About this property

Granma's Cabin Kona coast

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.

Beautiful property on the Big Island
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.

Home away from home
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.

A wonderful winter getaway.
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.

A must stay on the big island
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.

Fantastic stay
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.

Harry and Deb are the best !!!
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.

Best stay in Kona!
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!

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!

Best Vacation Cabin Ever
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.

A much needed time for relaxation and Granma's cabin was perfect.
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.
