Amazing Views of the Bay and Ocean, Steps to Beach

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!

A lovely place to stay. Going to miss our stay at the Aloha House! We will be back!

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.

Great to walk to kayak rentals on the captain cook cove. House was nice for the family. Huge wrap around deck was perfect for coffee and breakfast. Some things didn’t work during our stay but discussed with owner and she’ll be taking care of things.

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!!

Good location

If you want to truly experience Hawaii this is the place!!! If you love nature, swimming , snorkeling, then you found Paradise!! It was the perfect location to get around the whole island. My wife and 3 kids loved the accommodations and area.

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.

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.

Absolutely amazing. We will be back for sure to visit again!

We had a great time. The house is wonderful

Dialed. Walk to the ocean in minutes. Hang out on the wrap around lanai. Space for everyone.

Excellent location, beautiful and clean property. Very spacious and the full kitchen/bbq was great.

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;)

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.

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.

I love the location of this property with kayaking and swimming/snorkeling at Manini beach just steps away…doesn’t get any better than that.

good location

We loved our stay at the Aloha house! It has a great open air vibe and a well-stocked kitchen. Queen beds were comfy with high quality linens. A few (small) cons: no beach chairs for renter use, the outside shower was pretty much open to the very uncrowded street and the living room furniture was far from comfortable. These were small inconveniences during an overall excellent stay. 2 min walk to the beach, fall asleep to the ocean waves and island frogs, and sit on the lainai and simply relax! Communication with the owner was quick and easy. We hope to be back soon with our whole family.

We loved staying at this house for the Ironman World Championship. While pretty far from the race, it was a quiet escape from the crowds. The house was great and had everything we needed. The nearby water was so fun to swim in and the views are 10/10.

Perfect Manini Beach stay. Plenty of towels & dishes. Clear instructions & available owner. Extra beach supplies including fins, snorkels & coolers were much appreciated. Great views & nice place to cook, grill & enjoy meals.

Great location Breakfast, snorkel or kayak, lunch, nap, beach time, happy hour, dinner, hanging out on the lanai, sleep, repeat

The Aloha House was exactly as advertised and was perfect for our family of 5 to celebrate recent college graduations. The location made lazy days easy with a short walk to excellent snorkeling at Manini Beach, and was a good base to make day trips into Kona or to Volcanoes National Park. Another amazing snorkel spot was very close by at Two Step just for variety. The Aloha House was comfortable and the amenities were all our family needed. Highly recommend this location and home and owner was very responsive and helpful with all our questions!

We love the Kealakekua Bay area. The Aloha House was an absolutely perfect place to stay and enjoy all that the area has to offer. The house is gorgeous and the management team was a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend staying here! Be sure to say hi to Auntie Sandy's at Manini Beach. She is a local legend!!

This house is a gem. Great outdoor patio. Stocked laundry room with beach toys. Comfortable soft beds. Well stocked kitchen with cooking tools. Clean, working grill. Outdoor shower. Great snorkeling nearby. You wake up to roosters and birds (peaceful not annoying). The sound of waves crashing nearby to end the day. We enjoyed the board games a lot. We will be back for sure. At least to say hi to Auntie Sandy at manini beach (nearby). She’s informative, kind, and adorable.

location was amazing, walking distance to Captain Cook. We enjoyed spending time on the lanai.

Beautiful park
