Property Description
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.

This house was spacious and just perfect for us. It's located up the hill from the airport, so it is a very convenient location. It sits about the same distance from the northwest and southwest beaches and is about 20 minutes from Kailua-Kona. It's also a little cooler location than down on the coast. The beds were very comfortable and the full bath had everything we needed. There was plenty of beach going equipment, so there was no need to purchase ot rent anything. Granma's Cabin has a full and well appointed kitchen, providing everything we needed to BBQ and prepare any meal. The wrap-around porch was a huge bonus for enjoying early morning coffee and watching the sunset.Out host, Harry was very helpful and super accommodating.

Harry provided us with the perfect base for our first time in Hawaii. From helpful local information, everything you would need for a beach day without having to bring it 5000 miles, to the best sunsets we have seen in a long time, it made our stay on the Big Island the best it could be. Thank you again to Harry for our little piece of paradise.

Harry has a great place and kept us well informed. Check in process was easy, the cabin is close to town and the airport. Plenty of great beaches nearby, there were plenty of amenities. He let us borrow some beach equipment from the cabin for our day travels. Overall excellent and worth it!

Great location, helpful and kind hosts, very cozy and has everything you need to enjoy a fabulous stay on the Big Island! The cabin is even better in person than photos show. An added bonus is the roasted macademia nuts provided by Harry & Deb! Would definitley stay here again if we are able to return to this area.

We have stayed at Granma's cabin at least 6 times. Our return is due to the wonderful private home, the perfect location, and the lovely hosts, Harry'n Deb. Each year, it has been like coming home - and each year Harry has carried out upgrades to make the place more comfortable and efficient. We love the privacy of the cabin and lanai. The living room is welcoming and the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and barbecue are perfect. The bed is very very comfortable. We love the foliage as well as the flowers and their fragrances - very attractive for butterflies. There are doves, java and saphron finches, cardinals, Kalij pheasants, and Erckel's spurfowl on the property.15 minutes will get you downtown for shopping and beach access. 5 minutes up the hill allow you access to a major highway running north south and 10 minutes down hill will bring you to a major highway, also running north south and to the water. We could not ask for a better place to spend some time away from winter and a schedule.

Property was as advertised and a very pleasant place to stay, tucked away in a quiet residential neighborhood. The stand-alone residence was a nice alternative to a condo complex.A hillside view of sunsets over the ocean were spectacular and it was only a 10-minute drive to a beach location to sit on the sand, if preferred. Easy access to Costco for food and gas and to the airport. Host and hostess were very helpful and congenial.

Everything about this stay was great. From communication with Harry to directions to get places, from every amenity you might want to comfort and cleanliness. We loved staying in this neighborhood with quiet nights to refreshing temperatures and breezes. We are just figuring out when we can come back tomorrow stay longer. Thank you Harry and Deb.

From all the reviews I read, I can't argue with any of them. Harry was a great host - there when you needed him but otherwise total privacy. We prepared almost all our meals on site when not out running around. The kitchen had all the tools we needed plus lots of herbs and spices. You can't beat the ambiance of eating on the wrap around deck with broad views of the lower island. Best place we stayed in our decades of vaca.

We had a fantastic stay at this house on the Big Island! The location is peaceful and serene, nestled in a quiet area surrounded by lush trees, vibrant flowers, and a stunning ocean view. It was such a treat to wake up to the beautiful scenery every morning—it truly felt like a private retreat in nature.
The house itself was clean, well-maintained, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was welcoming and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed during our visit. We also appreciated their quick responses and helpful recommendations for the area.
This is a perfect spot for anyone looking to relax and unwind while enjoying the natural beauty of the island. We would definitely stay here again! 🌺🌴
I would recomend Hapuna Beach, Kaunaʻoa (Mauna Kea) Beach and Spencer Beach Park for the little one. The Mahai'ula beach is very good, but you would need 4WD.
