We loved this property! Plenty of room for everyone. House is well stocked with all the essentials. The beach towels and supplies were great. Wendy was always available for questions. Plenty of fans which were necessary. My son LOVED sleeping in the lanai bedroom.
We loved the upper deck. We watched the beautiful sunsets. The home is in a great location, close to everything. It was stocked with all the necessities. Communication was easy and they responded quickly. We loved the open floor plan. Our bed was so very comfortable. Thank you so much for letting us stay.
Great location, near excellent beaches and snorkeling areas, as well as wharfs for sportfishing, scuba and other activities. Very convenient for shopping (near to Costco, Walmart, Safeway, etc.). Host is extremely helpful and responsive. House has lots of space for family games and activities (we had 10, including young children) and the provided beach toys, chairs and snorkeling gear made beach time much easier. Would definitely stay again.
Great location and lots of space. Very clean and lots of amenities. Included beach necessities as well as snorkel gear that came in handy. Would stay again!

Thank you, Jan! You were a pleasure to host, and we would love to have you back at Hale Aloha Kona anytime!
My family was there to spread my husbands ashes, and this house made it possible for us all to stay in one place! The Kona Low storms had caused some issues with the internet, but the homeowner was quick to get the issue resolved for us. The only thing that was awkward was I was in the Ohana Bedroom, and my son and daughter in law were in the Makai bedroom, and for me to go upstairs in the morning, I had to pass through their room. I could go out and back in the front door without that, but that was awkward, also. The big added bonus was that there were turkeys that roam up and down the street and we thouroughly enjoyd watching them! It was all in all an excellent time had by all in the home!

Thank you, Kathy! We hope you had a therapeutic time with your family. We were honored our home could give your family a place to be together for such an important time.
We appreciate your patience with the internet issues from the Kona Low storms, and we’re glad we could get that fixed quickly for you.
For many families and groups traveling together, that layout can actually be a nice feature because it offers a bit of separation and privacy between the Ohana and main house, while still allowing a more direct interior connection when desired. We understand that depending on the group, it can feel a little awkward at times, and we appreciate you sharing that perspective.
And, we love that you enjoyed the neighborhood turkeys too — they definitely add a memorable Kona touch! We would love to have you back anytime.
The house is beautiful and spacious! The main floor with a gorgeous kitchen and dining room and living room is open and makes a great place for everyone to come together !
When anyone needs a break there are plenty of bedrooms, a rooftop deck ands a hot tub to which to escape for a bit.
The home came well supplied with kitchen supplies, beach items, towels, shampoo, soap etc.
The location is super convenient although you will need a car to get around.
Communication with host was excellent. Stop searching for your next VRBO,and book here !

About the host
Hosted by Wendy Horton
We live in California and love taking the opportunity to escape the busy Bay Area to enjoy the magical Big Island, where we were first married. We are thrilled to be hosting you! We recently purchased our home and are happy to be continuing to offer it as a legal STVR (short-term vacation rental) opportunity for others to escape to the Big Island - just as we love to do.
Why they chose this property
This Kailua-Kona neighborhood called to us as we explored vacation homes on the Island of Hawaii because of the spacious, open great room with vaulted ceilings, the gorgeous view from the rooftop deck, and the close proximity to downtown Kona with quick highway access.
What makes this property unique
Our Hale Aloha Kona is less than 5 minutes from downtown Kona, near the Queen Ka’ahumanu (Queen K) highway with access to all the island has to offer. With 4 beds/4 baths, a spacious, fully stocked and equipped kitchen, two great rooms with vaulted ceilings, and three decks, a large group of 10 guests can comfortably stay.
The reverse floor plan with living on the 2nd floor maximizes views and tradewinds to keep the home cool. Enjoy sunsets, watch holiday fireworks, or BBQ on the rooftop deck with beautiful 360° views of the ocean and mountains. Or, relax in the hot tub or do yoga to find your zen on one of our other decks.
