Dee’s Farm House is a great place to enjoy your time in Hawai’i away from the crowds and congestion of the more touristy areas between Kailua-Kona and Captain Cook. The accommodation was about what we expected-- a small unique, and basic house in the midst of semi-rural countryside on the southwest side of the island of Hawai’i. Nearby are small farms growing coffee, macadamia nuts, avocados and oranges. We enjoyed the easy access to fresh fruits and vegetables, as there are small stands all around the area. We really enjoyed the lanai (screen porch) with views ranging from the beautiful tropical gardens in the yard to a 120-degree view of the ocean a couple of miles away. The nearby “tree-house” is an extra bedroom connected to the main house along its deck. The house itself is abit quirky, sits up on stilts, and as expected, is completely off-the-grid. For modern city folks that could mean basic, slower, internet (not super-fast), partial cellphone coverage (one-bar), and the need to conserve electricity if there has been a cloudy stretch of weather; or conserve wash and shower water if it has not been raining much. (They provide drinking water via a 5-gallon dispenser in the house.) If you’re up for staying in a unique home in a semi-rural area and/or have lived off-the-grid before, you’ll probably fit right in. The home is located near the “end of the road” Miloli’i fishing village, and we could hear the surf pounding the rocks along the shore. The roosters start the day by crowing around 5 am, so if you are a light sleeper, you may get an earlier than usual start to your days. Dee provided us with great travel advice, including how to access a nearby beach that is a hidden gem. The renter should know that this home is a 40-minute drive from most Captain Cook tourist activities, and an hour’s drive to the Kona area, but it's also an hour closer to Volcano National Park than those main tourist areas.
