Conveniently located, hosts are delightful, fresh fruit and eggs each morning, takes a night or two to get use to coqui frogs singing. Rural feel to location. Close to our favorite snorkeling and breakfast spots.

Came as strangers and left feeling like family. Tina and Keri are absolutely amazing hosts. Not only do they share their little piece of paradise but they also spoil you with fresh homemade muffins, fresh fruit from their property and eggs from their lovely chickens! Everything you could need was provided- chairs, cooler, umbrellas, towels etc! They had many guidebooks to help you find the best beaches, hikes etc. and were often around to answer any questions or give tips on where to go. We also enjoyed hanging out and getting to know them. Hawaii keeps calling us back and now we have a home away from home to go to! We can’t wait to return!

If you’re looking for a home away from home that’s just 10 minutes from the best snorkeling, you have found the place. We were greeted by Tina and Keri with fresh eggs, papayas, avocados and bananas and coffee straight from their land. Everything is authentic, especially the kindness and care they bring, including the best muffins and cake and expert knowledge of where to snorkel. Their library of guidebooks on nature, hiking, and travel were awesome, as well as every possible thing you might need, including coats to use for a trip to the volcano. This area, South Kona, is a special place to relax and enjoy Kona coffee, and adventures with a rainbow of fish. A big Mahalo to Tina and Keri for a trip of a life time.

This rental is fantastic! They undersell it. The view is incredible and everything you need is available and more! Generous and lovely hosts, delicious fruit and muffins and eggs, hilarious animals and wonderful location.

We loved this place that is tucked in on the west facing side with coffee, macadamia, avocado trees amongst other beautiful trees and flowers. So convenient to the beaches, snorkeling, volcano park, and not too far to get supplies or great food. Our hosts Tina and Keri were amazing. Fresh baked muffins (delicious), fresh eggs and fruit grown on their property. A perfect home base away from the crowds in Kona. A big thank you to Tina and Keri. Hope to see you again soon . Our granddaughter loved hanging with the cats and chickens every day and chatting up our hosts every morning. Mahalo

I can’t say enough about our stay. Tina and Kerri were great hosts. Anything we needed they were prompt and attentive. The property was quiet, clean, and perfect for our stay. We would stay again in the future.

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

Tina and Kerri were fantastic hostesses. They treated us with fresh fruit, and even fresh eggs from their own chickens, besides welcoming us with fresh baked muffins and a fruit plate to die for. The bedroom was quite small, but a sleep number mattress and an adequate closet made very comfortable. I could not check “quiet” because of the loud frog concert every night, but it was a natural sound easily muffled with ear plugs if one chose to do so. Otherwise, the area was very charming and quiet. We loved interacting with their many pets, that were never a nuisance, and enjoyed the landscape around their house, and the daily exchanges about eateries and beaches.

Lovely place, very hospitable hosts surprising us with home baked goods and lovely fresh fruit and eggs everyday. The whole experience here was impressive. We’ve stayed at many VRBO’s and can’t say enough about this place 😊

The grounds are gorgeous and very well maintained. Tina & Keri are accommodating, giving and caring of all people, animals and their community. The units are very clean, well stocked and the beds and linens were more comfortable than most! We will definitely return to the Hideaway.

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!
