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 $158 per night + tax and $130 cleaning fee for 1-2 persons, 3 night minimum with advance reservation. (Futon couch also available for a child 13+ or third person, $15/night additional for 3rd person.) No pets.

If you love to snorkel, this is the place to stay! Hounaunau (2 step) is only a few minutes away. We visited our favorite underwater paradise early every morning. The breadbasket bakery lies at the entrance to the driveway, famous for its warm homemade bread and muffins. We relaxed in the hot tub and in a very comfortable bed. The outdoor shower was a high point of our experience. Mango, papaya, allspice and banana trees grow all around, with fresh fruit available. We lounged in our private yard and watched the birds. Kathy is a fantastic host. We loved staying here and plan to return on our next visit.

It was a privilege to stay in this space while we explored The Big Island. We are always looking to feel closer to the locals and experience what it is to live where we visit. We felt close to nature and our host had great recommendations that made our trip exciting and relaxing. I love an outdoor shower! We easily made food at “home” and had everything we needed for our island adventures. Being close to Two Step was such a treat.

Loved our stay here - truly, it was as advertised - a tropical hideaway indeed!Kathy and Mark made us feel welcomed and offered anything we needed. Including apple bananas and other fruits grown on-property.The coqui choir sang all night long and made our stay memorable. Two step - the best snorkeling in all of Hawaii in my opinion, just a few miles down the hill - and we were able to go each day of our stay.We even took in the Saturday evening mass at the painted church an were greeted with beautiful Aloha and leis.Highly recommend this lovely location.

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!
