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.)

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

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!

It was more than pleasant to live in our little screened in studio. Very private. Ecologically conscious. Wonderful hot tub and outdoor shower, Hope to return one day!

This property is on a hill with a bit of an ocean view, better when at the pool which was a beautiful small saltwater pool that was ten feet deep! The hot tub on the porch was nice for relaxing and listening to all the birds around you. It's mostly open air with an outdoor shower... loved it!! Kathleen is a photographer and her stunning photos decorate the rooms. The yard is lush with all types of tropical plants and trees. Lots of bananas and papaya they set out for you. They have a washer and dryer and lots of gear you can use. I would definitely stay here again!!

We have nothing but good things to say about our stay at Tropical Hideaway! We had everything we needed, and it was the perfect place to enjoy beautiful Hawaii! We loved waking up every day to such a beautiful view, and going to sleep to the chirping of the birds, frogs, and bugs! The privacy of the property was awesome, and it was still such a short drive to great snorkeling and our other adventures! The hosts were so kind and ensured we had everything we needed, and gave us some good pointers for things to do on the island. We loved the fact that the place was just screened in instead of windows, it allowed for a really nice breeze and even without heating and cooling we were always comfortable! We enjoyed using the hot tub every day, and the grill and cooking appliances allowed us to cook several meals while we were there. We loved the ease of recycling and composting as well-everything is set up for little waste! We highly highly recommend this stay, and would love to stay here again if we make it back to Hawaii someday!!

We greatly enjoyed our stay at the tropical hideaway, conveniently located a few minutes drive from two step beach+many coffee shops and about 30 minutes from Kona(which is you ask me, is the perfect distance from the busy tourist town). The space itself is beautiful and private, although the space is below Kathy’s living quarters, we truly felt we had the whole property to ourselves on our honeymoon and barely saw/heard anyone the whole week we stayed. The sunsets from our private hot tub were gorgeous, the home is well stocked, and the frogs put us right to sleep at night( bring ear plugs if you never have slept in a place with frogs as they can be loud to some people) . Kathy was a great host, giving us a tour when we arrived then leaving us to enjoy our privacy. She is responsive and very helpful of what’s locally around. We came for our Honeymoon and wished we could stay longer! 100% would stay again on our next visit to the BI!
