Coffee plants, bananas, loquats, pineapples, liliquoi, 5 kinds of citrus, ground cherries, dragon fruit, and more... (fruit is not available year round so please dont be upset if things are not ripe) Usually we pick whats ripe and place it in the house for guests. Also note that there are many Jackson Chameleons running around if you can spot them. Please be careful if you pick them up and place them right back where you found them. Normally there are 4 to 5 running around. Things near by: 1)Punalu u beach- 39 minute drive south east- Black sand beach, turtle spotting and okay snorkeling 2)Papakōlea Green Sand Beach, Naalehu, HI 96772 36 minute drive, south and you pass by south point for the adventurous cliff jumpers... I ve not seen a more beautiful area to cliff jump! 3)Ho‘okena Beach Park, 86-4322 Mamalahoa Hwy, Captain Cook, HI 96704- 57 minute drive West to a Grey sand beach and camping area, great for turtles and dolphin spotting 4)Two Step, Captain Cook, HI 96704 46 minute drive, west, for great snorkeling spot, beautiful coral, fish and sometimes dolphins 5) Captain Cook, Hawaii 53 minutes north west, to coffee, kayaking, snorkeling spots, shopping, restaurants and more 6)Ali i Dr, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740, 1 hour 14 minutes to Alii drive for everything from beaches, shopping, snorkeling, diving, golf resorts, restaurants, luaus, and more 7) North of all that is the airport, fancy resorts beaches and marinas for boat charters for fishing, whale watching, diving... Highly recommend snorkeling or diving with the Manta-rays! You will never forget it. 8)Farmers markets- some are 20 minutes from the house and some are an hour and a bunch in-between... always worth checking out! 9)I'd like to point out there are a ton of other things to do but some should be discovered on their own! In-fact we have come up with a new extensive list of things to do and research on the island.... Ask me to email it to you! \*\*\*Weather- due to the elevation of this house at 3200 feet its a little cooler in the mornings ( sleep better at night) and is usually above 70 degrees by 9am. Also it can be cloudy/rainy at the house and sunny and hot by the ocean or vice versa! so be prepared for anything. In fact the weather can change 4 times in a day and you can sit outside and watch a cloud float by! its sunny, drizzly, rainy all at once sometimes its like living in the clouds. \*\*\* use caution when walking around the property since you are on an old lava flow and active volcano. small lava tubes are regularly being found, its one of the things we like about the big island! plus there are occasional grumbles/quakes. If you have concerns you can sign up for text messages from the Hawaiian civil defense... its a great and fairly accurate way to be informed. I signed up last during last Mays eruption and always get notices of road closures, quakes anywhere around the pacific rim, tsunamis and general alerts. ## Property amenities ### Parking and transport - Car required - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Electric kettle - Hob - Oven - Refrigerator - Spices ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - DVD player - Games - TV - Video library ### Outdoor areas - Patio ### Laundry - Laundromat nearby ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near the marina - Near the ocean ### Things to do - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Horseback riding nearby - Hunting nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Parasailing nearby - Sailing nearby - Scuba diving nearby - Snorkelling nearby - Spelunking nearby - Surfing/bodyboarding nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Whale watching nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby - Winery tours nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 808 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/40000000/39620000/39613600/39613518/bd878b68.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hawaii Yurt luxury for less Ocean View - Sea view - Kitchen - Parking available - Barbecue grill 9.6 Exceptional 64 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=39613518&PinnedHotelID=39613518&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/95000000/94780000/94776500/94776437/w1024h569x0y58-05d83293.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mongoose Manor- Modern guesthouse / amazing views Captain Cook 9.6 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-12&endDate=2025-10-13&selected=94776437&PinnedHotelID=94776437&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Smart TV](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100340000/100339400/100339346/46999d61.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Big Island Yurt Adventures Captain Cook - Parking available - Kitchen - Microwave - Toys/games 9.6 Exceptional 10 reviews £146 includes taxes & fees 29 Sept - 30 Sept [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-09-29&endDate=2025-09-30&selected=100339346&PinnedHotelID=100339346&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/96000000/95390000/95389400/95389337/43bc23ae.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### A little piece of paradise in Ocean View with a view guesthouse!

Stayed 26 nights in Nov 2021 ### 2/10 Terrible #### BuyerBeware 24 Jan 2020 Disliked: Staff & service I was given the incorrect access information and was unable to get into the house, slept in my car. Owner refused to refund my money and the owner and her boyfriend were rude and abusive. Property itself is ok, in a subdivision, no internet, the 100 fruit trees are some dwarf shrubs. Nothing special, but ok probably if you get correct information. ##### BuyerBeware Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Jennifer P. 26 Jan 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Cozy & Quirky ! Love it ! The Orchid House was perfect and suited our needs. We were the first guests since the COVID-19 shut down, so the house was a bit dusty etc but I can use a broom and didn't mind tiding up a bit while keeping in mind it is an off grid house. We're building a tiny home in the area and needed a place to stay & maximize worktime at our property. Having a cozy place to stay, enjoy a home-cooked meal and get the best nights rest ever was wonderful! Awaking to the birds singing is a peaceful way to start the day. Thank you Jeanette, for walking us through lighting the water heater and understanding how the solar batteries work !! We really appreciated your quick and clear communication !! Looking forward to our next visit, thanks again. ##### Jennifer P.

Michael, the host checked in and was prompt on returning texts or phone calls. Its a bit cool in the evenings so bring a long sleeve shirt or two and/or sweatshirt. If you hang laundry to dry, i recommend bringing it inside if it clouds up ir it won't get dry. Very private. Hot showers. Lots of different kinds of birds. Geckos and Jackson Chameleons. Two markets, convenience store, and laundromat just down at the highway. Best drinking water is at transfer station just before Na'alehu. Great place to start and end your day as there are many nearby places to explore. Highly recommend checking in during daylight hours so you are able to see the numbers on the locks! I would recommend this rental if you just want a nice private place to stay and are expecting more of a "glamping" experience. ##### Danna P.

We did keep ice in it all week which was suggested, to help keep things cold, however upon leaving, cleaning 1.5-2 inches of water out of the bottom was no fun! I guess I should have put the bags of ice in bowls or something so I didn't have such a mess! The outside shower and bathroom was cool, however, it's quite chilly When you turn the water off after the shower. Temps in the morning were 61-65 degrees, quite chilly when your wet! I'm sure staying in the summer months would be great! Being in an off the grid home was a real eye-opener for me, no use of a blow dryer, microwave, coffee pot...I bought an inverter for my car so I was able to at least use a hot iron brush to get my hair somewhat decent... Most of the week I wore hats! With that being said, we found we could live without some of things we definitely take for granted... the thing we missed the most was the Wi-Fi... we have Sprint and service was next to none!!!!!!!!!! I get the point is to be off grid get away from all the internet, work emails etc. . But for us it is not possible... Like I said It was real eye-opener for us and how much we depend on WiFi. with no WiFi we wouldn't stay here again, IF there IS ever WiFi , we would definitely stay here without a doubt!!!!! Over all we had a great time! ##### Sheila S.

There was so many unique decorations. We would call this a cabin in Northern Ca. The shower and bathroom out side is awesome. This is the perfect place to read, rest or write the great American novel. The price is fabulous and the comfort of the cabin is surprising for the price. There is a ton of birds that sing every morning. The place is secluded so we ran around in almost nothing. It can get a little chilly at night but there are tons of blankets. Wonderful stars at night if the sky is clear. Sprint is terrible so we did not have much cell coverage. That turned out to be a blessing! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Astrid H. 3 Sept 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Very lovely place with lots of peace and spirit We had wonderful 14 days in total silence and full comfort.

Stayed 13 nights in Aug 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Douglas C. 29 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A unique mountain cabin The cabin is filled with treasures from around the world. Its unusual w orkmanship is intriguing to me, such as doors that open with latches and string thru the walls and open windows. There is a light that looks like it came from an old big ship and a table that looks like it needed a ton of money and men to get here. This place is a treasure chest of ideas and living useful antiques and we thank the owners for letting us be here. The only drawback are the live in critters in the food area and the nasties around the shower that bite. The mosquito punks helped that. We would love to stay again.

Stayed 3 nights in May 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Catherine G. 21 May 2019 #### Birds abound It was a great place to explore black sand beach and green sand beach, as it's "close" to them. We also recommend the Coffee Shack, it was about midway from OceanView to Kona, so a great first stop of the day. The cabin itself had a cozy bedroom, and a gorgeous kitchen table. We enjoyed having our breakfast on the large patio (as well as a quick yoga session), and listening to all the birds. The outdoor bathroom/shower was a little chilly while we were there: make sure you have warm pajamas if you are like me, and need to step out to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. In general: do bring sweaters &pants to best enjoy the cabin. All in all, great place! ##### Catherine G. Stayed 4 nights in May 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### karen d., glen cove 9 Apr 2019 #### Tranquil and beautiful My husband and I loved the orchard house. The owner did a fabulous job on making this bungalow tranquil, peaceful and comfortable. We loved having breakfast out on the back deck overlooking the gardens. It is situated up high and surrounded by plants. Lots of privacy and beauty. It is also close to green sands beach and not too far from volcanoe national park. ##### karen d.
