Excellent location in Kona Town
Nestled in the hillside, a few blocks from Ali'i Dr, the Surf Hideaway is a good base from which to explore the area. The owners are super friendly and offer all sorts of water sports equipment to their guests. But if you're looking for luxurious lodging, this place would probably miss the mark for you. The bed could use replacing, but the linens were fresh & clean. The door does have a functioning lock so the review stating otherwise is no longer accurate. There was no AC, but I wasn't expecting that given this is Hawaii and cooling tropical breezes prevail. The kitchen was well equipped however, you might find a creepy crawler but, again, this is a tropical island where such things are not uncommon. Personally I prefer a place where toxic pesticides are not overly used. Just make sure to wash dishes prior to use and don't leave open containers of food out (there's a good sized refrigerator to store everything). All in all, it was a good stay but maybe best suited for younger people working with a tight budget, or older folks looking for an adventure.

This was a perfect place to crash when we arrived before we set off for the east side of the island. Comfy bed and super close to the airport and town.

Local Style
If you know Kona, it is definately local style (a good thing). It is great for 1 or 2 guest who want to do their thing in the village. Walking distance to all thats needed for those who want to stay young with the 10,000 steps per day. Not so much for the elderly who need to drive everywhere. I would definitely stay here again.

My flight was delayed so I arrived a day later than planned. After 28 hours travelling I was exhausted, jet lagged and in need of a comforting place to be. I was met with such a warm welcome and a beautiful place to stay. Couldn't believe how close I was to everything. Herbivores (Im vegan) was close by and somewhere I visited frequently. Safeway is a short walk away. I was travelling alone and felt so safe here. Would be back in a heart beat 💕💕
