Country glamping with Hawaiian hospitality

We had a wonderful stay in our Yurt on the hill. It's way up the hill off the highway but quite serene and spectacular views and lush landscaping make the paradise worth the travel. Who knew the southern west most part of the USA had the best malasada bakery, one of 3 green sand beaches in the world and great restaurants in town?!? Kai and Lisa were great hosts and everything was easy and well appointment. Kai helped check in and texted tips when we forgot his suggestions lol. Amazing time! Fun experience all around.

Ocean View Retreat

Great location for an off-the-grid R&R vacation (with TV, Internet, etc.). Simple amenities in close-by town were good and Kai Lokis was tremendous - food and atmosphere. Wonderful sunsets, sunrises and night sky viewing of stars.

A gem of a place

Our stay at the yurt was the best experience we could have hoped for. Lisa and Kai are wonderful hosts, very helpful, responsive and accommodating. The place had breathtaking views at sunrise, and in the night you can see the moon and stars from inside the yurt. Just about everything is provided if you plan on cooking/grilling. I'd 10/10 stay here again or recommend to a friend!

It was a nice quiet place to stay while I was getting a few things done at my house. The parking was right next to the yurt. The bathroom and sink are in another building. There was a microwave and fridge. The coffee was good. It was windy and the outer window coverings were really loud, so bring earplugs just in case. It was nice to see the stars while laying in bed. I would stay again.

1st time at a yurt. The room was nice. The place was in a more secluded area, but not far from highway access. Being far out, there wasn't a sewer system in place, so the toilet system took us off guard. Overall, nice place and staff was great to work with.

Very nice

Very quiet location the host was very flexible and responsive. There is no kitchen but bbq has a burner on the side. And the yurt came with all the pots and pans you would need. The yurt it self if very spacious the sky light offers great star gazing from your bed and nice natural light in the day. It is not to far of a drive from amazing attraction like black sand beach and volcano national park. I especially loved the dogs and the cats roaming the property. Wonderful glamping 10/10

Love This Place

We love the yurt. It has all the amenities, very comfortable and great location. Actually, for us it’s the best location possible for touring the island. The managers were very helpful and made our stay a wonderful experience. We love the Big Island and our stay at the Yurt here in Oceanside.

We very much enjoyed our stay. We were especially grateful the host was willing to stay up and let us in when we arrived very late in the evening. It's a very comfortable place, especially if you want to experience some glamping.

A perfect yurt for a perfect stay

My stay was incredibly cozy, it was almost impossible to get out to visit the island ;) Check-in was quick, but personnalized, with great tips on the must-sees of the area. Host is super responsive on the app, which is great for people without US phone service 🙋‍♀️ Highly recommend!

Glamping base for exploring the big island.

Our first experience with a YERT! Comfortable upscale camping style accommodations. A great location for exploring the south and south west regions of the big island. Our host Lisa met us when we arrived and walked us through the unit making sure everything was ready for us. All in all a great stay and a wonderful experience.

Glamping Adventure!

We enjoyed our experience staying in the yurt! We had wanted to do this for a while, and when the opportunity presented itself, we jumped! The yurt was a great size for two people. It had a refrigerator and a microwave, and also a grill outside. There is electricity, but a different system of plumbing. There is water for showering, washing hands, and washing dishes, but there are two toilets, one for pee and an incinerator one for poo (I found this fascinating!). The neighborhood is on the slope of the mountain, so it does get a little chilly at night... it was in the low 50s both nights we were there, so bring appropriate clothing. There is a little heater available, too.

Unique adventure away from the crowds

We were looking for a different Big Island experience (not a resort) and we got it here! Quiet, peaceful, and beautiful. The neighborhood is a drive from the beaches with some riff raff intermingled amongst the neighbors, but overall well worth the price! Owners Lisa and Kai were very helpful and available for all our questions and needs.
