Tiny House Living on Big Island, Hawaii
Looking for the Hawaii most people never see?
These five rentals are located on a quiet, one-acre developing organic farm in Mark Twain Estates—just outside Naalehu, one of the 10 Most Welcoming Towns in Hawaii’s Countryside. This isn’t the Hawaii of luxury resorts and high-rise hotels. It’s rural, slow, and deeply local.
Naalehu is the southernmost town in the U.S., surrounded by volcanic cliffs, black- and green-sand beaches, and warm Pacific winds. It’s a place where sea turtles outnumber tourists, and the most reliable soundtrack is birdsong, wind through banana trees, and the occasional rooster. From this base, you can hike to Papakōlea Green Sand Beach, grab baked goods at the Punaluʻu Bake Shop, or watch the sun set over the ocean at South Point.
The rentals vary in size and setup, but all are designed for people who value peace, privacy, and a simpler pace of life. Think: artists, writers, remote workers, long-term travelers, and anyone in search of grounding. Each unit is self-contained, with basic amenities and a strong connection to the land. The owners live on-site and run a small plant-based food business at local farmers markets using produce grown right here.
If you're ready to step away from noise, speed, and spectacle, these homes offer space to breathe.
Located in Mark Twain Estates near Naalehu, South Point on the Big Island of Hawaii, this cozy studio is one of several self-contained units on the property (most already rented).
