You Can Sleep and Sample Coffee at This Farm Stay Airbnb in Hawaii

When I say, "Hawaii," you likely picture long sandy beaches lapped by impossibly blue water and lined with palm trees swaying in the Pacific tradewinds. If you also happen to be a coffee lover, your taste buds may tingle at the thought of the rich, complex depth of a fresh-brewed cup of locally roasted Kona. Should you fall into this second category, there's a farm stay just south of Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii that you should know about—the coffee, palm trees, breezes, and views are included, and the beaches are only a few minutes away.

You'll find this beautiful rental home in the Holualoa Coffee Belt, just minutes from both Captain Cook and downtown Kailua-Kona. This spacious property can accommodate up to nine guests across its three bedrooms and two baths. One of the rooms sleeps four in two sets of bunkbeds, perfect for kids, if you're traveling with the family.

This gorgeous rental home comes with all the modern amenities you'd expect, including smart TVs, wi-fi, blackout curtains, a fireplace, air conditioning, a Jacuzzi tub, and even a gaming console stocked with video games—a favorite amenity for kids of all ages. The updated, gourmet kitchen includes a five-burner gas stove, a rice cooker, and plenty of utensils and spices that you're free to use in your own meal preparation. Make your meals even fresher with fruits and avocados picked right from the farm's trees—you're even welcome to collect eggs from the chickens.

Even with all these amenities, it's the outdoor spaces where this property really shines. The home sits at 1,700 feet of elevation on a 3.5-acre coffee and macadamia nut farm. You'll enjoy sweeping ocean views on the massive lanai, which is really the focal point of this home's indoor-outdoor vibe. A telescope helps to bring the stunning night sky even closer than it already feels on these remote islands. The property's zen garden, with its hammock and vintage Japanese fire pit, is a perfect place to relax any time of day. If you bring

But what about the coffee, you ask? You will not be disappointed. The home comes with complimentary Kona coffee samples, as well as several ways for you to brew it: from a drip maker or an espesso machine to a French press.

Your morning cup, however, is just the tip of the iceberg, the finished product, the end result—but there's more. One of the coolest things about staying at this Airbnb is the complimentary farm tour. You'll get to go behind the scenes to learn how the farm grows, hand-harvests, and roasts its coffee—from berry to bag to brew. Several other coffee growers surround the farm, so you could extend your coffee tour with visits to the neighbors.

Speaking of branching out, as tempting as it may be to stay put on the farm, you must get out and explore this stunning part of the Big Island. Charming Holualoa town is a wonderful place to spend the morning, then wander down to Kahalu'u Beach for some top-notch snorkeling or La'aloa Beach Park to simply soak up the sun on the sand. One place that you must visit is the mesmerizing Pu’uhonua O Honaunau National Historical Park, more familiarly known as the "Place of Refuge"—it's one of my favorite parks on the Big Island. Then, after a day of adventuring, head back to your beautiful Airbnb, ease into the hot tub, and enjoy the endless Hawaiian stars above you.

There may not be a better place to set up a Big Island base camp than this charming Kona coffee farm stay.
