A gorgeous and wonderfully quiet spot that lives up to its 10.0 rating. Exquisite ocean views. Friendly and beautifully organized. Just a 20-minute drive through bucolic ranch country from South Point, the southernmost point in the USA. We hope to come back soon.

The perfect getaway spot

Everything about the Aloha Green House blew us away. The unit itself is beautiful, roomy, well equipped and thoughtfully organized. The outdoor space is inviting and a perfect place to lounge or read or just contemplate the coastal view and quiet surroundings. The location is excellent for exploring — we especially loved the South Point area, and Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is an easy day trip from the Green House. Finally, Ruth, our host, was very proactive, clear and welcoming in her communications. This was our first time in Hawaii, and this place is on our list for a return visit.

The stay here was amazing! Peaceful, clean, tranquil, and excellent place for a get away! Parking couldn’t be better! And communication was point on! Very quick response. Family friendly, having limited toys available for young children, but enough to keep them busy, and the owners sanitize everything for you! I would definitely come back.

An amazing stay with my family!

My family stayed at 'The Aloha Green House' Retreat w/ Ocean Views! at of our recent vacation on the Big Island, and we had an amazing visit! The location is amazing—complete with beautiful views of the ocean—which was especially nice in the morning as we were getting started with our day. On a clear night, it would also be a fantastic spot to star gaze. The space is beautifully furnished, meticulously maintained, and had everything our family of four could have wanted or needed. We made great use of the beach towels, chairs, mat, and toys. There were also lawn games and toys, which we didn't really use, but it was nice to know that our host thought to provide them. The kitchen was very nicely stocked. So, overall it was a 5 star experience for our family and we would visit again in a heartbeat! I can envision that this would also be a great spot for a romantic getaway. Honestly, we were sad that we didn't get to spend as much time in the space as we would have liked. We would have loved to have had a "down day" to spend and just enjoy the space.

We wanted to be close to South Point and the green sand beach for a change his time on Hawaii, and this turned out to be the ideal staging location for seeing sights on the south side of the island. The listing was exactly as described, spotless clean, well appointed, and the owner provided a number of complimentary products. We felt like it could be our home. We would definitely book again if we wanted a location on the south side of the island!

This property and the host, Ruth, is the best VRBO we’ve stayed at. The location is rural, which is a plus for us. So quiet, peaceful and beautiful. The place is immaculate, so comfortable and she’s thought of everything to make our stay feel special. Its location to the green sand and black sand beaches, in addition to the national park and mountain cannot be beat. We loved it.

Ruth was the best host! Quick to give travel and trip tips to us and welcoming and quick responses. We had all we needed including extras in the house for us to use while there.

There was air conditioning but the positions of the windows and the night breeze made it unnecessary to use it. Had all the necessary kitchen stuff to prepare meals. Very easy to check in. Ruth was very quick to respond when we accidentally flipped the breaker. This place is kid friendly and safe as the glass table had protectors on the corners for the toddler. Well worth it!!

Great little spot!

We found the place because it was close to the venue of a wedding we were attending. It was super cute and spacious. We stayed with 3 kids and the beach chairs/toys were lovely to have. Everything at the property was well labeled and little bonus snacks and extra sunscreen was great. The property owner lives upstairs and is super responsive with any question or concern. She even sent us a little note when a large rainbow appeared over the ocean one day!

Perfect Hawi experience

The house and location were spectacular! It was comfortable, very spacious for 2 people. We felt we never had to leave. My husband spent hours sitting on the porch with an occasional stroll to visit the animals on the property. Each night we had dinner and cocktails on the porch watching the sunset. This is an unsoiled area of the big island and a nice break from the resorts in Kona.
