Farmstay vacation rentals in Hawaiian Islands

Location matched well the photos and description. Very affordable place to stay for a family or group of friends. Location is conveniently between the volcano and Hilo and feels very safe. It is remote from shops and restaurants, but great place to stop if you are looking to explore the wet side of the big island. We enjoyed the robust sounds of the nature (lots of frogs and birds), but if you are a light sleeper it might be noisy for you. There is a distant freeway that you can hear as well as some occasional dogs barking. But in general not a lot of people or noice around. Me and my parents would stay again. Thank you!

the hosts are very friendly and a pleasure to be around. i would definitely go back

If we could give more than 5 stars we would. Everything was great! Beautiful location, easy to get to, easy to get places, great suggestions! We couldn’t have asked for a better host. We can’t wait to go back

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.

We loved our stay with Roy and Joy! The location can’t be beat - the views are amazing and the property beautiful and well maintained. Roy and Joy’s friendliness and generosity made this place unique and special. We loved all the fresh fruit they shared from their garden as well as their advice on places to go. We were thrilled to be in what felt like a remote oasis, with easy access to some cool places. For example, we had fun snorkeling and exploring at Two Steps, which you can see from the house! We were grateful for the extra things they had available like fins and masks, beach chairs, and yoga mats. Not to mention their yummy coffee!

We really enjoyed our short stay at Big Island Cottage #1 The place was clean and fit our needs. Cherie is a great host and provided us with fast and friendly communication. Definitely recommend renting from Cherie.

Loved getting to pick the oranges and having fresh squeezed orange juice in the morning and sitting out on the patio and enjoying the view. Also, eating the banana’s from the banana trees. It was a relaxing place to stay.

We had such a lovely stay. The house and surroundings are beautiful. We enjoyed resting on the peaceful porch, and my daughter enjoyed the quiet streets to get her runs in. The beds were comfortable and the house was cozy - we felt right at home. The house is perfectly located for the airport (27 min), road to Hāna (10 min), the harbor for whale watching tour (30 min - I recommend Pacific Whale Foundation), Mama’s Fish House (10 min), and the Haleakalā summit for sunrise (1hr, 10 min). The house had everything we needed, including beach chairs! Dave and Natalie were kind, welcoming, and helpful. For food, we thoroughly enjoyed Freshie’s for breakfast after the Haleakalā sunrise and ramen at the Haikushi food tuck near the grocery store. Mama’s fish house was pricey but worth it! Definitely heed Natalie’s recommendation to make reservations early.

Home away from home! Loved the outside bathroom and the visits from the cats and dogs and listening to the frogs and birds. A beautiful peaceful place on this earth!! Easy walk to the trailhead for walking down to snorkel…bring plenty of water. We would definitely stay here again!!

Todd’s place was a peaceful paradise. We were greeted with the lovely tropical sounds of birds, frogs, and crickets amongst the tropical plants and a gorgeous sunset which you could see from the lanai and also inside the house. The house is beautiful and spacious. It was very comfortable for the four of us. We were able to cook, play games, and in general enjoy our time in the house . Todd gave us a tour of his farm and some fresh vegetables. He laid out snorkeling gear for us to choose from . He was always extremely responsive and helpful. We had a wonderful time and would love to stay here again.

This place was stunning. I could go on and on about all of the wonderful things about this place. Every evening I was gifted with an incredible sunset. The songs of the frogs lulled me to sleep each night only to wake up to the songs of the birds in the morning. The property is not only lush and green but isolated, private and wonderfully peaceful. The local Kona Only market on Sunday, the poke shop down the street, the local Hawaiian lau lau shop and the excellent Coffee Shack restaurant leave you missing nothing from the tourist center of Kailua Kona except the crowds, cars and hustle and bustle of a crowded tourist center. Great snorkeling and beaches within 15 minutes.

We absolutely loved Erin’s place! It was just like the photos, if not even better. It was clean and the perfect space. We loved the peace and quiet, up the hill with great views. Erin was super friendly and helped with detailed instructions. We would highly recommend this AirBnb and will definitely be staying again. Mahalo!

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!

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.

Great stay, quiet location within close driving distance to everything we wanted to see. Would absolutely stay again, thank you!

We very much enjoyed our stay! The sunset views are beautiful, the beds are comfortable, and the kitchen is thoughtfully stocked for cooking. We especially appreciated the beach gear (boogie boards, chairs, umbrella, coolers, and towels) which we used several times as the drive to nice beaches was very short (10-15 minutes). Our family of four found the space to be the perfect size for us, and we highly recommend this home!

A wonderful, cozy home-away-from-home. Beautifully decorated and well stocked with everything we needed (including beach chairs, umbrella and cooler). The bed was very comfy too. Quiet, peaceful - a wee bit of paradise. Watching the sunsets over the ocean from the gazebo was an awesome daily event too. Mahalo, Donna and Robbie, for sharing your lovely home with us. 🌺

We had a great time staying here! The location is right up the mountain from the busy crowed, 10-15 mins drive to downtown and beaches. Loved drinking our morning coffee on the porch and hear the birds. The place is clean and has everything we needed, nice kitchen setup which you can cook a whole meal, we used the grill one night and it worked perfectly. Beautiful home! Thank you!!

Great retreat up the mountain from Kona. Lush and secluded in coffee farm. Recommended, thanks so much!

Wonderful neighborhood with a country feel, and nearby village. Loved the lanai with sunset views! Felt like we were in the "real" Hawaii and not just a tourist area. Wished there was a little more privacy with the bathroom and shower, but we accommodated.

Very spacious with beautiful views. The location was perfect for us, as we prefer quiet; but yet was an easy drive to get to Hilo. We definitely recommend this cute place.

we loved our stay, Matt and Rose's place was the perfect getaway for our 'Baby-moon'. the space is so peaceful and so much more beautiful than the pictures let on. we loved it here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat. we would stay again in a heartbeat. thanks so much Matt and Rose!

Good value for money!

What a great stay! Nice and private - the ocean view and sunrises were perfect! The porch and outdoor eating spaces were awesome. The house was clean and had everything we could think of that we’d need. And that pool was pretty snazzy, too! Everything was just perfect.
