Yurt stay
Beautiful view from our yurt, but it was not clear in the listing that the yurt had no running water or bathroom IN the yurt. We had a separate private bathroom a short distance from the yurt with 2 toilets, one being an incinerator type (A little complicated, but doable), a shower, and a sink. All dishes had to be taken from the yurt to the bathroom sink to wash them. There was bottled water in the yurt for drinking. Good refrigerator. The yurt is about 10 minutes up the hill from the main highway. You might need to request a fan when arriving. We couldn’t find one that was promised.

During our short stay we were able to visit Volcanoes National Park, the Green Sand Beach close to South Point, go night snorkeling with Manta Rays in Kona, visit several beaches, and even drive up Mauna Kea on our last day in Big Island (night flight) - we could not have achieved this and more without staying in such a perfectly placed location, one with unique landscape on its doorstep (the local history of lava flows was truly fascinating). Lisa was a wonderful host who ensured we knew how to use the facilities, and I would definitely check in with her before your arrival to see what supplies are in your specific yurt (previous guests may have left gently used items or extra things behind - we left sunscreen and water bottles, for example).

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.

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.

It was our first time staying in a yurt. Slept well, Did hear some of the neighborhood dogs through the night. Centrally located to cover south end-of-the-island sites and attractions. Initially, a strong air freshener scent set off my wife’s allergies. We were able to take care of most of that issue shortly. Overall pleased with the value of our stay there.

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.

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!

1st time in a yurt for me
Rented the yurt to be close to the Volcano. Never had stayed in one before. It was great! Everything you need! Clean, comfortable, bed is comfortable, stars at night are beautiful!! Host was great! Good food and groceries right down the road if you dont want to cook. If Pele fires back up I will be back to stay!!

Nice quiet place for the money
The yurt was very clean, bed was comfy, many things were provided, and it was in a quiet neighborhood. But there were some issues with check in and communication with the owner, and there is no ocean view. Maybe from one of the other yurts, but I’m not sure where those pictures are taken. Our unit had no functioning windows, and neither the porch nor surrounding area had a view of the ocean.

South Point View and Seclusion
This is a lovely yurt up high on the southwestern flank of Mauna Loa. Deep in the Ocean View subdivision, surrounded by rugged lava landscape, with a view of the ocean, it is a short drive to a few grocery stores, gas stations, and restaurants, but it is not really near any town. The property is well-maintained, and there are chickens and at least one cat who roam around the property. The unit includes a barbecue for grilling, and ample parking. The owners/managers are very helpful and will coach guests on how to use the environmentally friendly toilet situation. The TV works and has access to many streaming platforms, and there are a few board games for rainy evenings. The site is close to South Point, that great little bakery in Na'alehu, and several black sand beaches, which may have turtles. The weather cools off at night because of the elevation and wind, but there are more than enough blankets to stay comfortable. It was a fantastic place to stay at an affordable price, and I would recommend to others wholeheartedly.

First time in a yurt
It was lovely and spacious! It was a peaceful setting and quiet at night. The local pub and coffee shop have yummy food! The special toilet wasn’t an issue: smells like candles. ☺️ We caught a bit of the rainy season so unfortunately didn’t get to see the sunset from the porch but the night sky was AMAZING!!! Would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone as it’s good value!
