Farmstay holiday rentals in Polynesia

Kerinne and Mike’s guest house was perfect for our long weekend stay. This quick trip was all about Hawaii Volcanoes National Park as we hoped to catch Episode 23 of Kīlauea’s ongoing eruption. We’d no longer gotten back to the hose and settled in, when Kīlauea started fountaining again. We raced back to the park and were never so glad to have chosen a location so close to the park as traffic was backed up for miles headed to the park when we were leaving. While the house is a little difficult to find at night, Mike was on the lookout for us and flagged us down and Kerrine’s directions ensured we were in the vicinity for Mike to see us. Friendly animals were a nice bonus! Would recommend this guest house to anyone wanting to stay near the park.

We absolutely adored our stay at Lee's stunning cottage. It was a little slice of paradise, and every day we fell asleep and woke up to the sweet sound of birds singing around us. It was also the perfect home base to launch out from and explore various parts of the island. Lee was also extremely kind and shared some delicious greens from their farm with us. We're so grateful and are already scheming on when we can come back here!

Wendy and David were absolutely lovely. The hale was gorgeous, perfectly integrated with nature. The lanai and bathroom are gems. We had the most delicious orange / tangerine of our lives right off the tree in the front yard.

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!

This property and its hosts are something special. It is not, nor does it claim to be, a luxury property. If you want resort amenities, this is not the place for you. If you are looking for a genuine feel for living on Hawaii, with a side of truly generous and friendly hosts, you have found your spot! Don't be afraid of the road. We rented a Nissan Rogue and had no issues. Take it slowly, watch for animals, potholes, and falling fruit, and you'll be fine. The property at the end of the journey is worth it! There is a lot of space to spread out in the house, and room to wander on the farm, with magnificent views from everywhere. The house is comfortable and has everything you need, and more. You won't find a more peaceful place to stay, and you won't find hosts that more perfectly personify ALOHA. They are available and excited to share their piece of paradise. We would definitely stay here again for the location, the landscape, the comfort, and (especially) the hosts.

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.

Karon and Jacqui are amazing hosts! My family and I have been staying at their rental units for years and it never disappoints. Both Karon and Jacqui are very friendly and extremely responsive and accommodating, making sure my family and I are well taken care of. Both the condo and beach cottage was perfectly suited for our needs. I would definitely come again. We had a little staycation to celebrate our birthday’s and Karon and Jacqui’s place made it memorable!

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.

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.

Seven of us stayed at this home nestled in the beautiful Makaha Valley. The home had everything we needed and more and all was of excellent quality. Cynthia provided laundry baskets in each bedroom which was an unexpected nice touch. Also, Pantene hair products and body wash in the bathrooms. On our arrival we were greeted by neighborhood chickens which we all enjoyed. The lanai outside had comfortable seating for our entire group and we used the gas grill several times. We woke to the sound of birds and frequently saw toads or large frogs. It felt like being in a nature preserve. The gated community felt very safe and was nice to walk around. It adjoins the Makaha Valley golf course which a couple of our group took advantage of multiple times. The beach is a short drive away. Our favorite spot was close to a restaurant with a great ambiance, the Beachouse at 608. Our stay at Cynthia’s place provided the relaxing environment that we all needed. We would stay here again

We are back to visit Starseed Ranch again and again! This time we stayed in the Ohana Suite with a private bathroom and kitchen. The room was very large and beautiful with sliding screened doors and windows with a private sitting area. If you want to get away from it all and stay in gorgeous surroundings this place is it! The area near the Pololu Valley Lookout is completely magical and Starseed Ranch has its' own magic within it. The hosts are wonderful and the grounds are gorgeous with outdoor eating and sitting areas that include an outdoor gourmet kitchen as well. The yoga room that sits near the creek is a wonderful space to practice or relax in while taking in the breeze, listening to the birds, and the water running along the creek. The stars at night are amazing. We will be back every year to stay at Starseed Ranch as there is no place as magical as this. Thank you Dash and Erika!

Fantastic stay. You get to hangout with all of the animals and walk the goats at sunset with the owner. They introduce you to all of the animals and you get to pet and hangout with them. The cottage itself is behind their home and it’s very clean and plenty of space for 2 people. Would definitely stay here again!

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.

I really love the place… it’s nice and clean and it feels right to spend time with family.

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.

Wonderful stay at the Kapalua Villas. Great pick for the price range. All was as described in listing. The location of this condo is spectacular! We LOVED our stay here. Impeccably clean inside, truly beautiful and relaxing garden and ocean views from the patio. Amazing coastal trails literally outside your door, which I recommend exploring all of (you can go 3 or 4 different directions from the trailhead!). Things you need do do while staying here: Snorkel Honolua Bay, go to Kahekili Beach park, hike down to the coastal cliffs from the access trail on site, and of course visit Kapalua Bay Beach (short walk from condo). Honolua Store down the road has affordable meals. Note that as this listing is very reasonably priced, you will need to pick up some of your own supplies like coffee, fruit, chocolate, anything in the fridge, potentially conditioner etc. depending on how much you use. A minor maintenance issue was made known to us before check in, and didn't effect our stay.

Awesome place! High in the mountains : beautiful view : coffee farm: I highly recommend this wonderful place

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.

This is by far one of the best properties I’ve ever stayed on with Airbnb. When I return this would be my first choice. Pictures do not do it justice. It was private and peaceful and just what my wife and I wanted. We never felt too far away from shopping or restaurants.

We met the cat, chicken, peacocks and horses during our stay. We arrived late at night and it was absolutely an adventure getting to the place, including driving past lava field and figuring out the gate/check-in in darkness. The morning view on lava field was stunningly beautiful. Our host cat was the friendliest cat we've ever met! Something to note is that due to its nature there were bugs present. Some flying ant/roach was climbing on the roof while we were laying on bed.

We would definitely stay here again. The location provided easy access to the north shore, and enjoyable walks. The unit was clean, comfortable and the deck was a lovely place to savor mornings and evenings. Full kitchen, allowed for preparing meals, and I really loved that there was a water filter pitcher in the fridge (less plastic is always a good thing)! The grill was a plus! Mary Lou and Steve were very welcoming. Parking in the garage made unloading and packing up each day super easy. We appreciated having beach gear provided, such as chairs, towels and an umbrella. Our stay was peaceful and restorative.

I had a much needed peaceful solo retreat to the big island and this place was exactly how I expected it to be! The birds were so happy and the frogs were very chatty at night. The amenities made my stay even better as I did a lot of hiking and was able to do laundry and take a hot shower and cozy up in bed after a long day. The kitchen had all of the basic utensils and dishes so I was easily able to make meals. The gas stove was great for heating up water for tea in the mornings to enjoy while sitting on the front porch. I unfortunately had to do some work during my stay but the internet speed was great and I was able to have video call without issues. I have already recommended this place to my friends and family! I cannot wait for the opportunity to bring my family here one day as I would certainly stay here again!

A peaceful hideaway full of character and local charm We absolutely loved our stay at this cozy little cottage. It’s beautifully maintained, thoughtfully equipped, and tucked into a lush, peaceful setting that feels far from the tourist crowds. The porch was our favorite spot—especially during the warm evening rains, which made everything feel extra relaxed. We quickly made friends with the local chickens, roosters, and even the neighbor’s sheep, and every night we were serenaded by a lively chorus of frogs and birds. It’s nature’s soundtrack at full volume—so light sleepers might want earplugs, but we loved it. This place is full of personality, super comfortable, and perfect for anyone looking to unwind and enjoy the quieter side of the island. Highly recommend!
