A Little Slice of Paradise For Two Couples
Patty and John have a little paradise waiting for their guests! From the spectacular sunsets enjoyed on the lanai, to the evening and morning views over Kaileau-Kona, to the fruit trees that we were welcomed to enjoy, to the fully stocked 'home away from home' to the central island location, our 10 day stay was as perfect as we could have imagined.
We arrived very late into Hawaii and it was dark when we set out to find Holualoa Hideaway but the directions that Patty gave us made it pretty easy to find. The last turn onto Holualoa Hui Rd is not for the faint of heart but it got easier to navigate, especially in the daylight. Your own/rented vehicle is a must for staying at this location.
Patty and John are perfect hosts. They live on the shared property so accessing them was easy if we required assistance or were looking for recommendations but they also kept a professional boundary unless we opened the conversation first.
Beach towels and chairs, a cooler, yoga mats, games, books, a Big Island visitor guide for reference, a washer and dryer and air conditioned rooms made our vacation just that much more enjoyable.
From here we ventured north to Hawi and the Pololu Valley hike, along the western shores to find perfect beach and fishing spots, east to Hilo to the market, waterfalls and Waipi'o Valley and south to the most southern tip of the USA at South Point and the Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park.
We loved our stay and we will definitely be back...someday!
