About Dug's RV rentals

After building my first camper van (Kozy Koa) and living in that while traveling around the island for about 8 months I decided I loved the freedom of living the van life, but I needed to be able to stand up in my van. So I bought a Mercedes Sprinter van that I now live in full time and started renting out Kozy Koa. I loved hearing the stories from my renters about how they loved the van and how much of the island they were able to see. I decided to build another van and we now have added Lil Honu which was designed as a rental so it has some really nice upgrades. I am currently building another van which should be available by November. At least that's the goal. It will have all of the upgrades that Lil Honu has and then some. She's called Da Dolphin.

Dug and his van were a great match for us. The van allowed us to explore the island as we wanted, and we enjoyed always having a home base ready in the evenings. Dug was super helpful and communicative, and he provided us with a list of potential points of interest to help us in our trip planning. He made sure we were familiar with the workings of the van and was always a text away if we had any questions. We would happily rent from him again!

Dug and his Kozy Koa van were exactly what we wanted for our trip to/around the Big Island. Dug was super communicative about our last minute booking, and also gave us a thorough explanation of the van (solar, battery, lighting, shower, etc) as well as including several useful locations to check out/stay. Lastly, , he accommodated our request for an evening return to coordinate with our late flight. The van itself was great - comfortable, roomy and had everything we needed, including beach mats, soft towels, and extras such as a mosquito net and magnets for when we wanted to leave the back doors open to sleep. It drove well, and we liked having an older model that didn’t stand out as a flashy campervan when parked up!

Dug’s van was my little home on the island for the week :) He thought of every detail to make it comfortable. Loved the wood detailing and having a good sized refrigerator. Having two fans was also clutch.

The best camper van we ever had!
The facilities are outstanding (hot shower, stove, refrigerator, multimedia box etc..), awesome design, and Dug the owner was super! Showed us great places to check out in the island and was very friendly and kind!
If you think about travelling the Big Island - that’s THE BEST way to do it.

Absolutely incredible. All the small details were thought out. Very functional. Very drivable. I paralleled parked the van, and my wife said, "color me impressed." I almost took offense, because of course I could park it.

We loved this van, it was great!We have done all kinds of camping and this was one of our favorite experiences. The flexibility to pick up and go while keeping all of our gear accessible was awesome! The hot shower right on the beach made others jealous. The stove on the door worked great. The bed was very comfortable. The storage and stowaway was well thought out and well designed. Having an indoor sink was very convenient. Refrigerator/Cooler was sufficient for our needs. Dug's magnetic mosquito netting system was clutch in a few settings; allowing us to sleep with the van doors open without being eaten alive by mosquitos.

This was the best way to see the big island of Hawaii. We saw nearly the entire island, and spent the night on beautiful parks by the ocean. It made the experience more memorable and the van was GREAT!! Highly recommend. Dug was communicable and excellent at suggestions and knowledgeable about the island.
