We loved our stay at this charming beach house! It was perfect for our family. The outside shower was fantastic. Love seeing all the chickens and their baby chicks in the backyard. The location is perfect and close to everything. The upstairs screened in balcony was a great place to watch the beautiful Kauai sunsets. We will definitely stay here again.
2nd visit for us. This time we brought the mother in law and our niece. We had a great time and the home was a good home base for our adventures. Appreciate the added air conditioning in the bedrooms, it was hot for most of our stay. Appreciate the beach gear, coolers. Body boards and umbrellas the house has for use. I really appreciated Kevin helping us get the hot water turned back on, when the solar ran out of energy on a cloudy day.
We were so happy to return to Hale Honu after two years and it was just as wonderful as we remembered! We had the most amazing time. Everything was perfect - the house, the location, the weather. We cannot wait to return! Thank you Cathy and Kevin!
Everything about our stay was perfect! The owners were always responsive, helpful and solved/answered any issues. The cottage was well furnished with everything we needed to make a relaxing vacation and the location was wonderful.
The location was perfect! Literally 3 minute walk to two beaches- boogie boards and snorkel gear provided. The house is beautiful, we especially enjoyed being able to open the huge glass doors to let the air breeze through the house. They thought of every detail. The outdoor shower is a nice touch. Lots of towels and beach towels. Washer and dryer both worked well. The key pad locks make it extremely convenient to head to the beach without worrying about the house key being stolen from our belongings while playing in the water. Feet wash stations at each door make it easy to keep the sand out of the house. Comfy couches and cute decor.I have a few minor things that future guests may want to note. The beds a very soft- which some people love!- but it left my body achy⊠The roosters are VERY loud in this location. Which may not be a problem for deep sleepers⊠we had to close the windows and turn the window A/C unit on, which was also very loud(maybe it needs to be serviced?) but the good thing was it drowned out the noise of the roosters! So it helped us sleep some.Overall this is an incredible house and location, fully equipped with everything youâll need for an enjoyable stay.
This was our second stay in this home and it was perfect. The owners have done an amazing job making sure the house has everything you need from towels to sand toys
even down to all the kitchen utensils. We always feel at home her due to the wonderful attention to detail. Can't wait to come back next year.
The house is fantastic, lots of comfortable spaces to lounge inside and out. We especially enjoyed watching the sunset from the sleeping porch. Would gladly stay here again.
This place is truly exceptional in every way possible. The location, the house, the outdoor shower, accessories that came with the rental and communication. We had the most amazing time at your place with our 19 and 17 year old kids. We felt at home and couldnât have asked for a better place to spend our holiday. We will definitely be back. The house has everything you could want and the hosts have thought of everything. They were very accommodating also. The only bad part was having to leave!
This house was absolutely perfect! Exactly as described and pictured, great location, and plentiful amenities. Perfect for our family of four, walked to the beach every day, the wagon and chairs along with boogie boards were greatly appreciated. We would absolutely stay here again, thank you for sharing your home with us!
This is our fourth stay at Hale Honu and it continues to be our favorite place to stay in Poipu. Super relaxing. Has all the amenities. Great location. Never disappoints.
What a treat of a home to stay in! The location is superb, steps from Poipu and Brenneke. The home is also perfectly laid out with the best lanai and screened in porch upstairs. There is AC in both rooms but we never needed them in Dec as we just opened the windows (which all have intact screens!) to let the winds come in. The house is equipped with everything, especially in the garage - wagon, kids sand toys (be sure to look in the bins as we didn't see them and bought some!), chairs, umbrella, the best pop up tent, boogie boards, etc. Washer and dryer are wonderful and honestly the house is big and spacious. Outdoor shower was excellent and communication with owner was excellent. We tried to book for our next Christmas vacation but they were already booked since they are that popular )
This is our familyâs third return to Kauai and this home. It always provides us everything we need for a comfortable stay. Our hosts are communicative and the neighborhood in excellent location for all we desired to explore. Weâre looking forward to returning again soon. Mahalo!
Loved this place. The Lani makes the place huge and it comes with all the amenities/supplies you need including bikes, snorkel gear, umbrellas, lawn chairs, and even a nifty wagon to bring everything to the beach.
Property is just as advertised. Great location and the house has all the amenities we were looking for. Definitely recommend using the air conditioners at night or the roosters will wake you up early! We really enjoyed our stay.
Really enjoyed our quiet (albeit for the Kauaâi roosters that youâll get use to) stay here. Being able to open up the living room really made this stay - a great opportunity to host family dinners and drinks as well.
If we look to stay in the area again, weâd definitely consider this home again.
We loved the convenience of this beautiful home so close to the beach. We had our 19 month old Grandson & the baby items were perfect! The home is stocked with essentials and we loved the beach toys.
We live in Alaska and have been vacationing in Hawaii for 30 years. We realized early on that Kauai was the ideal place for us to come and enjoy the sun and ocean⊠and Poipu quickly became our family's favorite spot. After owning a condo here for many years we finally were able to find a piece of property close to the beach to build our dream family getaway-retirement home.
We were fortunate to find a builder that could build in details that give the feel of an old Hawaiian Plantation Cottage> our lot is on a quiet dead end street and set back form the road. The property overlooks a Sacred Hawaiian Village and is very secluded feeling but still with views of the sunset.
