Great place to stay for a relaxing and low key vacation for family. 1 minute walk to great snorkeling.
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.
Comfortable home away from home for a family trip! Well stocked kitchen and lovely lanai. Great location for snorkeling in the bay. Highly recommend!
Perfect for our family stay. Fully equipped beautiful home. Relaxing, bird watching and family board games on the lanai. Snorkeling at gorgeous Manini Beach. Kayaking across Captain Cook Inlet.All in a secluded neighborhood far from the maddening crowds. The whole family loved the Aloha House!

We wanted a very natural location and to get the real island feel. We had a lovely stay in the Big Island of Hawaii here. Thank you! Mahalo
This place has everything you need. Listening to the ocean and kokis at night perfect! Short walk to manini and short drive to 2 step for amazing snorkeling. The house is beautiful and the wrap around deck is great.
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.
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
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!
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🌈
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...
Lovely place with many thoughtful touches. The view of the bay cliffs are spectacular! The owner and her sister couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. We had a fabulous time, and we highly recommend a stay here!
This house and neighborhood offer the perfect opportunity to enjoys the relaxed atmosphere of Hawai’i. The location is great for a quick jump in the ocean, kayaking, snorkeling, and swimming with the manta rays.
wonderful deck where our group spent most of the time outside of cooking and sleeping. 100 yards to snorkeling and kayaking. away from all the tourists. more of the local vibe.
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.
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.
Loved the area and the outdoor space. Living room furniture uncomfortable as were the loft beds. Wendy was very responsive to any problems with the unit and we enjoyed our stay.
We've stayed at the Aloha House before, so it was a bit like meeting an old friend. Thanks to Covid though, it's been 10 years since we last stayed! Still one of the best rentals in Napoopoo without a doubt. Recommended!
