Fabulous from top of the lanai morning coffee to warm outdoor shower after snorkeling. Don’t have leave this nestled-in paradise in order to have the best getaway ever! Super clean, full of every amenity, even those you didn’t know you needed. Hosts were awesome and location couldn’t be better. Cant wait to return to this slice of heaven🌈

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.

The Aloha house was very nice and the location was perfect. The kitchen was well equipped and Wendy kindly left some supplies for us. Wendy was very helpful and kind and we could contact her very easily (reply within half an hour). Would recommend to anyone and we will be returning if we stay in Captain Cook again! This was our second stay at the Aloha house it just gets better every time we return. Thank you Beth and Wendy your are the greatest.

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!!

Big Island authentic experience
This house has it all. You are literally going get what you paid for. This is not resort… it’s the Hawaiian experience!! 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. The house has a lot of snorkeling gear and other fun gear. Thank you for letting us stay at your beautiful house. We will be back again.

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.

Off The Beaten Path
Beautiful house off the beaten path and w/amazing access to Manini park & beach. We loved the house and setting, great for bird watchers, picnic lovers, and ocean watchers. Splendid sunsets w/in easy walking distance and the grounds are lush and feel mostly private. The surf was too high for beginner snorkelers, but nearby 2 step was perfect.

You can't beat this location
First the pros: This location simply cannot be beat. If you're looking for each beach access, snorkling Kealakekua Bay, and Kona vibes, this is the place for you! We rented sea kayaks right around the corner and had the best snorkeling experience right there. There's an outdoor shower so it's easy to rinse you and your equipment on the way back. The garden has fruit trees you can enjoy, and the house is spacious with two separate rooms each with their own bath, and an open loft (with a great view!) with twin beds that would be perfect for older kids. The laundry room has a bunch of equipment for snorkeling and beach toys which was great too. And we were also close to Two Step snorkeling, a honeybee apiary where we had a great tour, a chocolate farm, and many coffee farms. There's a nice grocery store only 15 minutes away, and some great casual eats nearby too. Traveling with our 18-month old meant we needed to come up with a creative solution to blocking access to the circular staircase, which is NBD and to-be-expected for anyone with a toddler, but the lanai has a built-in gate at the top of the steps which was helpful. There's no dishwasher so be prepared for doing lots of dishes and using lots and lots of water for that. There are only two complaints: first that there's a serious fungus gnat problem. Once the sun goes down and you turn on any lights they swarm towards the light. If you're preparing/enjoying food in the evening prepare for them in your food, drinks, on the counter, table, etc... If your bedside lamps are on they are right there in bed with you. And if you're changing your baby's diaper and need to turn on the light to see they will land all over her body prompting you to invent a fun song called, "covered in bugs" so you don't freak out too much. They won't bite you, they're just a nuisance. I don't know where they're coming from, but some screens aren't fully installed so there are large gaps. We kept *all* food in the fridge and a clean kitchen so any other bug encounters were thankfully limited and what you'd expect in a tropical climate. Second is that checkout is 11am, and as we're running around trying to make sure the laundry is started per their checkout instructions, that the trash is taken out, that the car is packed, the baby is organized, we haven't forgotten anything, etc.. the property manager shows up at 10:20am. Now we feel rushed in an already hectic moment and that we need to leave pronto. Not ideal.
