Great location and hosts

Second time staying here and we enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Great hosts!! Plenty of space, great view, cooler weather being uphill a ways from the water. A really nice place to get away and relax. Plus it's just a short drive to great snorkeling.

A little piece of heaven

Lovely place, very hospitable hosts surprising us with home baked goods and lovely fresh fruit and eggs everyday. The whole experience here was impressive. We’ve stayed at many VRBO’s and can’t say enough about this place 😊

Great Experience

Tina and Keri were fabulous hosts! From the welcoming warm muffins to the fresh fruits and eggs, they were generous and kind. The evening view from the deck can’t be beat! The facility had everything we needed, was clean, and comfortable. The ladies gave us many helpful suggestions as far as activities and dining. It felt like we were leaving good friends when we left. We highly recommend staying here!

Hawaiian Paradise

Such a sweet spot in South Kona. The property embodies the natural wildness and beauty of the Island. Tina & Kari are excellent, experienced hosts. The added touches of baked goodies, coffee and fruit embody the spirit of aloha. Accommodations are very comfortable and well appointed. Feeling relaxed and rejuvenated from our stay at the Hideaway. --Mahalo Nui Loa

Clean, large, beautiful view, kind hosts

This is our second time in Big Island. We knew we want to stay around Captain Cook area because we like to snorkel. We didn’t expect being greeted with the most delicious banana muffins. In addition, Keri and Tina generously share their fruits and eggs from the garden. The animals were all so cute and welcoming (yes including the geckos) - part of the package😊. We had two teen boys with us and the unit are big enough for all of us doing our school and work (at times) at separate spaces. Gratefully yours, CKMW

Wonderful stay

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our South Kona Hideaway experience. The spacious lanai offered a fabulous view. No traffic sounds - only birds and nighttime coqui frogs. The Lanai unit was clean, well equipped and roomy. I enjoyed preparing meals at the outdoor kitchen! So great! The muffins, fresh fruit on arrival and fresh chicken eggs were a bonus. As were the resident kitties - we miss Ditto! Also, we were grateful for all the beach/snorkeling equipment that was available for use. Nothing was lacking! Thank you, Tina, for being an attentive hostess and for being around to answer our questions and to enquire about our day’s activities.

True Big Island Spirit

We loved this place that is tucked in on the west facing side with coffee, macadamia, avocado trees amongst other beautiful trees and flowers. So convenient to the beaches, snorkeling, volcano park, and not too far to get supplies or great food. Our hosts Tina and Keri were amazing. Fresh baked muffins (delicious), fresh eggs and fruit grown on their property. A perfect home base away from the crowds in Kona. A big thank you to Tina and Keri. Hope to see you again soon . Our granddaughter loved hanging with the cats and chickens every day and chatting up our hosts every morning. Mahalo

Tina and Kerri were fantastic hostesses. They treated us with fresh fruit, and even fresh eggs from their own chickens, besides welcoming us with fresh baked muffins and a fruit plate to die for. The bedroom was quite small, but a sleep number mattress and an adequate closet made very comfortable. I could not check “quiet” because of the loud frog concert every night, but it was a natural sound easily muffled with ear plugs if one chose to do so. Otherwise, the area was very charming and quiet. We loved interacting with their many pets, that were never a nuisance, and enjoyed the landscape around their house, and the daily exchanges about eateries and beaches.

A wonderful place to stay

Thank you so much for a wonderful stay on the Big Island. Appreciated all the thoughtful things you did, like leaving fresh fruit and delicious homemade muffins for our arrival! What a treat to taste the hand-picked fresh fruits grown on your property. It really made us feel welcome, especially with the late arrival and being pretty hungry after the trip. Nothing like a fresh taste of the island and the sound of the frogs outside, to let you know you've arrived! Plus, great directions, so we were able to find you even in the dark - also love the little lights outside guiding us to your place every time. Your suggestions for where we could find things and looking into the Manta Ray booking on our behalf, really saved us time and made our holiday so much more enjoyable. Loved the binder that you put together with restaurant and beach suggestions. Thank you for being great hosts and making our visit fantastic!

Excellent location and sweet property

My family of four stayed here for ten days in June 2023. We had a great time all around and enjoyed this space immensely. Tina and Keri are gracious hosts, and we appreciated the homey feel of the place. The property information on the listing is accurate and there were no surprises. I recommend spot if you are looking for simplicity, a laid back feel and excellent proximity to many fun things to do! Fresh fruit, yummy muffins and fresh eggs are an appreciated touch as well!

Amazing place with the best host

Super clean unit Ultra comfy bed and pillows The host was ultra-sympathic, avalaible and helpful The cats, dogs and chickens were pretty cool as well Muffins were just EPIC !!! The location of this place makes it a really nice spot to relax at the end of your daily activities. We stayed there 2 weeks. We went to many beaches, the volcano, the Mauna Kea Summit and we played golf a lot. We enjoyed coming back before the sunset and relax outside on the lanai and admiring the view. 5 stars says it all !!!

Honored guests

We going coming back! The home was clean and comfortable with all kinds of amenities. We lacked for nothing—beach chairs, mats, towels, snorkeling gear, coolers. Tina and Keri made us feel like honored guests. They shared their farm fresh eggs, papayas, fresh roasted Kona coffee from their property, and other homegrown fruit. It’s true what others said about the amazing warm homemade muffins and generous fruit platter greeting.

Lovely retreat property

After reading several reviews for this property, my bar was set pretty high. However, it lived up to every expectation. We arrived very late at night to delicious home baked muffins, a lovely fresh fruit tray, fresh orange juice and Kona coffee beans. Every morning we feasted on fresh fruit and eggs from the property. In the house was a comprehensive binder that told us everything about the house and the surrounding area including best beaches, snorkeling locations, places to eat. Tina and Keri were very lovely, generous and gracious hosts. They were there to answer any questions we had and gave us lots of great advice. It was the perfect getaway place for my husband and I.

Paradise Retreat - South Kona

South Kona Hideaway is truly a paradise retreat. From the start, we were greeted with the most delicious homemade muffins and a fruit plate picked fresh from the surrounding garden. The lanai apartment was spacious, bright, and thoughtfully filled with amenities. Our hosts truly made us feel the Ohana spirit. It was here that we could lounge on the deck, facing the ocean sunset, and not regret skipping a day of tourist sites. Situated in the Captain Cook coffee coast region, it’s close enough to the town attractions & beaches, and far enough to embrace the quiet and friendly neighborhood. And as much as we want to keep this gem our secret, we can’t help but rave about our stay and how much we look forward to returning.

Wonderful first week of our honeymoon - perfect!

We had such an amazing time staying at South Kona Hideaway - it really was the perfect first week of our honeymoon! Very clean and well set up, super comfy bed, everything you could need. Peaceful with the most stunning sunsets to enjoy on the balcony, and then as the sun goes down the frog chorus begins - wonderful! Tina was the perfect host, her homemade muffins were to die for and the tropical fruit platter, freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee beans all from the farm were such a treat. Tina was so helpful with top tips on things to do - we did everything and loved exploring the area. We really did have the most brilliant time and would love to come back one day! I would highly recommend this property. Thank you so much for welcoming us and looking after us so well. Mahalo.
