The title should answer all that you need to know!

Beautiful surroundings, quiet, great opportunity to do some nature watching, but most spectacular moment of my Hawaiian holiday was sitting on the balcony of The Lookout watching the sunset. The sunset was breathtaking and gave you goose bumps, The Lookout provided a perfect surronding to sit back and watch this glorious moment.

Arriving to Lou's South Kona Hideaway, I walked in the room dropping my huge travelling rucksack and said this place is truely amazing Lou! The attention to detail, cleanliness and home yet luxury feel of The Lookout was second to none.

Lou is a fantastic host, his knowledge of the area and island is fantastic, he is very accommodating and understanding.. I felt very much home from home with someone I felt I had known for a long time. Breakfast is divine and possibly the best meal i had in on my 14days of Island hopping around Hawaii, I wanted a second serving :-)

South Kona is awe-inspiring, breathtaking, beautiful and should be somewhere everyone who visits The Big Island stays. I am sad my stay was short and would plan a return trip to Hawaii JUST to go back to South Kona Hideaway.

Need I say anymore? ....Book now!!!!

What an amazing vacation made all the more spectacular by Lou and South Kona Hideaway!
This is the place to stay if you're looking to get away from the hustle and bustle. We stayed in the Lookout room and the views of the surrounding area and ocean are breathtaking. Do not be mistaken, this is a rural area and we chose it for that reason. We wanted to be living as the locals live, and not slap in the middle of the tourist action and the South Kona Hideaway delivered!
Our suite was well appointed and most important for us, great bed, great view, good shower and a kitchenette. Rising early with the time change can be an issue but all was resolved when we got up early, ground our own fresh Kona coffee, relaxed, decided on the day and then ate wonderful fresh fruit and breads Lou dropped off for breakfast.
Lou is a fantastic host, there when you need him, gone when you don't. He suggested places to eat that were wonderful as well as places to shop that equally delighted.
Though it had no impact on our trip, there are roosters. And they crow early in the morning, but for us they just added to overall experience.
We highly recommend the South Kona Hideaway and look forward to our next visit.

Felt like a vacation home! Stayed in the lower level, with kitchen, BBQ and spare bedroom (great if you have one or two kids).
Lou's breakfast juices were amazing! The fruit and coffee were fantastic! And there was a lot of privacy for a B&B!

Beautiful setting, outside of the hustle and bustle of Kona. Dogs in area bark lots in morning, but owner's dog is much better behaved. Sunsets were fabulous as were the gorgeous lizards on decks. We all loved the breakfast and fabulous local fruits served each morning. Mostly pros can be said. Cons were dogs/roosters in area, musty smell in lower level, lower level kitchen could use updating... fridge really loud! Daily sweeping would've been good.
B&B fit our needs beautifully.
