Great accommodations

Clean and well stocked with necessary items. If you have travelers who have trouble sleeping with outside noises due to the koki frogs and early morning chickens you should plan to have access to a white noise app on your phone. It really helped. Altogether a great place to stay.

What a lovely gift

This home is exactly what you need if you truly want to share Aloha with your family. A spacious, clean home with ALL the amenities. An out door living room. An outdoor shower(with two indoor ones). The sound of the waves. The sunset thru the trees. An orange and lime tree in the yard for juice. Two SWEET neighboring beaches to in JOY. Comfortable beds. This was the most wonderful place for an Hawaiian Christmas with a family of 5. Wendy and Beth were professional and attentive. This place is a GIFT, true ALOHA. Mahalo Nui Loa

Absolute paradise

This was I think our favourite trip maybe ever?! Lovely house with the most perfect lanai, 2 minute walk from one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. At night, you’re lulled to sleep by tree frogs and crashing waves. Buy some freshly picked papayas at the fruit stand right by the beach. 10-15 minute breathtaking drive into town for grocery stores and restaurants. House has everything you could possibly need including snorkel equipment and beach chairs and such welcoming vibes. We didn’t want to leave and are already saving up for our next visit! Thank you Beth and Wendy for such a special stay!

Beautifully appointed home

The home was better than anticipated and has nearly everything you need for your stay. Instructions are clear, the communication with owners excellent. It was just a delightful space to be. A bit of a drive out for supplies so planning meals and stocking up helps a lot. On long days adventuring around the Island we just ate out, but we had supplies for breakfasts and snacking and a couple dinners we prepared at the house. A minute away is a little park with a sandy entrance into the bay for some really delightful snorkeling. Just a great time there...

Jungle By The Sea

We stayed 6 nights and found the house exactly as listed. There are 3 access points to the beach, all within a block of the front door. The house had plenty of space for our family of 4. The lanai was divine in the mornings and evenings to enjoy the tropical foliage and sounds of nature. We even liked hearing the frogs, which are shockingly loud and something we do not experience often.

Peaceful vacation in a beautiful setting

The six of us enjoyed the peaceful setting of the Aloha House very much. The close proximity to Manini Beach and to 2-step Beach allowed several members of our group to remain in the area and soak in the beauty of the area. Wendy was great! She solved any issue that popped up with a big smile and competence. Thank you for providing us with such a beautiful home to stay in.

Such a relaxing home on a beautiful cove

We celebrated my mom’s 80th birthday and she got to snorkel every day. The kitchen had everything we needed for family meals. We loved the lanai and gardens and outdoor shower. There is a little path straight out to the ocean for sunsets, or just a few yards to Manini Beach for snorkeling. We rented kayaks at the cove for a day and took them out again at sunset. A short drive to 2-step. Such a perfect low-key getaway with family!!

Love the fact that we were able to kayak to go see Dolphins and to top it off you can kayak to the famous snorkeling spot. It’s does not have air conditioning however there are plenty of fans to cool you off. Remember it’s the jungle there so you will here a lot of nature around you.

Beautiful Escape

Hidden treasure. Close to the water with excellent snorkeling. About 30 minutes from Kona airport. Only downside was we had people who got motion sickness from driving up and down the winding roads. We did find a less curvy way to get to the house that took longer but kept the motion sickness at bay.
