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 .

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 got special enjoyment from the chickens strutting around the property and from one of the cats who seemed to know that our long stay had us missing our cats at home. The proximity to Two Step, where you can find some of the island's best snorkeling make this location, nestled among the fruit and coffee trees, just perfect! We'll be back! ##### Valerie W.

From the start, we were greeted with the most delicious homemade muffins and a fruit plate picked fresh from the surrounding garden. The lanai apartment was spacious, bright, and thoughtfully filled with amenities. Our hosts truly made us feel the Ohana spirit. It was here that we could lounge on the deck, facing the ocean sunset, and not regret skipping a day of tourist sites. Situated in the Captain Cook coffee coast region, it’s close enough to the town attractions & beaches, and far enough to embrace the quiet and friendly neighborhood. And as much as we want to keep this gem our secret, we can’t help but rave about our stay and how much we look forward to returning. ##### Charles T. Stayed 16 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 18, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication 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. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julie E., Fairbanks, AK Jan 7, 2015 #### Captain Cook B&B We really enjoyed our 4 night stay at the South Kona Hideaway in Captain Cook. The place had everything we needed and Tina was happy to chat with us. Our boys loved the beautiful fruit trays she made every morning and we enjoyed the muffins too. From this B&B we snorkeled and kayaked at the monument, went to the green sand beach, enjoyed hidden beaches and the Place of Refuge.. and ate. We love a stop at Monago hotel for home cooking. Annie's had great beer, fries, and onion rings, and we also had a nice dinner at Bianni's up the road towards Kona. I would recommend this place to couples or families with older children. You are in someone's house- so all parents know what that is like. Kids seem 10 times louder than usual. ##### Julie E. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tricia S.

The spacious lanai offered a fabulous view. No traffic sounds - only birds and nighttime coqui frogs. The Lanai unit was clean, well equipped and roomy. I enjoyed preparing meals at the outdoor kitchen! So great! The muffins, fresh fruit on arrival and fresh chicken eggs were a bonus. As were the resident kitties - we miss Ditto! Also, we were grateful for all the beach/snorkeling equipment that was available for use. Nothing was lacking! Thank you, Tina, for being an attentive hostess and for being around to answer our questions and to enquire about our day’s activities. ##### Tricia S.

A wonderful place to come back to after a day of exploring and adventure. The apartment was spacious and comfortable with a nice large lanai that overlooks a wide variety of tropical trees with a glimpse of the ocean through the trees. The only sounds you hear is the vast amount of birds chirping - it was an amazing chorus to wake up to. The owners were wonderful - booking a manta ray night snorkel for us, providing us with valuable information about the island, and providing an amazing fruit plate with homemade goodies the night before for our morning breakfast. This place is located within a short drive to an extremely good snorkeling area called Honaunau Bay. We were even able to snorkel with spinner dolphins in the morning at this bay. Overall - a great experience here! ##### Barbara P. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sheri W. Apr 12, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Lovely retreat property After reading several reviews for this property, my bar was set pretty high. However, it lived up to every expectation. We arrived very late at night to delicious home baked muffins, a lovely fresh fruit tray, fresh orange juice and Kona coffee beans. Every morning we feasted on fresh fruit and eggs from the property. In the house was a comprehensive binder that told us everything about the house and the surrounding area including best beaches, snorkeling locations, places to eat. Tina and Keri were very lovely, generous and gracious hosts. They were there to answer any questions we had and gave us lots of great advice. It was the perfect getaway place for my husband and I. ##### Sheri W. Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Denise W., Canada Nov 27, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A wonderful place to stay 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! ##### Denise W.
