About Beth Kirwan
Beth and Dennis Kirwan, owners. Dennis and I grew up on the Mendocino Coast. I lived in Hawaii in the third grade. We currently live in Mendocino, CA. My father lives in Hawaii and is a coffee and mango farmer on the Big Island.
We have two boys, Casey (21) who is a professional bull rider and lives in Texas and Blake (18), is a senior at Fort Bragg High School living with us.
We also have two dogs, Daisy and Colton and a horse named Rooster!
Beth Kirwan purchased this house in 2002
Why Beth Kirwan chose Kona Coast
When we bought the property, it was all over grown with a rusty old car in the middle of the lot. We designed and built the Aloha House specifically as a vacation rental. We wanted to create a home to share that is comfortable for families to use as if it was their own.
What makes this house unique
The house is situated in a great little neighborhood. It is about a two minute walk to the Pacific Ocean (west of the house) and to Kealakekua Bay (North of the house). The location is a perfect home-base for exploring around the island.
The house is beautiful, with its huge mahogany and glass doors that open up to the large lanai. Yet it is very comfortable. We built and furnished it for durability, so no one has to worry about anything.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We are still talking about the great time we had.
The house worked well for our group of 7 adults, 2 kids and a baby. 3 master suites and walking distance to the beach were the selling points. The big table on the lanai was perfect for family meals, as we only ate out once. The kitchen had everything we needed too.
With kids, it was great to have the beach just a couple blocks down. We could go swim & play & get back for lunch without loading up the car. We enjoyed the quiet residential setting as well, and all the little extras the house had topped it all off for a great stay.

Very nice house in a great location
We really enjoyed the week that we stayed in the Aloha house. There were nine of us and we spent 7 nights. Everyone had a bed, Every night we went to sleep to the sound of the ocean. Like many Hawaiian homes, there is breeze blowing through the house to keep you cool. This also means that sound travels well. My 90-year old mother, seem to negotiate the stairs fairly well, there are quite a few of them. As the years roll on, we will have to give stairs more consideration. Three of us slept downstairs in an apartment off the garage, while the other 6 were up stairs. The house and huge lanai is really designed for interaction and socializing. The outside shower was terrific when we came back from the beach, which is about a 2 minute walk in either direction. There is good snorkeling right there, even better about 4 miles down the road at the Place of Refuge, or at Capitan Cooks Monument, which is about 1 mile across the bay. We walked down to Capitan Cook's from the top of the hill, and found it to be a little over-used. We found many better places to snorkel during our stay. We highly recommend this place. We loved being out of the hustle of Kona, but close enough that we could enjoy the conveniences if we wanted them. It is quiet, peaceful and private. Mahalo for a great stay.
Great House, Great Amenities, Great Location!
Great house for a larger group. The floor plan is open and conducive for socializing together. The bedrooms are nice and have their own full bath (along with another 1/2 bath in the living room area). The best part is the huge wrap around lanai. Only downside on the living arrangements was that the mattresses were too soft for comfort.
The kitchen was well stocked with utensils and cooking pots, pans, etc.
The washer and dryer was nice to have access to. The outdoor shower (with hot and cold water) was a favorite and made clean-up coming back from the beach with lots of kids a lot easier. There is also a nice assortment of beach items (snorkeling gear, water shoes, etc) in the laundry room.
The house is located within easy walking distance to the beach--it was great!
Overall, definitely glad we stayed in the Aloha House!
Wonderful place to stay!
We had a great time. I baked my sons wedding cake at the house, so the kitchen is great. We are close to our favorite snorkeling place, Two Step, where I snorkeled with dolphins on 2 occasions, sea turtles almost everyday, and the last day, a very large reef shark. It's just beautiful here.
Nice location
Overall we're satisfied with this property as it has wonderful location for all activities in Kona. It's spacious with nice view. Unfortunately there's mosquito in one of the rooms upstairs that causes the guests in that room had problem to sleep well for the first night(they bought mosquito repellent spray later). I understand this might be caused by not closing the screen door properly by previous guests, but I really like this place and hope it can be better.
Fantastic house!
We really enjoyed our stay. Everyone had their own private zones, but the common areas were wonderful, too. Loved our meals on the covered lanai with views in all directions. The house stayed cool and comfortable night and day. Such a quick stroll to Manini beach and world class snorkeling. The warm outdoor shower was perfect for a post-snorkeling rinse-off. Wish we could have stayed longer! Would love to come back again!
It says 4 bedrooms. It's really 3 bedrooms and a loft with 2 twin beds that is open to the living area below.
Beautiful home, property and location.
This was our first trip to the Big Island. We are so happy that we picked the Aloha House to stay at. We have done several VRBO rental and this house was the best so far. If we ever go back to the Big Island we would stay here again. Awesome awesome awesome. Thank you.
