My family and I loved staying at the coffee cottage at Aolani. When booking a place my mom and I were going back and forth between trying to find a condo on the beach or a secluded house in the rainforest. I'm so glad that we went with the Aolani House. It was a such a comfortable place to veg out and relax for several days. It offered the best of both worlds since it is a lot rainier up in Holualua, but then you drive 5 minutes to Magic Sands Beach and it's warm and sunny.
The house is exactly as described and you can tell the owners have spent a lot of time picking out every little detail. Heather, the property manager, is super friendly and helpful. She bought us a citronella candle to help manage the mosquitoes when we were sitting out on the back porch.
If you are looking for a great breakfast place definitely check out The Coffee Shack, which is about 15 minutes toward Captain Cook.
