Clean, large, beautiful view, kind hosts
This is our second time in Big Island. We knew we want to stay around Captain Cook area because we like to snorkel. We didn’t expect being greeted with the most delicious banana muffins. In addition, Keri and Tina generously share their fruits and eggs from the garden. The animals were all so cute and welcoming (yes including the geckos) - part of the package😊. We had two teen boys with us and the unit are big enough for all of us doing our school and work (at times) at separate spaces. Gratefully yours, CKMW

A wonderful place to stay
Thank you so much for a wonderful stay on the Big Island. Appreciated all the thoughtful things you did, like leaving fresh fruit and delicious homemade muffins for our arrival! What a treat to taste the hand-picked fresh fruits grown on your property. It really made us feel welcome, especially with the late arrival and being pretty hungry after the trip. Nothing like a fresh taste of the island and the sound of the frogs outside, to let you know you've arrived! Plus, great directions, so we were able to find you even in the dark - also love the little lights outside guiding us to your place every time. Your suggestions for where we could find things and looking into the Manta Ray booking on our behalf, really saved us time and made our holiday so much more enjoyable. Loved the binder that you put together with restaurant and beach suggestions. Thank you for being great hosts and making our visit fantastic!

Excellent location and sweet property
My family of four stayed here for ten days in June 2023. We had a great time all around and enjoyed this space immensely. Tina and Keri are gracious hosts, and we appreciated the homey feel of the place. The property information on the listing is accurate and there were no surprises. I recommend spot if you are looking for simplicity, a laid back feel and excellent proximity to many fun things to do! Fresh fruit, yummy muffins and fresh eggs are an appreciated touch as well!

Such a sweet spot in South Kona. The property embodies the natural wildness and beauty of the Island. Tina & Kari are excellent, experienced hosts. The added touches of baked goodies, coffee and fruit embody the spirit of aloha. Accommodations are very comfortable and well appointed.

We going coming back! The home was clean and comfortable with all kinds of amenities. We lacked for nothing—beach chairs, mats, towels, snorkeling gear, coolers. Tina and Keri made us feel like honored guests. They shared their farm fresh eggs, papayas, fresh roasted Kona coffee from their property, and other homegrown fruit. It’s true what others said about the amazing warm homemade muffins and generous fruit platter greeting.

Lovely retreat property
After reading several reviews for this property, my bar was set pretty high. However, it lived up to every expectation. We arrived very late at night to delicious home baked muffins, a lovely fresh fruit tray, fresh orange juice and Kona coffee beans. Every morning we feasted on fresh fruit and eggs from the property. In the house was a comprehensive binder that told us everything about the house and the surrounding area including best beaches, snorkeling locations, places to eat. Tina and Keri were very lovely, generous and gracious hosts. They were there to answer any questions we had and gave us lots of great advice. It was the perfect getaway place for my husband and I.

Wonderful stay
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our South Kona Hideaway experience. The spacious lanai offered a fabulous view. No traffic sounds - only birds and nighttime coqui frogs. The Lanai unit was clean, well equipped and roomy. I enjoyed preparing meals at the outdoor kitchen! So great! The muffins, fresh fruit on arrival and fresh chicken eggs were a bonus. As were the resident kitties - we miss Ditto! Also, we were grateful for all the beach/snorkeling equipment that was available for use. Nothing was lacking! Thank you, Tina, for being an attentive hostess and for being around to answer our questions and to enquire about our day’s activities.

Paradise Retreat - South Kona
South Kona Hideaway is truly a paradise retreat. From the start, we were greeted with the most delicious homemade muffins and a fruit plate picked fresh from the surrounding garden. The lanai apartment was spacious, bright, and thoughtfully filled with amenities. Our hosts truly made us feel the Ohana spirit. It was here that we could lounge on the deck, facing the ocean sunset, and not regret skipping a day of tourist sites. Situated in the Captain Cook coffee coast region, it’s close enough to the town attractions & beaches, and far enough to embrace the quiet and friendly neighborhood. And as much as we want to keep this gem our secret, we can’t help but rave about our stay and how much we look forward to returning.

Wonderful first week of our honeymoon - perfect!
We had such an amazing time staying at South Kona Hideaway - it really was the perfect first week of our honeymoon! Very clean and well set up, super comfy bed, everything you could need. Peaceful with the most stunning sunsets to enjoy on the balcony, and then as the sun goes down the frog chorus begins - wonderful! Tina was the perfect host, her homemade muffins were to die for and the tropical fruit platter, freshly squeezed orange juice and coffee beans all from the farm were such a treat. Tina was so helpful with top tips on things to do - we did everything and loved exploring the area. We really did have the most brilliant time and would love to come back one day! I would highly recommend this property. Thank you so much for welcoming us and looking after us so well. Mahalo.

Authentic and Soooo Friendly
The South Kona Hideaway property is perfect for easygoing travelers! It is priced appropriately and is the opposite of a luxury resort - and that's a good thing. You feel like an old friend visiting the locals. Tina and Keri are both incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. At the end of most days, we told them about our activities and they helped us plan the next day's adventures. All of the extra touches mentioned by other reviewers are true. This includes the homemade muffins awaiting your arrival (the chocolate chip ones are divine), all the snorkeling equipment you need, fresh eggs from their chickens (who we liked to feed our leftover lettuce), fresh avocados and other local produce (including site-grown Kona coffee), their friendly cats Ditto and Lester (who can be avoided if you're not a cat person), the dazzling sunsets from the back lanai, the comfortable sleep number beds and the effective bedroom air conditioner. We also enjoyed their recommendations regarding snorkeling locations and the great local restaurants (including Black Rock Pizza, Teshimas, Shaka Tacoz and Kaaloa's Super J's). The property fits the Big Island laid back vibe perfectly!

Authentic and Delightful
One of the many reasons we like The Big Island is the diversity of landscape, climate, and accommodations. We like cooler weather, some rainy afternoons, authentic landscapes (read "non-resort") and kind, down-to-earth people. South Kona Hideaway offered all these, with many extra delights. Tina and Keri were caring, helpful, and generous hosts - sharing their farm's bounty of fruit, extraordinary estate-grown (theirs) coffee. The warm-muffin greeting was delicious and so appreciated after a very long day of travel. The outside camp stove/oven worked just fine, with all the various cookware we needed for (their chicken's') eggs-over-easy, grilled salmon, and pizza. The lanai was perfect for our yoga practice; some of it covered for shade and rain-protection. The location is a fairly quick drive to Kona. Staying very near Captain Cook, is -- for our taste -- ideal. Mahalo, Tina and Keri!

Oasis in Paradise
How do you put into words everything this incredible place has been to my husband and I throughout our three week stay? We have been to Big Island many times but this was our first VRBO stay. The setting is breathtaking, as are the sunsets, lush tropical flowers in abundance. The extremely clean accommodation is roomy and equipped with everything one needs, and then some. The hosts even provide loaners of everything one needs for the beach and snorkelling. The king sized sleep number bed gave us such comfortable sleeps at the end of our adventurous days, However, what took our experience to another level was our friendly, kind and fun hosts, Tina snd Keri. And yes, as we’d read in many other reviews, those muffins were divine….waiting to greet us upon our arrival, as well as a beautiful tropical fruit plate….oh, and fresh coffee beans, right from their property! The resident hens were so kind as to regularly provide us with fresh eggs! Though we are more “dog people” we fell completely in love with their cat, Ditto. We will leave here today with a lump in our throat as this place, and it’s hosts, have touched our hearts, but filled with such amazing memories. Mahalo Tina and Keri for providing us such a special experience. We can’t wait to return, and to stay with you on our next trip. Ginny & Scott

Off the bustle of condo and hotel land, it was perfect for us. Dark sky night viewing without the drive, fresh chicken eggs, resident cats and a symphony of coqui frogs to sleep by. We were snorkeling rats everyday and location was perfect, short drive to beaches. Dreaming of when we can go again. Tina and Keri are wonderful hosts.
