Cook your own meals or dine out-it’s your choice. We are close to grocery stores, shopping, restaurants and many activities and a great jumping-off place for other activities around the island. This adorable and spacious (600 sq ft) studio is open, bright and airy. The entire ocean facing wall of the Hideaway is filled with windows and peaceful views of the lawn, (horseshoes and badminton anyone?) landscaping, trees and the sea.
Enjoy the lovely living room area with “elephant” bamboo couch and chairs, cable TV, DVD player and both indoor and outdoor dining areas. Sleep like a baby in the comfy king size bed and relax in the private bath with tub and shower, complimentary robes included. The beautifully equipped kitchen is there for those who’d like to cook.

Romantic Capt Cook/Honaunau Hideaway, Stand up Paddle & Kayaks
Year Purchased: 2007
The Unique Benefits at this Studio
We are less than 10 minutes from two great places to snorkel & kayak, (Two Steps at Honaunau) right at the entrance to Pu’uHonua O Honaunau National Historical Park. (City of Refugee) and Captain Cook's Monument, home of The spectacular marine sanctuary at Kealakekua Bay. That offers an abundance of colorful tropical fish, a variety of beautiful coral reefs and visibility often to 100 feet. The calm, protected waters and sunny skies of Kealakekua Bay provide superior snorkeling and diving year round, with the water temperature averaging 76 degrees.
The Hideaways have a full kitchen “Paniolo King suite” or efficiency kitchen ”Plumeria Queen suite” for your own meals or we are located near some very nice restaurants.
We have wireless connection for our clients.
We hope that you will book with us and share our beautiful location.

Exceeded My High Expectations

I had high expectations because of all the good reviews, but this place actually surpassed those expectations. We had a wonderful week-long stay, and we're already planning our return. Beth and Dave are delightful hosts, and their rental units are attractive and comfortable. Rather than repeat all the glowing comments made in other reviews, I'll add a couple of observations. Beth's standard of clean is higher than anything I've ever experienced in a vacation rental. For example, she washes all the blankets and bedspreads between every stay. No cooties in this place! All the furniture was extremely comfortable, including the bed. As far as amenities go, this place had things I didn't even know I needed, until I needed them. Things like a first aid kit. A whistling tea kettle. An iPod dock. Lots of good books, CDs, and DVDs. All the comforts of home (but cleaner!). The location was great. We spent most of our time at Two Steps and the Place of Refuge, both of which are a traffic-free five minute drive down the hill. This place met all my vacation needs, and I'm going to re-book for next year before someone else takes the time I want.

Paradise Found!

When we decided to go to the Big Island for our 20th wedding anniversary, I wanted to find a unique property worthy of our special celebration. Having booked a rental online on Kauai a few years ago, and being disappointed in the result, I was hesitant to do it again. But, I decided to try again and was excited to find the VRBO site. I ended up booking TWO places on VRBO; one on the Kona side and one in Volcano. I was overjoyed that both places exceeded my expectations. We stayed at Beth' Hawaiian Hideaway for about 10 days and didn't want to leave!! Beth and Dave are fantastic hosts as well as being genuinely nice people who really embody the "aloha spirit." To celebrate our anniversary, they had beautiful, yummy pastries waiting for us as well as a huge platter of fresh fruit: pineapple, papaya and bananas. Throughout our stay we would come home from a long day of adventures and find more fresh fruit on our doorstep. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to make home-cooked meals. I loved the way the unit was decorated (the website pictures are accurate), everything being carefully selected and lovingly displayed. We found the location very much to our liking because it is off-the-beaten path. The surrounding property is quiet and tranquil with gorgeous sunsets framed by giant Monkeypod trees. Beth and Dave are always available to answer questions, get things that you might need but remain behind the scenes if you want a lot of alone time. Dave helped us with the kayak we borrowed so we could explore "Two Step"--great place for snorkeling and spotting Spinner dolphins! I have only one caveat: if you are "creeped out" by lizards of any kind, you might be better off in a boring, hermetically-sealed, overpriced condo in Kona. The cute little geckos that come in and out of the unit are totally harmless and extremely photogenic--I have about a billion pictures of them! If you want a place where unforgettable vacation memories are made that is quaint, clean, moderately-priced, and just a little slice of paradise with awesome hosts who really care--stay at Beth and Dave's. You won't be sorry!

Sunny side of the Big Island

The listing and photos were accurate. The owners were easy to deal with on both a business level (when arranging the booking and payment) and on a personal level (when trying to strap a kayak to our vehicle or planning what to see and do each day). Great hosts. The owners live on-site in a rather nice house on a hillside. This "hideaway" and their one other rental unit are tucked partially under the home and partially extending out onto the big backyard. The entire west wall of the unit is windows (well just screens actually) and we found the unit bright and fresh. Without a/c it seemed to be a perfect 75 degrees all day long and 70 degrees all night long. We had a nice feeling of privacy in our unit. Occasionally we took a break from touring and lounged by the pool (beside the house) and felt very comfortable there too. It's a nice setup. The little town of Captain Cook and this rental unit are "off the map" - there's not a resort, hotel or night club for miles. It's a neat little spot surrounded by rural homes, small farms, local folk and nature. Visiting "Place of Refuge" (a couple miles down the road) was a great spot to snorkel or sit seaside and watch the sunset. Visiting "Painted Church" (walking distance) was a really nice afternoon walk on a country road. At Kona (maybe 30 minutes drive) the beaches are a bit warmer and sunnier but also busy, busy so we were happy each day coming back to our hideaway.

My husband and I had an amazing time spending our honeymoon here! Not only does the Hideway offer nearly everything you need for your stay, but its location provides a secluded paradise that is still just moments away from beaches, entertainment, and more! Beth and Dave are gracious hosts and have generously included everything you need for kayaking, paddleboarding, and snorkeling (along with site recommendations too). The view from the cottage is impeccable and the grounds are filled with all sorts of delicious fruit trees, beautiful birds, and other lush landscape. The cottage itself was stocked with nearly everything we needed- from beach towels to cookware to Hawaii books of all topics; we felt at home during our stay. We can't wait to return and with out a doubt, highly-highly recommend this place for your Hawaiian vacation!

Excellent Cozy Cottage

We really enjoyed our stay in Beth & Dave's cottage! They were extremely nice, even so far as giving us a few pieces of bread when we forgot to get it at the local market! If you want a quiet, non-tourist part of Hawaii, this is a great way to go. The snorkeling at two-step was wonderful and a short drive. Kona is only 30-40 minutes away and some great swim/sand beaches about an hour away. The amenities inside the cottage were awesome (we made use of the aloe vera)! Having many choices for equipment was great too - being smaller in size I was amazed they had snorkel gear that fit! Thanks Beth & Dave for a wonderful place to stay!

Paradise Honeymoon

My new wife and I are just finishing our 10 day Honeymoon stay here. It has been wonderful. Dave and Beth have a beautiful, comfortable place. They have everything you could need. The space is aesthetically beautiful, attention was given to every detail from the flowers to the fresh fruit grown in the yard. The location is tranquil and feels secluded but is close to perfect spots for snorkeling, kayaking or even dinner out. It is a great home base to tour the Island. We went from the south tip to the volcano, up for one night in Hilo, returned through waterfalls and the beautiful Hawaii Botanical Garden. Our one night away made us realize how lucky we were to have found such a perfect place to stay. To top it off they provided all the gear we needed and showed us how to put in on our rental car. This saved us time and money and allowed us to try things we might never have otherwise (Paddle boarding). Whenever we needed something it miraculously appeared on our doorstep overnight. We can't thank Dave and Beth enough. Aloha! - Lew and Willow

Our stay in the Plumeria Suite was our first time in a vacation rental, and was a wonderful experience. Beth and Dave are excellent hosts and the suite itself is so charming and clean. The pictures really don't do it justice. It is the perfect, rural alternative for people who are not into resorts. We loved watching the sun set over the bay from our lanai, picking fresh fruit in the yard, and the 5-minute drive to Two-Step for amazing snorkeling. Beth and Dave have thought of everything and the suite is well-stocked with all kinds of goodies, cooking equipment, books, and outdoor gear. We arrived well after dark and Dave even ushered us in from the road with a flashlight. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it to our friends.

First off, I have to say that Beth and David put a lot of love into there property. The studio is really romantic and homey, making it the ideal hideaway. my husband and I were very much in love with the place. The kitchen was perfect for our needs. Fresh fruits on the property including naval oranges Papaya and banana's it was the best fruit salad ever. It is minutes away from the best snorkeling on the island. And, a wonderful walk down at the historical city of refuge. Dave and Beth have so much info on the Big Island and the best places to go if you wanna stay away from the expensive touristy stuff. My favorite thing to do was watch the sunset and listen to the sounds of of the geckos and other wild life. It is truly and magical spot and I hope to be going back for another adventure in paradise.

If you want to be awakened by birds instead of garbage trucks. If you want to feel like you are alone in this paradise. This is for you. Just drove five mintues to two step and swam with dolphins. Don't pay for snorkel cruises, I've been to most of the snorkel spots on the island and two step is the best. Dave and Beth go above and beyond to make your vacation great. You will rarely see them if you choose but they will respond to your every need. I could go on and on. You just have to come here and see for yourself. Don and Peggy
