We had an excellent stay at Granma’s Cabin. The location was perfect for us - tucked away in a nice, quiet neighborhood, but only 15-20 minutes to dining, shopping and great beach spots. The airport was less than 15 minutes away too.The cabin was clean and comfortable and was stocked with all the kitchen equipment needed to whip up a nice meal. There are even some basic supplies like oil, seasonings and butter.Harry and Deb are terrific hosts. We enjoyed meeting them and they are there to help out with anything you need or have questions about, but the cabin is very private.We would not hesitate to stay again.
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.
Great host great location all the amenities that one needs on a Hawaiian vacation.
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!
Birds paradise, surrounded by a beautiful foliage. Private, and relaxing. Great view, comfortable furniture and well appointed kitchen. Great location for a climate and the roads. We enjoyed our vacation.
This was our second time staying at the cabin. My family loves it. It's very quiet, private, and relaxing. The hosts are great and give you all the privacy you need. It' a very unique gem. The kitchen and washer/dryer are very convenient. higlrecommend
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.
Property close to every thing. Spacious , clean, well stocked. Beautiful sunsets. Owner was easy to contact . Had a great time.
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.
This is a wonderful place to stay! Our host, Harry provided more than everything we needed and made us feel at home. Great location, great amenities, and a very comfortable space. Would highly recommend!
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.
We enjoy the setting and privacy at the cabin.
Saw the Hawaiian raptor Oi twice.
The cabin had everything we needed and more. Harry met us upon arrival and showed us rhe ropes. We love having beach supplies at out fingertips. The dech is great for morning coffee and sunrise. A big supply of macadamia nuts was provided along with a cracker.
If you are looking for a glamorous, glitzy, touristy spot...this isnt it! If you are looking for a place to stay that exudes Hawai'i..this is it!
Harry and Deb, the owners were are the consument hosts of " Granma's Cabin". Located up the hill from Kona, surrounded by lush flowers, tall trees and foliage, Peaceful and beautiful.
The cabin is equipped with everything you might need to enjoy Kona.
Ok, it doesn't have A/C, but honestly we didn't need it except for a couple of afternoons in the week we were there.
Give it a try.
Loved Granma's Cabin! Probably the best value in Kona! Beautiful location with view of ocean and surrounded with vegetation. Temperatures were very comfortable especially at night since it is a little higher elevation. This cabin has everything you need. The owner Harry is very hospitable and even had a huge container of macadamia nuts from his tree for us to eat! They were so good! Will definitely stay here again if we ever come back!
Convenient, clean, comfortable, unique, spacious, with beautiful views from the porch! Lots of extras, well equipped kitchen. Harry, in the house next door, was a friendly and generous host while still giving us space and privacy. Fresh picked mangoes were the best we’ve ever eaten!
Property with stunning views. Harry struck a good balance of being on the property and available to help as well as giving us our privacy.
We absolutely loved coming back to the property at the end of each day and watching the sunset. The temperatures were lovely at the elevation. Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Harry helped us adjust our stay due to last minute vacation changes, he was great! Generous host who is clearly an honest man who cares about his guests. Thanks Harry.
If we find our way back to your island we will most certainly be reaching out to you.
My sister and I stayed for nearly one week; all amenities were fantastic and the location was perfect for activities in and around Kailua-Kona and the Kohala Coastline. The Ohana was neat and clean and had everything one would need during a trip to the Big Island. Enjoy the taste of older Hawaii at its finest. Mahalo, Harry!
I have rent 3 different vacation cabins in Hawaii, one in Oahu, one in Maui and this one in Big Island. All of them are 5 stars, but Granma's Cabin is the best among them. Harry is very nice and helpful, and it felt like we were really at home. I'll definitely stay here again when I visit Big Island in the future.

Excellent cozy cabin to retreat to after a long day on the beach. Super hosts!
This cabin is located in a very nice neighborhood. Plenty of space inside, great ocean view from the deck. Lots of beach items available for guests.
Harry, the owner, is very responsive. The tour he gave at the beginning of our stay was very helpful.
We would gladly stay here again.
What a fantastic place and great host! We needed a low-key place for a girls' long weekend to rest and recharge. Harry, our host, was in communication before our arrival and even let us know the property was ready early! When we arrived, he was there to greet us. He showed us around the property and shared all the details and resources. It felt like we were at home, literally. Being in a quiet neighborhood was so essential for us to. Everything was so clean. We enjoyed the deck as this was a time to relax and unwind. So many at-home conveniences too! We will be back.
I think this our 6th stay with Harry'n'Deb at Granma's cabin. The cottage was perfect for us in all aspects from the lanai, bed comfort, linens, cooking utensils/supplies, to temperatures (daytime and night). The upgraded wifi allowed for even better coverage in all parts of the cabin. Although I did not use them, the closet was filled with beach chairs, beach towels, snorkels, fins, water socks, sand toys, umbrellas and boogey boards.
The property provided lots of privacy. We appreciated all the beautiful foliage and flowers which attracted gorgeious finches, doves and cardinals. There were occasional visits Kalij pheasants and an egret. The geckos were very numerous and entertaining.
We definitely benefited from the location giving us easy access to highways leading all over the island, and roads accessing Costco and downtown Kona.
We hiked the Makaula O'oma trail and visited two historic sites (both worth visiting) - Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic site and Pu'uhonau o Hanaunau, Historical Park.
Harry and Deb are wonderful hosts and make Granma's cabin a home away from home for us - Thank you Harry and Deb! See you next year!
