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.)

Kathleen was a very welcoming host and had everything we needed for our stay. A great experience to be out in the jungle with an outdoor shower and with surrounding screen windows in a private area that gives the stay a true getaway feel. Just be prepared to experience all the sounds of the jungle with roosters and frogs. Would stay again!

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.
