Great place for family and friends get together
Spent a week with extended family at Beth's place and had a wonderful stay. Beth's "use anything you can find" offer was great, we used some of the beach gear fro the laundry. The beautiful house is equipped with everthing you need to cook for a large group. The lanai/deck was gorgeous and we spent many hours there. House is two minutes walk from a seaside park, shaded by palm trees, beautiful spot for sunsets. The coast here is rocky, but there is a small inlet at the park where entry to the water is possible. The house is in a quiet seaside community, and we met a number of the local people. There are no groceries/restaurants/gas stations in the community, these are available about a 15 min drive away up and down a windy road from main highway, so a bit of planning required. Patz Pies for pizza is recommended.

great garden with birdlife
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.

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.

Kealakekua retreat
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.

About the host

Hosted by Beth Kirwan

Host profile image
Casey and Beth Kirwan, owners. Beth lived in Hawaii for some of grade school. We currently live in Hawaii part time and Sonoma County, CA part time. My father lives in Hawaii and is a coffee and mango farmer on the Big Island.

Why they chose this property

When we bought the property, it was all over grown with a rusty old car in the middle of the lot. We designed and built the Aloha House specifically as a vacation rental. We wanted to create a home to share that is comfortable for families to use as if it was their own.

What makes this property unique

The house is situated in a great little neighborhood. It is about a two minute walk to the Pacific Ocean (west of the house) and to Kealakekua Bay (North of the house). The location is a perfect home-base for exploring around the island.

The house is beautiful, with its huge mahogany and glass doors that open up to the large lanai. Yet it is very comfortable. We built and furnished it for durability, so no one has to worry about anything.
