Kathleen greeted me as I drove up the driveway and spent time showing me around and how to use some of the different appliances. The interior of the cabin has an old fashion quaintness to it and the house is screened in without windows allowing the beautiful trade winds to cool you at night. It’s perfectly located in South Kona very close to snorkeling beaches coffee farms fruit stands and macadamia nut farms. There was some road noise in the early evening but perfectly quiet at night. It is a level entrance and the cabin is level and no steps are required. The use of her washer and dryer came in handy at the end of our four days to do a load of various swimsuits and towels. I would definitely recommend tropical hideaway if you want to experience being close to nature but with amenities. Mahalo Cathy for a very enjoyable time.
