Tina & Keri were fantastic hosts and really wanted to make sure our stay was as comfortable and enjoyable as possible. We can’t thank them enough. Highly recommended.
The name “Hideaway” is accurate: this is a secluded, quiet, peaceful, and relaxing home-like place to stay yet it is still really convenient to so many things at the same time.
They supplied us with freshly roasted coffee beans grown on the premises that was truly AMAZING, plus all sorts of delicious fruits & muffins.
Here’s what we were looking for and we got it with South Kona Hideaway:
•	A peaceful, low-key place to stay away from the crowds, traffic, and noise of the central Kona touristy area
•	Situated up in the hills among the coffee plantations where it is cooler at night. There is a large portable fan plus an a/c unit in the bedroom and that was all we needed
•	Still near the ocean, just a short drive away to many wonderful beaches that were less crowded
•	Our own separate apartment so besides just bedroom & bath we got a kitchen + table to eat at, full sitting area, and a nice-sized deck to sit out on as well.
The view looking west off the deck was beautiful, taking in the farm, trees, and flowering greenery, with the expanse of the ocean past that. You will get spectacular sunsets, plus in the other direction you get to see the sparkling lights on the hills.
We loved all the animals we encountered on the property – another thing we wouldn’t have gotten staying at a resort: Resident cats, dogs, and chickens + a beautiful horse to see in the field just off the deck. We went asleep to the sound of the frogs and woke up to the sound of the birds.
Tina and Keri are both really thoughtful and responsive to any of your needs. They even gave us heavy jackets to borrow for our visit up to Mauna Kea! They also supplied the unit with a really useful binder with maps & information and gave us lots of great recommendations for local things to see and do based on our interests. It was a really lovely two week stay.
