We loved everything about the house! We spent most of our time on the spacious lanai -- beautiful place to relax as the sun came up, enjoying an afternoon break, chilling before bed. Kitchen is well equipped and great for cooking at home. Seems like such a nice community. Very quick walk to the fabulous beach park. Would love to live here!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Aloha House. From kayaking with dolphins in the bay to watching sunsets on the point to being just minutes from our favorite snorkel spot, it was the perfect home base for our adventures.

Location is ideal for snorkeling and exploring Manini beach and Captain Cools Cove. Also closer to Kilauea volcano than Kona. 20-25 min drive to down town Kona. More tropical than the north end (Wiakoloa and Hapuna) with more bird and frog sounds at night.

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 wonderful getaway! The house and location was amazing. Fun tropical jungle sounds in the evening and Mangini was a dream. We did a mix of cooking and eating out. Be sure to try Rebel Kitchen and yes, the Lilikoi cheesecake at the coffee shack lives up to its hype. Not ready to go home;)

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.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Kirwan

Host profile image
Casey and Beth Kirwan, owners. Beth lived in Hawaii for some of grade school. We currently live in Hawaii part time and Sonoma County, CA part time. My father lives in Hawaii and is a coffee and mango farmer on the Big Island.

Why they chose this property

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 property 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.
