The Garden Getaway is a guest favorite because it is a LARGE UNIT IN A PRIVATE HOME IN A GREAT LOCATION (walk to white sand and snorkel / surf beaches), comfortable and private with a full kitchen, private outdoor shower, fenced front patio for dining and rear lanai for sunset viewing / bird watching, lovely breezes through the unit, designated parking, beach equipment provided, sparkling clean, guest laundry, responsive and knowledgeable host. Great for families with kids. Good Value! Established neighborhood with large lots. The Garden Getaway is separated from the street and neighbors by fencing and mature tropical plants. Prime location for enjoying all that Kona has to offer. Walk to Magic / White Sands Beach or Kahaluú Beach for snorkeling, surfing, or SUP. Magics Beach Grill is a 10 minute walk through the neighborhood. Guests love the private outdoor shower, feeding / watching the birds, and sleeping in an air conditioned bedroom. Park in designated spot on the street and enter through your private gate. If you arrive after dark the motion light will turn on to light your way to the door. A lockbox holds the key to let you in, where you will find another key. Return the lockbox key and you will never lock yourself out. Opening doors to the front patio and the real lanai will allow cooling ocean breezes to flow through the Garden Getaway. Welcome to your home away from home. We've got you covered. The onsite host lives upstairs, the cleaner lives around the corner and we have responsive handyman type people to help if an issue arises. Nancy is a Super Host who responds quickly when contacted and is very knowledgable, friendly, and generous. Quite residential neighborhood with large, older homes. Homes were designed in such a way that most garage doors do not face the street. Much character and mature beautiful foliage. Very quiet at night. We are located 1.5 miles from Keauhou Shopping Center. This expansive shopping center has a grocery store, drug store, book store, movie theater, salon, several clothing and gift shops, and medical services. Also a variety of restaurants, including; thai, mexican, hawaiian, italian, sports bar, and a restaurant with great ocean / sunset views, open air dining, and creative island cuisine (Sam Choy's). Great for families with kids. Birds and flowers galore. We provide bird seed (rear lanai) and comfy chairs for watching the birds and the sunset. Say "hi" to the neighbor's golden retriever Salty or tell her to "go home" if you don't want her stopping by: you won't hurt her feelings.
