@aolanihouse

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

**Our property is incredibly unique and tropical. Authentic Hawaii living, our property hosts the occasional tropical visitor. You could come across chickens, pheasants, roosters, and coqui frogs during your stay. Although we maintain our property with pest control, we ask that our guests do their part by keeping the house crumb-free. Although there is no AC in the main house (like most of Hawaii), it isn't needed. Our higher elevation and place on the mountain provide refreshing cross breezes 24 hours a day. You might even want to wear a sweater in the evening.

**Our pool, (UNLIKE most of Hawaii) IS HEATED! The daily rate is $120 per day and is only billed to you upon request. Should you like to have the pool heated during your stay, please give advance notice upon arrival. We charge this fee to conserve energy for unnecessary heating. Resources are extremely limited and costly on the Big Island; this fee helps our guests be conscious of their energy consumption.

**If your stay is ten days or longer, we will require a mid-week clean. The fee for this is $185. The same cost will be added to your checkout cleaning if you decline the mid-stay cleaning.

**Traveling with Little Ones? No Problem. However, please note that our home and property are not childproofed. 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.

**We do not allow private parties or Weddings.
Please note: Staying in this property means you agree to abide by strict sound ordinances set forth by Hawaii County and our STVR permits. For the safety of our guests and home, outside vendors WITHOUT prior permission from Hawaii Luxe Travel, are not permitted on property at any time.

If noise ordinance rules are not adhered to, you will forfeit the remaining nights of your stay with no reimbursement.

** Please consider our check-in/departure times when booking your stay. Our check-in time is 4 pm, and checkout is 11 am. We will do our best to accommodate early arrivals and late checkout times upon request and availability, but please note that it is never a guarantee and will be subject to change. Pending availability, we honor an hour's grace period at checkout until noon at no additional charge. Should you wish to extend your checkout time past noon, you have the option for a $475 half-day rate up until 8 pm the evening of your checkout OR $75 per hour afternoon. The same goes for early arrival. (again, pending availability)

Java is the juice that powers Holualoa, the tiny village and art enclave in the heart of Kona coffee country. Holualoa is a great place to taste the rich flavors of 100% pure Kona coffee, a rare commodity exclusively grown in north and south Kona. Many great restaurants are within just a few miles, such as Rebel Kitchen, Magics Grill, and Kaya's Coffee.

The high elevation, constant cloud coverage, and rich volcanic soil in the upland slopes of Kona, Holualoa, and Kealakekua create an ideal environment for harvesting the unique Kona coffee bean. There are roughly 600 coffee farms in the Kona area, and many offer tours to the public. Visit Holualoa's thriving coffee orchards and learn about the meticulous harvesting process. Then explore the coffee mill and see how the beans are processed. As you finish your tour, sip a freshly brewed cup for yourself and experience the rich aroma and flavor that makes 100% Kona coffee so highly valued.

Tucked amid the upland farms on the slopes of dormant Hualalai Volcano between Kailua-Kona and Keauhou, Holualoa has also become art central for the Kona and the Kohala Coast resort areas. Discover local artwork, including paintings, ceramic sculptures, and handcrafted woodwork. To experience the best of both worlds, visit during the annual Holualoa Village Coffee & Art Stroll in November. Taste exotic Kona coffee blends while shopping for handcrafted goods and meeting local farmers and artists. Then make room in your suitcase to take home a bag of Holualoa's best beans.

Just a short 7-minute drive from Aolani House, Holualoa is also a vibrant town with constant celebrations and lively community events for whatever occasion you can imagine. One event that showcases Holualoa's culture is the First Friday After Dark, including art, music, food, and cultural activities to celebrate regularly. This occurs on the first Friday evening of every month. The Coffee and Art Stroll is the town's annual Kona coffee and local art celebration in the fall. The galleries along Mamalahoa Highway, the main road through town, contain fine art, including handmade woodwork and jewelry, sculptures, and posters. Standouts include Dovetail Gallery, Studio 7 Fine Arts, and Glyph Art Gallery. The famous and unique Holualoa Ukulele Gallery has stunning examples of Hawaii's four-stringed instruments, which great ukulele makers create. The visitors can play a few bars, chat with the owner, and even participate in a ukulele–building workshop.

Fun fact: Holualoa came from the ancient Hawaiian practice of sledding the long (loa) mountain slopes with wooden sleds (holua).
