We had a wonderful stay at Cheryl's Aloha Beach House. The house is FULLY stocked with anything imaginable, including coolers, kayaks, snorkels, linens, and even coffee! We found the location to be a great launching point to go to Kona and Hilo. The house is situated near a historic fishing village and is on a lava field in a quiet community. Don't let the trip down from the highway intimidate you, just take it slow, the end result is so worth the few miles of curvy road. The view of the Pacific was amazing! Cheryl and Lynn were so accommodating and even worked with us so we could stay an extra night. They provided tips on where to go and helped orient us to the island. When we come back to the Big Island, we will definitely stay at the Aloha Beach House. We hope to be back soon.
