About this apartment rental

Tropical Hideaway is a charming Hawaii-style downstairs studio apartment in a lush garden setting, with ocean and sunset views, plus a chemical-free swimming pool with waterfall and private hot tub. Tropical Hideaway is just a three minute drive from fabulous snorkeling, kayaking, and diving experiences at Honaunau (Two Step), and close to Kealakekua Bay & Ho'okena Bay. Recently upgraded.

The beautifully landscaped garden is filled with mango, papaya, banana, likikoi, lemons, pineapple, figs, limes and other fruit trees and flowers. Relax in the back to nature environment or explore the island by day and return to your cozy retreat by night. Private hot tub and outdoor shower. The Studio is screened in the Hawaiian style (no glass), so as to be open to the tropical outdoor setting, pleasant breezes and nature's wonders. Explore the awesome beauty of Hawaii's active volcano or the upcountry pastures of Parker Ranch and the cowboy country of Waimea--each just a 1.5 hour drive.

Tropical Hideaway is located on the west side of the 'Big Island' of Hawaii about 20 miles south of the town of Kailua-Kona, 1 mile off the main island highway near the 'Painted Church,' and 2.5 miles from the 'Place of Refuge' National Park at Honaunau.

Rates: Studio $145 per night + tax and $130 cleaning fee for 1-2 persons, 3 night minimum with advance reservation. (Futon couch also available for a child 10+ or third person, $15/night additional for 3rd person.)

Relaxing and had everything we needed to cook and recreate. Jungle setting and elevation made it great for sleeping - cooler and the short bits of rain were great! Could smell flowers from hot tub. Appreciated the garden/jungle setting with views down to ocean from backyard. Wonderful location since we love snorkeling. Two Step and great snorkeling nearby. Painted church within walking distance was wonderful and so inviting! Another amazing thing was having the fresh bread stand at the bottom of the driveway. You gotta try the Ube and white chocolate chip cookies! We hope to be return guests!!

We loved the atmosphere of this great, laid back place. So fun for us as a couple. Location is easy to access, a little cooler than sea level, pleasantly breezy, close enough to play at numerous beaches, and visit the entire island. You have plenty of privacy, but Kathy the host, and Mark, the caretaker are quickly accessible and ready to help when needed. Friendly, willing to offer suggestions. Yes there are insects, frogs, and roosters talking at times, but we found them funny and relaxing after the initial introduction. Facilities are completely adequate for preparing meals when you want to. Bed is comfortable. Outdoor shower and hot tub were fun.Really, our stay felt magical, relaxed, and thoroughly enjoyable. We both loved it and hope to return next year.

Great location, just a short walk to the painted church and a quick drive to Two step or Kealakekua Bay. The outdoor shower was a treat and we loved the screened in windows to hear the sounds of the coqui at night and have the moonlight shine I. With the warm breezes. Fresh bananas every morning from trees on the property was appreciated!

Some good things here - cute place, easy access, charming looking, private enough, outdoor shower works great, pool access, lots of beach stuff to borrow, washer dryer available, and kitchen is well enough stocked, and general area interesting. Some not so great things here too, and in our opinion non-disclosures. We made the mistake of booking several months in advance, sight unseen for 4 weeks because we love the island and even the coqui frogs, so we thought that based on the description of this place, it would be similar to our previous location just south of here. But this place is a lanai (no glass on windows and main door), and I'd say just one step up from glamping - we had geckos inside and (one night) a cane spider in the bathroom sink. So this place is subject to little critters getting inside and doing what they want. The biggest problem though was roosters, to which the owner claimed ignorance and said they were new. Earplugs are not enough against the piercing noise of the highway or (especially) the roosters crowing day and night. Felt that we were dealt with in bad faith by owner and company when we had to leave after 4 nights of no sleep, and the experience cost us some stress and money and time to research a new location. The owner opined that our sensitivities to noise were the problem but that is demonstrably false, and other hosts give us 5 stars. We weren't the problem. Might be good for a short stay if you win at the rooster roulette, but not for us.

Rustic, that’s why I like it. Clean with everything we needed. Complimentary in season fruits grown on the property. Two roadside bakery stands about a two minute walk from our room. Five minute drive to the best snorkle spot. Our host is very nice and

I had such a relaxing stay. Supplies for the beach and snorkeling. Perfect location- minutes from two step. I would go back in a heartbeat!

It’s hard to choose a place to start when everything is so wonderful. The space is adorable and has everything you need for your stay. We used it as our home base for exploring the island, the close proximity to excellent snorkeling was amazing. We spent one day just at the space enjoying the hot tub and bbq, watching the sunset from the garden. I loved being serenaded to sleep by the tree frogs and gently awakened by the birds. Kathleen is a wonderful host and gave us a tour of the extensive tropical garden. I would stay here again!
