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....

This lovely farm cottage was a perfect place to relax after exploring the incredibly diverse island of Hawaii. It is situated off the beaten track of Kona and the resort areas but conveniently enough to the Volcano National park, South Point, and Black Sand Beach. Couldn’t ask for nicer hosts. Really enjoyed fresh fruit from the farm and hope to visit again in the future.

We stayed at this property for 10 days in Oct and had a marvelous time.
Pros:
- very clean
- nice touches like good quality draperies, dishes and bedding, good appliances and well stocked kitchen. It is not fancy, but nice
- good communication with hosts; friendly people but not intrusive
- jaw dropping panorama views of the lush slope, with the ocean beyond and magical sunsets
- veranda is not pictured in the photos and it was better than expected: quite large with decent furniture including small dining table as well as coffee table and chairs, and 2 comfy lounge chairs.
- Even if it was 29 or 30 degrees celsius during the day, it cooled off nicely at night. In fact some nights we had to close the windows as it was a bit too cool for us. I wished I had brought a sweater for the evenings, but there were blankets in a trunk
- this is a rural area so you will hear frogs, neighborhood dogs, goats/ sheep bleating. With the dawn the roosters start to crow. What you won't hear is annoying people noise.
Cons:
- The road to Kona is a very curvy, but has reflectors which makes it doable in the dark. Arriving late in the dark it was a bit tricky finding the right door
-if you plan to see Volcano Park / S Point, as well as Kona this is a great halfway point. If you plan to do most of your activities in the Kona area or N, expect to drive that curvy road alot. Affordable groceries were an hour north. Our favorite beach was Kahalu'u, which was 45 min north.

We enjoyed being away from Kona and close to outdoor activities. The dog and cats were fun and hosts pleasant.

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!

The cottage is comfortable, the location is peaceful, and the view is amazing! We had a great time and we highly recommend this if you prefer to stay somewhere outside of the crowded, touristy areas.

We had a lovely, relaxing stay here. The view from the farm cottage in unparalleled. Hosts were welcoming and wonderful. Home is clean and well stocked, even with beach gear! It was nice to be close to farms, nature, beaches and fresh produce in South Kona. Highly recommend!

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.
