About this house rental
Welcome to the most peaceful house in Hawaii. Aolani House is a sanctuary for relaxation. Nestled among the coffee farms of Holualoa, our home is the perfect place to recharge from the busy world we live in.
Please note: We abide by the strict sound ordinance set forth by Hawaii County and STVR permits. If you are looking for more of a party atmosphere, we would be happy to help you find an alternative accommodation.
Recently ranked #1 in Conde Nast Traveler: "The Best Airbnbs in Hawaii," our resort-style home will have you relaxing the moment you step through its doors to expansive 180-degree ocean views. Our house was built by the same builders as the Four Seasons here on the Big Island. It is nestled right behind 5 acres of Kona Coffee & MacNut farms for ultimate privacy. Our private & heated saltwater infinity pool and spa are ideal for watching the sunset and star gazing. @AOLANIHOUSE

The living room also features an 80-inch Ultra 4-k Sony TV with Sonos throughout.
Aolani House's expansive rear terrace overlooks Kona Coffee and Macnut Farms acres for unobstructed 180-degree ocean and sunset views. You'll enjoy indoor/outdoor living with Fleetwood pocket doors that disappear, creating an entertainer's dream space. Spend days floating in the saltwater infinity pool and evenings soaking in the spa under the stars. Refresh yourself with our orchid embellished outdoor shower and be ready to enjoy Hawaii's most unique island.
The fully stocked professional-style kitchen features unique granite counters, African mahogany kitchen cabinets, and high-end appliances, including a WOLF range and wine fridge. The dining table seats 12, with four additional stools at the kitchen bar. The dining room is situated on the covered lanai by the pool for optimal sunset views while dining.

If you are traveling with children, we do require you to keep a close eye on them at all times, and they are never left unattended. Our pool does not have a gate or security monitoring system, so it is of utmost importance that children are supervised. We are happy to provide flexible sleeping arrangements for additional children on your reservation. Please get in touch with our host with any questions.
Need baby gear during your stay? Inquire how to reserve all the baby equipment you need to make your stay feel more like home.

We spent a week here in August 2023 with a group of eight. The house is exactly as depicted in the photos. It is beautiful, well appointed and included all necessities from kitchen to bath to beach.
The layout worked well with each bedroom having its own private bath & shower. All bedrooms included king size bed for two, no sleeping on foldouts or futons here. There are two primary structures; the main house and a breezeway attached two-story building that included one of the four bedrooms up top, with its own balcony, and a first floor workout/bonus space. There is a third structure on the property a separate cottage also available for rent. The cottage was empty during our stay but I would imagine voices from the back deck would be noticeable.
While the home is beautifully constructed and furnished we spent almost all of our time on the back deck and pool area. The view and space are stunning.
This house is located about 30 minutes south of the KOA airport in a well established up-hill neighborhood. This is not a walkable neighborhood nor is there anything nearby you would want to walk to. That said, this house and grounds are the attraction.
Note Google Maps will point you to the neighbor's house just to the south. The Aolani House entrance is two driveways north and covered by tree foliage in satellite images. Directions provided by property manager were spot-on.

We loved everything about the property, felt like we were staying at a resort. Property managers were always available and quick to reply. Would highly recommend staying at the Aolani house, we can’t wait to return!

As the pics show, the property is absolutely beautiful and the views are unmatched! The indoor/outdoor living of the home is so peaceful. The house is well appointed with all the things you need to settle in for a wonderful vacation. From the serene Infiniti pool to the outdoor shower to the Jura espresso machine and the Peloton bike, the amenities are top notch. The art work adorning the house adds to the luxe feeling of the overall property. There is also a full supply of beach chairs and toys to make the trips to the beach easy. The property manager, Heather, was very helpful and quick to respond. Her recommendations for food and activities were fantastic! The following information is not a review but info about the property I would have found helpful. The main house unit has 2 bedrooms inside, the master suite upstairs and another en suite bedroom down stairs. There is another bedroom which is a part of the main building, but you do have to walk outside to enter into that bedroom. The home is meant to be indoor/outdoor living and this is not really a big issue. However, if you have young kids, this might be important information. There is also a separate building with another master suite and balcony upstairs and the office/gym downstairs. This property was amazing.

We were a family of 6 adults staying at the Aolina House. The house accommodated us well. The Aolina has no AC, but it was comfortable with the windows and doors open 24/7. The kitchen is well stocked with cookery for preparing meals. We enjoyed the view and sunsets from the infinity pool and outdoor dining area. The location worked great for us as a central hub for hiking, fishing and snorkeling.

Loved it - already thinking about when we can return. The reviews that state you’ll never want to leave are 100% true.

My family of 7 stayed here and could not have been happier ! The house is beautiful and has everything you need for a relaxing vacation. Beds were comfortable, living room couch is like sitting on a cloud, kitchen has quality cookware, appliances, spices and bakeware The bathrooms were stocked with toiletries and the outdoor grill area has everything you need to cookout. The large seating area on the lanai is a perfect place to watch birds playing at the edge of the infinity pool and see the most stunning sunsets overlooking the ocean. The view is breathtaking . Words can not do it justice. Truly paradise. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home.

Our group of 8 vacationed at the Aolani house for 8 days and truly had the best experience of a lifetime. The house is everything like the photos and even more breathtaking in person. Heather and her team were attentive and extremely responsive and helpful with arranging our excursions. We highly recommend booking Chef Justin through Heather. That was the highlight of everyone’s trip! You know you booked the best place in paradise when you were looking forward to going back to the Aolani House after every excursion! I cannot say enough great things about our stay… 11/10 recommend anyone thinking about staying at the Aolani House. You will want to return even before you leave !

Our adult family of 7 had a wonderful stay here. The house is beautiful and extremely well equipped. Kudos to private chef Martha Brahm and her son Matthew for giving us a buffet of deliciousness. We hated to miss the sunsets, so we ate dinner here most nights.
This is a very special place.

We visit Hawaii 2 to 3 times a year and this is just an amazing home. Our third trip to Aolani House, and if anything, the upgrades to the house (including the extra bedroom) have only made everything more perfect. The views from the living room, deck, pool kitchen are just ridiculous. I ended up buying a peloton after I returned home because of the new gym area (you should really get a commission from them Heather!). Just a wonderful home in our favorite area of the big island.

This property is exquisite! We all had an amazing time in this true paradise. The sunsets were spectacular. The location divine. The music app stellar. Great kitchen for cooking. Fabulous place for hanging out and chilling. We will definitely come back again!!!

Great house with beautiful open spaces, and wonderful wooden flooring everywhere. Slightly smaller than expected from photos, but no issue there if doors and windows are open (they were 100% of the time). Well equipped kitchen. Very helpful hosts.

Heather, who is stellar and amazing, met us at the property. She opened the doors and the view was so spectacular, I was brought to tears. How grateful and lucky to have stayed at such a special place.
In addition to the view, the amenities are wonderful. We were set up for pool time, snorkeling, beach towels, chairs, yoga mats.. AND THE PELOTON WAS DELIVERED when we got there - which made it all the better.
Thank you Heather and the Aolani House for making our first plane trip in close to 2 years so spectacular. Can't wait to come back!
