Looking for the best method to cool and dry a small food storage room

I live in year-round hot and humid Hawaii. I'm planning to build a food storage room/pantry that is dehumidified and cooled. The room is located on the ground floor in the middle of the home (no walls are exterior walls). Evaporator units don't work well here because it's too humid. The room will be well insulated and only be about 6'x6'x9' (LxWxH) but I do want to maintain it at 60-65 degrees constantly. It will also be used to store wine. I am afraid that even the smallest ductless mini split air conditioner would freeze up or not operate properly in such a tiny room. I'm hoping there are other products out there that would be more ideal for such an application. Does anyone have any experience air conditioning such a tiny space? Or building a room like this in general?
