Property Description
Nestled on the slopes of Hualalai, the Keauhou Hideaway is a private retreat on 2.7 acres of lush tropical vegetation. The 800' elevation affords a spectacular view of the Kona coastline and ensures warm, sunny days and cool nights.
Renovated last in 2012, the Hideaway has 3 separate bedrooms and a fourth main building (kitchen dining and living room) which link to create a delightful courtyard.
The tranquil grounds are home to mango, avocado, fig, papaya and citrus trees. In addition, passion fruit vines, bananas, herbs and more await your discovery!
Java sparrows, doves, finches, cardinals, and canaries wake you with their song. If wild seed is available at their feeding area, you will experience a real treat.
As owners, we travel here periodically to escape from rainy Oregon.
We think this place is magic, please treat it with respect.
Much Aloha!
(Note: Owners' studio to the east of the main building is not included in the rental. This buiding is not occupied when the property is rented.)

The property was incredible. The views from the patio/pool/spa were unbeatable. We enjoyed the outdoor space and all the fruit trees in the yard. We really enjoyed the bird feeder and provided seed as it brought in so many beautiful birds to watch. It was a very nice space to come back to after long days of exploring the island. We were a family of 5 adults, so the separate bedroom situation worked well for us, but might not work for families with small children. Anthony was great to work with and very quick to respond and helpful when needs arose. The property is secluded, but a short drive to restaurants/farmers markets/stores. We all agreed the location was one of our favorite places we have stayed over the years. We are not ones to relax much on vacation, but this location really invited us to just sit back, enjoy the yard and unwind! Would definitely stay at the Hideaway if we return to The Big Island!

Great location and the view is spectacular. Nice pool and hot tub. What fell short was the lack of up keep on the property. When we arrived, the toilet seat in the master bedroom was broken and the toilet paper holder was off the wall. The property manager arrived to fix the toilet seat. He brought a round seat rather than an oval that didn’t fit the toilet, which remained the full 10 days we were there. The coffee pot didn’t work and it was two days before we got a new one. The TV didn’t work so again the property manager came put new batteries in the remote and was able to get it turned on. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t change channels, and they couldn’t turn it off without unplugging it. He said he couldn’t fix it because he didn’t know anything about TVs. The printed material and check in information said that the swimming pool was heated to 88 with solar panels. Again, the property manager that came out said the pool is not heated never has been and we saw no evidence of solar paneld or 88 There were solar panels that were for hot water but the first few days we were there it was overcast and we were only able to get one hot shower one day everyone else had cold showers. Had we known there was no back up for the hot water we would’ve managed our time and activities differently. This property has great potential and some wonderful amenities. It just needs some TLC.

The property was beautiful, the gardens were lovely, fruit, trees, flowers everywhere. Swimming pool, very nice and clean, solar heated, Jacuzzi could use a little cleanup or at least some bromine to keep it clean while visiting. Plenty of amenities, we will go back.

This property was a good fit for our 3-generation holiday vacation. Each couple had their own bedroom with bathroom. The pool and hot tub were used almost each evening as we returned from sightseeing and touring the island. The location was a good midpoint for accessing many of the island attractions. Our only concern was the cleanliness of the home could have been better. The tile floors were dirty. I spilled water when filling ice trays and when I wiped it up with a paper towel it came up a dirty brown. We also noticed glasses in the cupboards were dusty/dirty and required washing prior to using. There appeared to be mold along the rim of the washing machine door. But overall, this home was a great fit for us and we enjoyed it immensely. I would definitely recommend to others.

Overall our stay was quite lovely. Although the place was not as clean as I would have liked, we would stay here again.

We cannot say enough about this property. The most amazing views! A meticulously maintained yard and garden! A variety of fresh fruit ready to be picked right off the trees! Swimming pool and hot tub! And one of the best cared for homes that we have ever stayed in.
The bedrooms are separate from the main house and offer a sense of privacy when you need it. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you would need to cook a meal. And the Webber barbecue on site was clean and well maintained.
The owner's representative was easy to communicate with. And the guidebook in the house was extremely helpful.
We are already talking about returning to the island and this home!

We had a fabulous time! The layout of the house was perfect for our family. We enjoyed walking around the property identifying all the plants. But the view was phenomenal, gorgeous sunsets and on the few clear nights we had, the stargazing was out of this world. I would definitely recommend this property and can’t wait to get back.

8 nights here this June. Chose the property for the seclusion, acreage of fruit trees to explore, view, & private pool. Half the price of other properties with these features.
A few drawbacks wish we had known when booking that perhaps I should have realized from the description:
1. Bedrooms do not lead out into one central area and one is not even within the locked gate of the compound. This made me nervous at night to have my kids in rooms that were not behind a shared locked gate.
2. Some windows actually are not able to be closed - all have screens.
3. Invasive Coqui frogs yell dusk to dawn and with the lack of A/C and ability to close all windows, they were very annoying.
4. The pool is small though sufficient.
Neighborhood a mix of nicely kept properties like this one and a burned down structure where squatters took residence.
Check-in. Asked for instructions the night before - was sent a PDF I could not open and no one replied to a message regarding this. Arrived at designated check-in time having stopped at Costco on the way (with frozen items) and we could not get into the buildings. Called the number listed - no answer. Called VRBO. After a few attempts, they reached the owners who were not in the state and seemed annoyed and gave us a code that did not work. After about an hour, a local person called us and gave us the correct code for the key.
Loved watching the birds, good laundry facilities. Would write more positive but no more characters allowed.

Beautiful view, wonderful garden, and fruit for the picking, lots of room for the family to spread out, it was so nice to have everyone at the same location. A big thanks to Linda for all the help she provided. We had a great time!

This is the second time we have stayed at the "Hideaway". It is a beautiful property. Very private and peaceful. There are 3 bedrooms detached from the main living area -- they provide privacy for everyone. The main living area is extremely comfortable. A decent kitchen, excellent BBQ and a beautiful deck/patio with a heated pool and hot tub. The views from the patio/deck and sunsets were spectacular. We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it.

After a little fumble with the check-in (word to the wise: make sure the pdf is legible in advance of later check-ins after a long day of travel 😅), the property was better than we could have imagined. A gorgeous paradise; I dontpp

We loved our second stay here! The setup and location of this home is perfect. We had three couples and the separate bedrooms work perfectly and the shared space was great, but our favorite part is the view and outdoor area - it’s such a perfect place to sit and enjoy. We plan on coming back again because we love this place so much!
