Why the Owner Chose Private Homes
This particular area of Kona is perfect as far as climate and location. I have lived in many different areas of the Island, and this spot is the BEST.
It's at 900 ft. elevation, which allows the great views and the temperate climate. Coastal living can be very hot in Hawaii, while we are enjoying soft trade winds to keep the temperatures perfect. I also love this location because there are approximately 12 world class golf courses within a short drive, and the harbor is just 3 miles away, the launching place for many water activities. We are on one full acre of lush flora and fauna, with no neighbors below us, which gives us all the privacy you could ask for.
The Unique Benefits at this House
If you choose to stay home one day and forego the many close, exciting, fun activities that the Big Island has to offer, this is what a typical day may look like. . . Wake up to the lovely sounds of many song birds, lounge around the private pool (au naturale if desired) and soak up the warming rays of the sun while awaiting your turn for an incredible, nurturing, relaxing massage by one of Kona's most experienced and educated Massage Therapists (me : )). Leisurely prepare some breakfast in the outdoor kitchen while enjoying melodious Hawaiian music piped out to the pool area as the palms gently sway and the wind chimes sing to entertain you. IF you feel like going for a little walk, grab hold of the fruit pickers and roam around the acre; you may find avacados, mangos, papaya, banana, zapote, cherimoya and much more / help yourself. Move slowly, be in the moment, remain present for each other and indulge your senses with all the tropical sights, smells and tastes of the Kona Heavens Hideaway.
Your home away form home. Centrally located to many fun Kona activities and a peaceful relaxing base from which to enjoy your vacation. Private jetted hot tub under the stars; outdoor kitchen; son
3 miles from the house, this quiet cove beach often has sea turtles sunning themselves on the shore.

Downtown Kailua Kona is just 4 miles from the house, where you'll find fine dining and great shopping.

Here you'll find lots of local artists galleries and a fun village outdoor restaurant in a great setting. A great lunch or breakfast spot off the beaten track.
Owner's Map of Private Homes
Aloha,
My name is Sandra and I have lived in Kona since 1970. I came from California in search of a clean beach to lay on while deciding what to major in in University. Well, as it turned out, I stayed - never went back - and have loved living here ever since. I have traveled the world and must say "there is no place like home". When my children grew up and moved away I discovered that this home was too big for just me, so I made a vacation retreat of the downstairs portion, which includes the pool and yard and I'm so very happy to share this precious, peaceful place with visitors and share my knowledge of the Island as requested. I look forward to meeting you.

Excellent place

We were there last week, and it is an amazing place. The pool and spa along with the gardens were great!!! It was also very convenient.
Owner response:Aloha Shah, Thank you for your kind words; please come again. I hear from so many people that this place is even better than the pictures, but I'm not a photographer and it's difficult to capture "comfort" and "exquisite" in pictures. I'm happy your family had a good Kona experience and I was able to accommodate you. Much Aloha and Mahalo Sandra

I can't say enough good things about our vacation at this home. I did tons of hours of research looking for a vacation rental on-line. I keep coming back to this one as it had it's own pool and hot tub, which not that many did, and the price was very reasonable.. I had some trepidations about sharing the home as this is a basement rental. Turned out that this home is very private like it says. I couldn't have been more pleased. Now for the good stuff. The pool and spa were fantastic. We loved the outdoor kitchen and covered patio area's. The views were very good as we watched the sunsets and the boats come and go from a little harbor. The grounds were gorgeous and filled with flowers and fruit trees. This is such a good place I actually wish that we had more time just to enjoy the views, pool, etc.. Another great feature is this homes location. I had never been on Hawaii before and didn't really know the island at all. I knew that Kono was the dry side and that was about it. This home is close to just about everything we did. Costco is just down the hill, but the home is in a quite residential neighborhood. Kono Diving Company, (which I have to highly recommend as well. You absolutely have to do the night Manta Ray snorkel or dive. We did the snorkel and it's worth coming to the island just by itself. Research this, you wont be disappointed), is also just down the hill about 10 minutes away. It's almost centrally located between the volcano and Hilo as well, both of which we visited in day trips. This trip was a big deal for my family of four, something we can't afford very often, but I would not even considered staying anywhere else on the big island. Thank you Sandra for this rental and a place we will remember always!

We had the best time at the Kona Heavens Hideaway. Sandra is fantastic and her home is perfect in every way. The view is to die for, the tradewinds keep the temperature just right even though it may be very hot down in Kona and it is located close to everything. We have stayed at the property twice and will not even consider staying anywhere else when we visit the Big Island.

We have staying in many places found through vrbo but this one was exceptional. Beautiful setting, clean and well maintained property, easy to get to places from, space to run around... it had it all. We loved the privacy of the pool and gardens. My 12 year old twins loved the chickens! We would love to return for another visit!

We just enjoyed two awesome weeks at the Great Kona Escape and what a fantastic experience it was. The yard full of fruit trees, the birds, chickens and geckos kept our son busy as well as the pool and hot tub. The outdoor kitchen was fun to cook in. The neighborhood walks we great, lots of hills close bye to get a work out. We were only a few miles from Costco and some great restaurants, but out of town enough for a peaceful vacation .Sandra was generous and helpful with us on where to go and what to see. I would recommend this to everyone.

Host Sandra lives, and is, Aloha. That said - in my opinion - this VRBO is Superior. I am an avid VRBO customer. This rental was simply delightful. In the past, I've lodged at the resorts of Waikoloa, Mauna Lani and also the Fairmont Orchid. While they provide luxurious surroundings and amenities as does this rental, those resorts can in no way provide the ultimate privacy that one will experience at The Kona Heavens Hideaway. Should you find yourself in need, this VRBO also has the personal advantage of a 'kama aina' - a Hawai'i resident - who gives excellent advice &/or directions re: your Hawaiian stay. Take advantage of her skillful massage therapy services. You will not be dissapointed. The Kona Heavens Hideaway is a place of distinguished quality, exquisite leisure, but most of all, invaluable privacy. Mahalo Nui Loa Sandra, for your most precious spirit.

Staying @ the Kona Heavens Hideaway was the best, mostly I loved how much room we had! We never felt cooped up like we would at a hotel. My husband and I brought our 2 kids- a 12y.o. (girl) and 6 y.o.(boy) ( the 6 y.o. has TONS of energy) and they both had tons of stuff to do. From laying on the hammock or jumping on the trampoline to walking around the yard to see all of the fruit trees, the hot tub and pool,and all of the lizards that wandered by, they never got bored. That's saying a lot for my family. Sandra was gone for part of our stay, but she had a friend (Alexis) help us and both ladies were very friendly! They had fresh fruit cut and available for us on our trip. Alexis brought us fresh eggs from the neighborhood chickens. The location of the house is great, I liked that it wasn't in the middle of the hub, (it's about 10-15 minute drive to Ali'i Drive shopping.) One thing I forgot to mention was watching the sunsets from the patio .....UNBELIEVABLE! I cannot say enough good things about staying here, I really appreciate Sandra letting us stay in her home, we would love to stay here again whenever we decide to come back! (the pictures don't do the property justice)

Sandy was there to welcome us upon our arrival and provided a tour of the facilities and a bowl of fresh fruit and avocado from the garden. The accommodations were comfortable and luxurious. We enjoyed the open air kitchen and plenty of beauty and space everywhere. From the room and the patio areas you can view the ocean and beaches below, as well as lush vegetation nearby, alive with birds and lizards.

Two friends and I came to stay in Kona for a week for our friends' wedding. We wanted to be near Kona with some amenities. The property far surpassed my expectations. The rooms were airy and comfortable. The shower was amazing. I loved the outdoor kitchen. Plus, there was a wonderful pool and hot tub that we used often. Even though it was in a neighborhood, there was so much beautiful foliage surrounding the property that it seemed like we were in our own secluded jungle home. We had a view of the ocean and every night witnessed breathtaking sunsets. Sandra, the owner had a lot of information about the Big Island and was very friendly.

Question: Would I stay here again? Answer: Yes The location is excellent vis-a-vis exploring the Big Island. The house is in a very quiet neigborhood with lots of privacy. Sandy, our host/owner, was friendly and helpful. I have no reservations about recommending this home.
