As a full-time host and tour guide, I take pride is giving people the best experiences possible while on island! Our properties are cozy and provide everything you will need being your home away from home while on vacation! Learn more about this land: The ultimate local experience while providing comforts to make your stay enjoyable. Live in traditional Hawaiian style homes! For guests unfamiliar with the Big Island, it is not like the other islands people travel to. If Oahu is more Americanized, the Big Island is still more of a Polynesian Island. Our property allows guests to enjoy a genuine local experience. The cabins have power and endless hot water. All water on property is rainwater harvested from our roof! At night your ears will be greeted by the forest with sounds of coqui frogs. Many people love them 🐸 Please search for Bathing Suits and Rain Boots on YouTube to find a video of what our property sounds like at night. Our channel also features videos of tours we offer. More to be uploaded, check back often! Our tours include off the beaten path adventures ranging from sunrises and geothermal Kings baths, to prawn hunting to hikes that lead to waterfalls! They are all local gems that you will not find online or offered by any other tour guide agency. We are updating our ig @bathingsuitsandrainboots regularly with footage from adventures as well! Beach gear such as surf boards, boogie boards and snorkel gear is also available. There is a detailed welcome packet with a variety of mostly free but some paid must see/do activities on the island! There are a total of 4 cabins on the one acre lot. The owners are on property, other guests may or may not be here as well. There is a dog Valentine, two outdoor cats named Ghost and Tomi, and chickens/ducks. Each cabin has a queen mattress. We rent both cabins out for larger groups. Jungle massages are available on site starting at $100 for the hour. Please note the main image capturing a lava cliff sunrise is not visible from the cabin. It is about a 30-40 minute drive from us 🌊 ☀️ 🌋 We are at 1880ft elevation so it can get chilly at night. Winters are also rainy season so if traveling to the Big Island in the winter, I suggest some light layers for warmth, a raincoat and rain boots.

Lush tropical cabin

Dawn was a great host. She thought of everything you could want or need. We loved the vibe and the remote location. Coqui frogs are loud - we love them but others may not so just know ahead of time they are there. The cats are super friendly and keep you company on the lanai. We would definitely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our time at a green cabin. Property is organized with love, every detail is magical, string lights along the path, cute cabin decor, jungle shower, big comfy bed and lovely cats and dogs who came for a visit to our cabin terrace (don’t worry they do bark but they are sweet). There’s warm water in shower, it’s also private to your cabin! There was separate kitchen building but we didn’t cook. Would love to spend more time there and will definitely come back <3 thank you!

Mermaid Lair with Rainforest Shower

Awesome stay. Great base for getting into Volcanoes National Park. I slept like a baby every night and would often make it to the park by sunrise. I loved having the cats and dogs around. The dogs will bark when you arrive but settle down fast, so don’t let that put you off. They are all friendly especially the puppy named Pocket. Dawn was a gracious host, mahalo!

Dense Rainforest Getaway

The cabin at Dawn's property was simple and perfect for us. We loved having an outdoor shower surrounded by such dense foliage that a shower curtain wasn't needed at all. Dawn was easy to work and communicate with. The shared kitchen is huge and well-equipped; we met some Austrian travelers there. The property is far from the nearest streetlight or business, and feels very secluded. It is among other houses, but the greenery is too dense to see them. All in all a great value and a lovely getaway!

Mermaid Lair with Rainforest Shower

It was a brief, but great stay! We were taking a weekend trip from Oahu, so we just spent one night. By the time we arrived, it was pitch black but we had no problem finding the property or getting back to the cabin due to the very thorough instructions. We were greeted by the sound of very talkative coqui frogs (seriously, it sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but SO cool) and a very friendly kitty that followed us to the cabin and sat with me on the porch for a long time. The room was comfortable and had all the basic things needed. My only complaint is due to all the solar lights outside not working, it was pitch black while trying to use the outdoor bathroom/shower. We needed to utilize our phones lights or the small lights provided to walk around. I was nervous but really enjoyed the “open air” showering facing the woods, but it was a really cool experience. Would definitely stay again if I find myself on the island! Very loud at night between the frogs and rain on the tin roof, so if you don’t mind that you’ll have a great stay (and if you don’t, dawn provides ear plugs in the room! All in all, beautiful location and awesome stay😊
