Farmstay vacation rentals in Polynesia

We absolutely adored our stay at Lee's stunning cottage. It was a little slice of paradise, and every day we fell asleep and woke up to the sweet sound of birds singing around us. It was also the perfect home base to launch out from and explore various parts of the island. Lee was also extremely kind and shared some delicious greens from their farm with us. We're so grateful and are already scheming on when we can come back here!

The Bananarama Cottage is the coziest place we've stayed at so far. Rob and Bob welcomed us with a delicious loaf of bread and a piece of cake from their own bakery. They are incredibly kind and welcoming hosts. The cottage is beautifully furnished, and we didn’t miss a thing. After three months of traveling, this was the perfect place to slow down and recharge. The proximity to Volcanoes National Park is great, and the whole area offers plenty of opportunities for activities. We would come back anytime and can highly recommend it to everyone.

Sharon and Mark were so sweet! We got a little tour and lots of great conversation with them! It was cozy and a beautiful location.

Fantastic stay - best place to stay on the Big Island! What an amazing location, with a fantastic view! Private and relaxing, looking out onto coffee trees and the ocean. The place is everything that's promised and more. Great kitchen for cooking dinner if you don't feel like going out, an amazing outdoor shower, a GIANT TV for the times you want to just relax, and outdoor space that's private and tranquil. Everyone I communicated with was immediately responsive, and had suggestions for places to go (especially coffee farms), and responded very quickly. I can't recommend this place enough - we may be coming back again and staying here if it's available again! PS - the frogs: some people may love them, some may not like the noise. I didn't mind them at all at night, and had a white noise app in case they were very vocal (especially after the rain). Never did see one. Oh! And considering it's in the upcountry, no bugs/minimal wildlife, nothing to stress you out!

Roy and Joy were very nice with great suggestions and shared delicious coffee, fruit, and vegetables from the spacious property. House has high and expansive view of the coast and ocean from main bedroom with balcony and living and dinning rooms. Large kitchen with extensive cookware and beautiful views of tropical florals. Road is bumpy but doable with 2-wheel drive and some clearance. Terrific choice for west side of Big Island and we definitely would come again!

Tony was the most responsive host I’ve ever had. He went out of his way to make sure we felt right at home and gave us so many great recommendations. He allowed us to check out late since we had such a late flight off the island. If you’re looking for peace and quiet and gorgeous sunsets, this place is for you.

My wife and I had a wonderful 9 day honeymoon exploring the big island. Beautiful sunsets, spacious accommodations and friendly hosts awaited us whenever we returned from our adventures. Close proximity to local beach, shopping, and restaurants made things easy. Could not have worked out better for what we wanted. Thank you Deb and Bob for being so hospitable. We hope to visit again someday.

This place is amazing. The stuff my dreams are made of. This is a small Hawaiian cottage, with really beautiful decorations and the best lanai. We love Pats. This place will always be a special one for me and my family. My little kids were extremely happy here. Chickens and lizards, and turtles on the beach (give them their space please), sunrises and the ocean out your back door. Beautiful palm trees and flowers. The sound of the ocean behind your head as you sleep. And a wonderful and kind host. Mahalo

Charming, peaceful, and full of character, this farm stay in Kona was a perfect retreat. The setting was lush and serene, with cozy accommodations and a sweet resident cat who made the experience even more special. We loved the quiet, natural surroundings and appreciated the thoughtful touches from the host. A lovely spot to unwind and enjoy a more local, down-to-earth side of the Big Island.

It was our second stay at this property. It is a wonderful tropical private oasis. The hosts were very responsive, friendly, and offered local tips to explore this quiet part of Hawaii.

Seven of us stayed at this home nestled in the beautiful Makaha Valley. The home had everything we needed and more and all was of excellent quality. Cynthia provided laundry baskets in each bedroom which was an unexpected nice touch. Also, Pantene hair products and body wash in the bathrooms. On our arrival we were greeted by neighborhood chickens which we all enjoyed. The lanai outside had comfortable seating for our entire group and we used the gas grill several times. We woke to the sound of birds and frequently saw toads or large frogs. It felt like being in a nature preserve. The gated community felt very safe and was nice to walk around. It adjoins the Makaha Valley golf course which a couple of our group took advantage of multiple times. The beach is a short drive away. Our favorite spot was close to a restaurant with a great ambiance, the Beachouse at 608. Our stay at Cynthia’s place provided the relaxing environment that we all needed. We would stay here again

We are back to visit Starseed Ranch again and again! This time we stayed in the Ohana Suite with a private bathroom and kitchen. The room was very large and beautiful with sliding screened doors and windows with a private sitting area. If you want to get away from it all and stay in gorgeous surroundings this place is it! The area near the Pololu Valley Lookout is completely magical and Starseed Ranch has its' own magic within it. The hosts are wonderful and the grounds are gorgeous with outdoor eating and sitting areas that include an outdoor gourmet kitchen as well. The yoga room that sits near the creek is a wonderful space to practice or relax in while taking in the breeze, listening to the birds, and the water running along the creek. The stars at night are amazing. We will be back every year to stay at Starseed Ranch as there is no place as magical as this. Thank you Dash and Erika!

Fantastic stay. You get to hangout with all of the animals and walk the goats at sunset with the owner. They introduce you to all of the animals and you get to pet and hangout with them. The cottage itself is behind their home and it’s very clean and plenty of space for 2 people. Would definitely stay here again!

Amazing view and great vibes at this place. Neighborhood was very chill and there is great coffee and breakfast burritos less than 5 minutes away at Uncle Kimos. Would definitely stay here again when we come back to Hawaii.

This place was exactly like described on the listing. Really enjoyed our stay here wish we could have stayed longer. The neighbors were awesome The View was pretty cool. I normally don't give five star ratings to too many places but because it was exactly like described and it was clean and it was quiet in the house. It was worth the money and it's worth the five star rating.!

If you want peaceful, beautiful, far from the crazy crowds of Kailua accommodations, Glenn's charming Chameleon Suite is for you. He is an attentive and very informative host, whocan provide you with a wealth of knowledge about sites to see and dinning options. Everyplace that we eat at that he recommended were superb. He is a botanical wizard whose land is truly a garden of earthly delights. Be prepared to do some driving to reach some of the attractions and dining spots, but it is well worth it. We would love to return.

We had a wonderful time staying at Michael's and Terry's cottage. The setting was amazing, with a view of the ocean and having entire botanical gardens to ourselves. The cottage was in great condition and well-equipped. We really appreciated fresh eggs from their chickens and tomatoes from their garden that they left us. Having read that it was off the grid, I had concerns about electricity and hot water, but we had no issues with them. The internet worked very well too. There was an orange cat who was very friendly and stayed on the patio the entire time we were there. The only thing that was less than ideal was the mattress, which was too soft for me. Communicating with Terry and Michael and their guests who were house sitting for them was a pleasure! If you stay there, please follow their advise and get groceries ahead of time, since the place is really remote and almost all food stands nearby closed very early.

To each their own but for us this place was perfect. Reasons we preferred this place over a hotel: Secluded and and away from tourists. You can truly relax and unwind after the days activities in peace A very large place for just the two of us to enjoy. Nice kitchen for those that prefer to cook instead of just eating at restaurants Picked fresh limes and grapefruit to use in drinks and breakfast every morning Don't need to pack much because they have a nice washer and dryer Lots of wildlife including roosters, frogs, birds A large and lush property to explore, walk around and enjoy. Very relaxing and peaceful. The infinity hot tub takes some extra steps to warm up and take care of but being up at the top of hill overlooking coastline in a non chlorine hot tub was exquisite

We would definitely stay here again. The location provided easy access to the north shore, and enjoyable walks. The unit was clean, comfortable and the deck was a lovely place to savor mornings and evenings. Full kitchen, allowed for preparing meals, and I really loved that there was a water filter pitcher in the fridge (less plastic is always a good thing)! The grill was a plus! Mary Lou and Steve were very welcoming. Parking in the garage made unloading and packing up each day super easy. We appreciated having beach gear provided, such as chairs, towels and an umbrella. Our stay was peaceful and restorative.

Our stay here was perfect. Location was amazing right by the beach at a peaceful community, great for viewing sunrise/sunset. The place was just as pictured, very clean and had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

I had a much needed peaceful solo retreat to the big island and this place was exactly how I expected it to be! The birds were so happy and the frogs were very chatty at night. The amenities made my stay even better as I did a lot of hiking and was able to do laundry and take a hot shower and cozy up in bed after a long day. The kitchen had all of the basic utensils and dishes so I was easily able to make meals. The gas stove was great for heating up water for tea in the mornings to enjoy while sitting on the front porch. I unfortunately had to do some work during my stay but the internet speed was great and I was able to have video call without issues. I have already recommended this place to my friends and family! I cannot wait for the opportunity to bring my family here one day as I would certainly stay here again!

This was our first time in Kauai, staying in the Princeville area and we're so happy we did! Michelle was extremely responsive with all questions before and during our stay. Our goal of the trip was hiking and exploring so this made for a great base - I felt the Poipu area would have been too busy for what we wanted. The kitchen is fully stocked, and I recommend checking in to see what is available before buying any items (oil/seasonings etc). The guest before us had left some unopened individual bars of butter which was helpful. We made our breakfasts and some lunches if we were hiking, but usually ate out for dinner. I loved the option of doing laundry during a trip, it's a definitely a nice luxury, and Michelle's unit allowed this. The neighborhood is quite quiet, we were up at 5am daily with the time zone change and basically in bed by 9-930pm nightly lol. We would love to come back to this place!

The location is out of the city, but still accessible to all of the great places to visit. The view from the porch is hard to beat.

Place was exactly as described. Great service and very responsive hosts. If you are looking for a nice view with access to great beaches, this is a good option.
