Beautiful

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.

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.

Absolute paradise

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!

Oasis at the Ocean

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.

What a lovely gift

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

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...

Nice place right on the cove

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.

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.

An old friend

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!

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.

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.

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!!

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.

Kona perfect

The aloha house was provided a lovely adult retreat. Lived on the deck from morning coffee til the last man standing. We chose Kona because we knew the island and the location was ideal for our snorkeling passion. Remote was exactly what we wanted (no busy lobbies, hectic restaurants or traffic) while still easy to go on day trips and finding local treasures like the farmers market and the honey farm. Mahalo.

Coming 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.

Nice getaway!

Our family of four and grandparents loved the Aloha House! The Aloha House is adjacent to some of the best snorkeling in all of Hawaii - we saw turtles, dolphins, etc. It is a close drive to some famous surf spots too and it just happened to be breaking right near the house for the time we were there (serious surf), which is rare, it is usually a really calm water area for snorkeling. The negative things from some of the other reviews were characteristics that we really appreciated... We thought it was nice to be removed from the main tourist areas yet still be a short drive away from them and conveniences. There were a few bugs, but, c'mon, you are in Hawaii and there are bugs in Hawaii! Don't forget to take the neat honey bee tour just up the road. This place is for people who want a local taste of Hawaii. You might as well go to Palm Springs if you stay at one of the big resorts up the coast.

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.
