from the farm.
It is also a great place to stop and rest in between Kona and Hilo before headed off to your next adventure .
Close by is Pebble Beach, Hookena Beach Park, and the old fishing village of Millolii.
If you want to get away from it all and relax in a romantic island getaway, Kona Mauna Kai Farm is the place for you.

Delightful and cozy little home on a small organic farm was a perfect contrast to the usual resort stay. The seclusion and morning views of the ocean were wonderful. Good bed, good WiFi, well -equipped kitchen and friendly pets made us feel at home. Our hosts were friendly and helpful!

Convenient and modern - but warm
The VRBO was a 20 min drive to Hilo and not far from other places we wanted to visit. It had everything we needed, but does not have air conditioning. From what we understand thats fairly common on the island, but even with the two fans it was still uncomfortably hot.

Get away from the crowds for a more peaceful experience.
On the south side this is a great place to stay. You can check out the South Unit of Volcano NP Th-Sun. Also close enough to the main NP unit. Hike to Holomolokini beach (be respectful of locals-park a bit up the road at picnic benches and realize its through a forest and your feet may get wet-an ‘adventure’). The pets were also a highlight and we loved chilling on the lanai with wonderful ocean views while petting them. Host was more then gracious. Get a more hawaiian experience!

Natural beauty... not a resort!
We enjoyed our stay here. Its an older home built in the 1940s so it gives you a true sense of an all natural Hawaiian lifestyle. The owners were wonderful and the farm truly is a beautiful work in progress. The kitties came to visit daily and as we have fur babies too, we loved them all. Their puppy was so cute and funny! We saw the little newborn lamb who was absolutely adorable. Please be aware, if you are a person who prefers hotel service, then stay at a hotel. However, if you want real Hawaiian kindness and a beautiful view of the Pacific, this is the place for you! Hoku and Adam are simply wonderful down to earth people. A great place to stay.

The property is gorgeous. It is located about an hour from Kona and hour and half from Hilo. It is the perfect spot if you want to visit both cities and the other attractions on that side of the island. The property itself has a fantastic sitting porch where can watch the sky and the weather play out. There are several livestock to watch graze and a few pets to greet. Plenty of wild animals to watch.

Amazing Stay
As soon as we walked into the cottage we felt instantly relaxed. Inside the cottage is incredibly cozy, we loved the evenings with windows open listening to the coqui frogs. We enjoyed the daily visits on our lanai from the cats, ducks and Hapa the dog. We enjoyed macadamia nuts, avocados and other fruit picked right from the trees on the property. Hokulani recommended we dine at a restaurant called Tai Shan in Ocean View. It is not to be missed! Thank you for a lovely stay Hokulani and we hope to be back again one day.

Wonderful Farmhouse, Wonderful Location
Our flight to Kona was delayed due to an incident at the Kona airport. We arrived to the farmhouse after dark. Being that this is a rural area and working farm it was pitch black when we arrived. But Google maps led us right to the property without issue. The owner’s instructions on getting to and entering the property was flawless. Heather, the owner, was easy to communicate with. Being a rural area most things are at least 45-60 minutes away and those closest close by 8:30. But there was information about what was available nearby for shopping, eating and activities. We were greeted in the morning by the farm’s sheep, roosters, cats and dogs - Hapa & U’i. The view from the lanai in back was spectacular - picture postcard view of the ocean and the sunsets. While many of our daily activities were in Kona, the farm’s location only 45 minutes from South Point made exploring the most southern part of the island easy. Definitely will return on our next Hawai’i vacation.

Little slice of paradise
Stayed here as a “vacation from vacation” at a resort with family… just what we were looking for. Clean, comfortable, low-key setting among the small farms on the lush lower slopes of Mauna Loa. “Nothing fancy” but restful and relaxing. Nice location away from the hustle of Kona and closer to the wild southern tip of the island. The view from the deck is amazing! Host Hokulani is great. Thanks again for a lovely stay!

This was the perfect property for us. We enjoyed being off the beaten path. Our hostess was just that, a "hostess". She was very responsive to our questions regarding the area and met what ever small needs we had (like request for more bird seed). We enjoyed the lanai immensely and spent a lot of time just watching birds, sun sets, the ocean, and the farm hen with her chicks. The only draw back is the distance from activities. However, it was worth it for us to be off the beaten path of town. I would highly recommend it to others.

Relaxation on the Big Island
It is isolated from the tourist hotels and big cities and 100% relaxing, which is what we wanted. A drive of 1-2 hours from any of the big cities and tourist destinations, but 10 minutes from the rocky coast of Kona and a short hike to black sand and green sand beaches. The accomodations were impressive with a large living area, huge deck and beautiful views. I would recommend this place to anyone who is interested in getting away from the large hotels and crowded beaches.
