Tiny house holiday rentals in Island of Hawai'i

Excellent location, great rental!

Exactly what you would expect. Peaceful, beautiful, and a lovely escape from the daily grind. Unfortunately, it was dry enough that we didn’t get to see the waterfalls, but we could tell that they would be absolutely gorgeous under normal conditions. In general, you want a four-wheel-drive on the big island, and probably something along the lines of a Jeep Wrangler. There are some things that Keith told us about that we were interested in doing, but the vehicle we had wasn’t able to do them. We were able to spend an evening chatting with Keith and it was a great time. He has a lot of good ideas and hidden places to find on the island so you should really ask him about them. Ultimately, this was our favorite stay when we were in Hawaii, both because it was peaceful and quiet, but also because of the ability to get away from the bustle and grind of the rest of the island. The weather for us was beautiful and mosquitoes weren’t a problem. The mosquito coils provided worked wonders. App

First thing I must say is that the beds were very comfortable! The location was great, not too far from Kona activity but far enough away you can feel like you’re in the quiet country. (Minus the charming frogs at night but it was cool enough to shut the windows). Excellent view of the ocean. Having laundry was so helpful. We had 5 people there. A little tight… perfect for 4 but it was fine for 5 using pull out couch. Would definitely stay again!

Very good place to stay. Highly recommend to anyone it’s a beautiful cottage. It’s destined to exceed expectations, seriously.

I can’t say enough good things about my stay in the Eco Hale. From the detailed directions to the cabin, to the very warm welcome, Kaeo’s responsiveness, the beauty and serenity of the property, to little details like woolen socks & a going-away bag, everything was 100% on point and what I was looking for to relax and get away from it all. I felt very taken care of from the moment I arrived. The property is safe, exceptionally maintained, and surrounded by beautiful plants, with the sounds of geckos, birds, coqui frogs and rain. Listening to nature while doing yoga or soaking in the tub was the highlight of my trip! Kaeo and Karl really have thought of everything, and are the kindest hosts anyone could ask for. 10/10 experience—I hope to be able to visit again!

The green cottage I stayed in was really cute and dainty. This was a perfect personal rainforest experience right in your backyard and if you are looking for peace and serenity. Her entire property was gorgeous and I am still dreaming of it as I am back home on the mainland now. 😊 At night, you will hear the Cokee frogs (LOL! I thought they were birds till I learned that they were frogs!) but I just closed all the windows and that helped me sleep through the night. Her dog, Kalo, is the most sweetest dog I have ever met. He is quiet and calm. He came up and cuddled up next to my legs when I arrived. She is very attentive to messages and questions. If you get lost and lose wifi connection you can contact and call her. The GPS was a little challenging for me once on the road to towards the cottage since my cellular carrier does not have the greatness reception. A nearby neighbor was kind and redirected me in the right direction. 🤗

We love this area. We stayed for several weeks and loved it. The bed is super comfy and the elevation is perfect - no AC needed but still just 15 minutes to most things. loved it!

This was the perfect jump off spot to the national park. Jeff’s house was a wonderful space with attention to detail that made us feel at home. A long soak in the outdoor tub was perfect after exploring all day and the kitchen well appointed.

What a cozy little place! The private lanai feels like you're deep in the jungle, so serene and relaxing. Some fun, thoughtful little touches too. The spacious bathroom is fantastic.

This was the perfect place to stay while exploring the island. It’s close to the airport and main roads but also feels far from the city. We loved seeing the ocean from the porch while eating breakfast. It was such a lovely way to start the day!

This place serves its purpose. Out of the way very quite road. The froggs sing you to sleep:) Bed was very comfortable. The Black and white cat is so friendly, he loves people. Place was well presented. Appreciate staying there.

We had a fantastic stay. The hosts are very friendly and responsive. The place was very clean and has everything you need. It has a very beautiful view of the city as well as the water. There are beautiful beaches within driving distance. It was located 20 min from the airport. It is also only 5-10 min drive from very good cafes and restaurants as well as shops (local as well as retail such as Walmart, Safeway, target, Costco). We will definitely be keeping this place in mind whenever we return to this beautiful island!!! 🏝️😄

Very unique and beautiful treehouse and property. Loved staring at all the lush vegetation. And the mattress was incredibly comfortable!

The space was located at a bend in the creek and the running water, frogs, and light rain made the sleeping peaceful.

The cottage was an architectural beauty! Very well built and decorated, without being cluttered. It had everything we needed and was just down the street from the park where we hiked. Local recommendations for food were spot on, and we had some amazing meals. I hope we can someday make it back.

We had a special and relaxing stay. We enjoyed the fresh air, greenery, and beautiful view. Also the sound of the rain while we were sleeping in the cozy room was a very memorable experience. Laura is a wonderful host, attentive to detail and very nice! Would highly recommend

Don’t hesitate booking this stay! So comfortable and has everything you need and things you didn’t even know you needed! Lovely small shopping area down the hill!

Place was clean and easy to find. Excellent communication.

We highly recommend staying at Santai Cottage. The setting was very beautiful, peaceful and private. We enjoyed having the beach gear, hot tub and option to cook our own meals. Lots of windows and covered porches for a true indoor/outdoor living experience. We had everything we needed for an excellent stay. Thank you Karen, you were a great host!

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.

This cabin was pure magic! Private and screened in, it gave us the perfect jungle escape with total comfort. The outdoor shower was absolutely incredible-an incredible experience surrounded by the sounds and sights of the jungle, with visits from the coolest little geckos! The outdoor pool was perfect for cooling off, and the outdoor kitchen had everything we needed for cooking surrounded by trees. The location couldn’t be better-perfectly placed for exploring the Hilo side of the island. A special shout-out to Kevin – on our drive in, my husband regretted not bringing his guitar. On a whim, I messaged Kevin to see if he had one. Not only did he have a guitar, but he had it out and ready for us upon arrival. It made such a meaningful difference in our trip – music, sunsets, and time together just felt complete. Kevin and Rachael were responsive, thoughtful, and genuinely kind people. We’re already dreaming about our next stay at their perfect little cabin paradise. Highly recommend!

Loki and Frank were amazing hosts! Our short stay felt so special. It was cozy! Super comfy bed, robes and slippers. The space was spotless and had the best amenities!We loved the cranberry orange loaf w/fruit from their land. There’s such meaningful detail that isn’t captured in the photos, that adds so much to the experience! Located on their beautiful property, but also felt very private. Loki and Frank showed us so much aloha, they are wonderful people. We loved our stay!

Absolutely luxury home, thought out to finest details of lighting and everything. For us a slight downside was absence of a washing machine and a dryer, this is in the description, but we missed it assuming otherwise. Enjoyed our stay there with great hikes in the Volcanoes NP and trips to Hilo. Thank you, Mike!

Our stay here was wonderful!!! Connie was a great host!! The cabin felt comfortable and just like home. We loved being in the forest, it was so peaceful and relaxing! Connie was very responsive to any questions! Her recommendations around the area were all top notch!! We loved staying here! Hope to stay again in the future! Thanks!!
