Granma's Cabin Kona coast
About this cabin rental
Nestled in Kalaoa, this charming cabin for $130 per night is a great choice for your next vacation. Official website. When Granma was 95, we had to move her in with us to take care of her. This left her little panabode cabin (900 square feet with a 500 square-foot wrap-around lanai) vacant. Lucky you . . . you can spend your Hawaiian vacation in this beautiful, quiet, and centrally located cabin which has just about everything. There is a complete kitchen, a bath with tub and shower, a washer/dryer, a living/dining room, and a cable TV . There is also a big gas barbecue, and birds for a morning alarm clock. We even left all the little nick knacks in place to make this is truly a 'home-away-from-home'. The home is backed by a herb farm and macadamia nut orchard. It is surrounded by mac nuts, lychee, and mango, avocado, and citrus trees. If anything is in season during your stay, you are welcome to enjoy it. The big island of Hawaii is almost 200 miles around. As you tour the island and along the Kona Coast you can see cattle ranches, rain forests, lava fields, volcanoes, snowcapped mountains in the winter, beaches, and spectacular valleys and waterfalls. Our cabin is located in one of the most temperate places on earth. We have over 300 excellent days a year. All of our prior guests have raved about their stay, and have vowed to come back. The Big Island has something for everyone. Hawaii Tax no. Ge/Ta 178-510-6432-01

My husband and I had a wonderful, relaxing six day vacation in "Granma's Cabin." Our host, Harry, did a great job making us feel welcome and setting us up for an excellent stay: he met us when we arrived and toured us all around the cabin to show us how things worked and where things were kept. (This saved us a lot of time rifling through drawers later in the trip.) After that, though, we had the place totally to ourselves -- it felt very private!
The cabin has everything you'll need for a relaxing vacation, from a fully stocked kitchen (including some pantry staples) to spare snorkels and fins. Harry had recently roasted some macadamia nuts from the tree on his property, and showed us how to use the nut opener when we arrived -- an unexpected and delightful amenity! (He also gave us a couple of amazing avocados to get our trip off to a great start.) We loved being able to cook for ourselves and relax at our home-away-from-home when we weren't exploring the forests and beaches of the Big Island.
The location is excellent, convenient to the airport and not far from the main town of Kailua-Kona. The cabin is also just a few minutes down the road from the Matsuyama Food Mart, which has an affordable and tasty deli/restaurant in addition to stocking all the grocery essentials you might need.
We had a wonderful time and hope to return to Granma's Cabin the next time we are on the Big Island. Thanks for a great stay!
5.0
Harry is very accommodating delivering fresh avocados and papayas to your deck. The cabin has everything you need and more. Very spacious with a large wrap around deck. Convenient cooler location on the hill. Quick and easy to get to many sites.
Highly recommend for a peaceful time in paradise!

We had a delightful stay at the lovely Granny's Cabin! The place had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Mornings were especially wonderful, enjoying breakfast on the terrace with the serene sea as our backdrop and the cheerful songs of birds. Henry was exceptionally kind, taking the time to explain everything about the house. His generosity with the delicious avocados, papayas, and macadamia nuts was much appreciated. Thank you for such a memorable experience!

We LOVED our stay at the cabin. It was private, clean, quiet, peaceful, and had the most beautiful sunsets. It was close to the airport and a quick drive to amazing beaches and anything you might need. My kids spent hours watching geckos. We hope to be be back next year. The hosts are great!

We loved our stay in the cabin. So well stocked and maintained! The lanai was our favourite spot, visiting the geckos and watching the birds. Awesome!

We loved our time with Harry. My partner just loved the lanai and how welcoming the space is. They had everything you could need and more. Thank you Harry for hosting Frankie and me. Mahalo and we hope to see you again on our next trip over as we plan our new life on the BI!
5.0
This was a beautiful cabin with an amazing view! We had more than we expected available to us. Our hosts, Harry and Deb, we're very helpful upon check-in and responded to questions quickly. Otherwise they made themselves scarce and we enjoyed our stay very much. Extra things available like beach chairs, coolers, beach umbrella, made this day that much more comfortable. I hope to get back to Hawaii some day, and if I do I'll have my eye out for Grandma's Cabin!

Granma’s cabin was the perfect base for our family while we explored the Kona coast. The beautiful location up on the hill was cooler and quieter than in Kailua-Kona itself. The house was very well stocked and comfortable. Harry was very responsive and friendly. We highly recommend!
5.0
Stayed here with my *wife* on our honey moon. Place has everything you could imagine, and Harry was very responsive. He provided fresh mangos (best I’ve had) and macadamia nuts with a nut cracker! Also gave us great suggestions for places to see provided coupons for a local restaurant. Porch was a beautiful place to watch sunset.
Will definitely stay here again.

5.0
I loved staying here. The cabin is spacious and welcoming, set in the midst of the owner's fabulous blooming plants and on a hill overlooking the ocean below. A peaceful spot far enough from the touristy town of Kona, yet an easy drive to anywhere on the west side of the island. The kitchen is stocked with anything you might need, and Harry is promptly available if you have questions about anything. Very highly recommended.
5.0
Harry's place is exquisite to say the least. The cabin is very well appointed, everything you could possibly need to make your stay cozy. The lanai and the loungers are definitely hard to leave! The sounds of the birds in through the day and little geckos we're so enjoyable. I am already planning my next trip to stay here! Not to be missed!
5.0
This was our 5th stay at Granma's cabin. Harry and Deb welcomed us to our "home away from home" - it was wonderful to see them both again.
There are 4 ratings from our previous stays - all with equally glowing reviews. We appreciate all aspects of this lovely cabin - the location, the amenities (lanai, washer dryer, barbecue), and the hosts. The temperature is perfect both day and night and the bed is very comfortable.
Harry and Deb work hard maintaining their property. There is lovely foliage and flowers that attract butterflies and birds (finches, cardinals and doves). We love watching the birds at teh bird feeder while having breakfast on the lanai. It is very beautiful and relaxing. We will be returning in 2024.
5.0
My friend and I stayed here and very much enjoyed it. Harry made sure to have everything you need whether you're staying in or going out. Harry also replied quickly and kept in contact with us even though we booked it many months ahead of the time we needed.
I'd definitely stay here again if I'm lucky enough to explore Kona again.
5.0
My cousin and her significant other were the guests for the week as our plans changed. Harry was incredibly accommodating and helped us navigate this change. They had a wonderful time and relayed to us that it was peaceful, restful, and relaxing. A beautiful and comfortable cottage. Harry was the best host.
Thank you Harry, for making their stay so memorable. We all appreciate you!
5.0
This is a magical place, in part because of location/view/property amenities, and in part because of the host’s outstanding hospitality. This is the best VRBO experience we’ve ever had…and we’ve traveled a lot!

Harry was a congenial host, greeted us warmly and showed us this wonderful cottage. Beautiful view of the sunset from the porch every evening. Breezes blowing. Flowers and birds are lovely. Very comfortable. Kitchen well set up. Simply the best place to relax and enjoy the island.

We had everything we needed at our fingertips from beach gear to laundry soap. We used the kitchen daily and enjoyed eating on the large lanai either watching the ocean or the sunset. The cabin had a rustic feel. The beaches and Kona weren't too far way.
5.0
This lovely cabin was exceptionally well stocked with lots of extras like beach towels, yoga mats, mask, snorkel, aqua socks, beach mats, coolers, umbrellas, etc. Located in a quiet older neighborhood away from the tourist strip but with easy access to beaches, grocery stores and restaurants. Will plan to book this sweet spot again next time we come to Kona.

5.0
On top of the amazing views and comfortable rooms and value, what sets this cabin apart from other vacation rentals is how well thought out everything is. There is a place for everything and everything you could possibly need, and sensible touches everywhere. Also it was bigger and more beautiful than I was expecting, clearly well cared for. The wraparound lanai is our favorite —sit outside for hours birding, reading, watching the sun set or having dinner. Such a thoughtful host and place to stay.
5.0
Peaceful place
We stayed at Gramma’s cabin for 10 nights and every single one of them were peaceful, but of course, waking up to the sound of the birds in the mornings is priceless . We had a good time and hope to come back again sometime.
Thank you Harry for being a great host.

Super well equipped cabin
The cabin had everything, including boogie boards, and towels. There was even a cooler. The only reason that I gave him a four on communication, was because we Texted him about outgoing mail and never received a reply.
5.0
If I could rate this 12/10 I would. The cabin has the comfort and warm welcoming feel we were looking for. We enjoyed sitting on lanai watching the geckos and listening to the birds daily. Harry was also an absolutely wonderful host. He greeted us with some fresh fruit he had picked and roasted macadamia nuts. His communication was always very prompt and courteous. We needed a place to just slow down and enjoy life and the cabin hit the spot. Oh yes, and the bed was VERY comfortable. I can’t wait to come back and bring the kiddos. :)

The owner was there to greet us when we arrived, and provided us with some very tasty papaya and other fruit from his garden when it became ripe.
We enjoyed watching the many colorful birds that came to the bird feeder, and just relaxing on the lanai after exploring the beaches, etc. The house is located high enough up the hill to provide a good view of the ocean from a distance, and there was generally enough of a breeze to keep things from getting too hot.
It’s nicely located for those that want to explore North and South Kona.
We enjoyed our stay at Grandma’s cabin and will recommend this place to our friends.

Harry is the BEST host I've ever encountered in all my years of traveling with VRBO. He provides so many extras like snorkles, swim masks, fin, beach towels, beach chairs, umbrellas, washing machine soap and dryer sheets. All sorts of extras in the bathroom like sunscreen and sun burn cream. Board Games, lots of books to read, Hawaiian guide books. So much more than we expected. The house worked very well for my friend and I, comfy bed and day bed, washer /dryer, kitchen fully equipped. The property is very lush with beautiful plants and fruit and nut trees and flowers. Seems like you are in nature with bird sounds all around. Great view of the ocean down hill. I rate this place 5 🌟. We plan to come back and stay here again soon.
