Charming Tropical Hideaway, Best Snorkeling, Pool, Hot Tub

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Tropical Hideaway. Great location on the Kona coast and within hiking distance of the best snorkelling on the island. The painted Church, which is only a few hundred meters away, is also truly lovely and inspiring. Great spot for a couple wanting to get away from it all.

My daughter and I stayed 4 nights and enjoyed the open air studio and hot tube. We snorkeled everyday at the near by beaches and never had the chance to use the very clean salt water pool. Kathy is the perfect host providing fresh organic fruit grown on site and great local information.

The only reason for not giving it a 5 star rating is due to a sleepless night due to dripping on the lanai’s roof due to the lack of gutters on the main roof. This only occurred after a rainy day. I tried ear plugs but the non-consistent drips were amplified by the nights stillness.

Thanks for the hospitality and fond memories!

Loved the hot tub and the out door shower..the host(s) were very friendly and hospitable! Can't wait to go back!!

"Tropical Hideaway" says it all. Your own Jacuzzi, view of the ocean, very private and a super comfy bed.

It is minutes away from one of the best snorkeling locations in all of Hawai'i ("Two-Step"), not just the Big Island. My wife and I enjoyed 10 awesome days here. Kathy, the owner, is very helpful and makes it a point to explain that your privacy will be respected and maintained (and it was!).

The entire property is quite lush, and we always felt very safe and secure during out stay.

My husband and I spent three nights at Tropical Hideaway at the beginning of our trip to the big island. When we arrived late in the evening, we were greeted by Kathleen, the owner, and she graciously showed us around the property. The place was extremely well stocked and even had baskets of fresh fruit from the property that we could eat. We LOVED the private hot tub. There is also something so refreshing about showering outside (though the spiders outdoors made quick webs so we had to clear a path almost every time we went to shower). The screen walls allowed a wonderful breeze to blow through the house and the foliage around the house provided enough privacy so walls really weren’t necessary, plus you get a nice view of the trees and a small ocean view to boot. The inside of the house was very clean with only the occasional earwig or two. If you’re alright with a little spiderweb clearing and a more “outdoor” experience, you’ll love Tropical Hideaway!
