Tina is such a great hostess! She is so easy to get hold of and made sure my family and I were comfortable during our stay at her home. The Honu House has every amenity you could ask for and the location is perfect. It is an amazing place to stay at and is truly is a home away from home!

The home is beautiful and allows for the lanai to open to the interior living area, creating the feel of a much larger space. The kitchen is well equipped and the lava shower off the master was quite popular with everyone. Located very near the ocean (about a block) and you could hear the waves at night. Definitely a place I will recommend to friends!

Fabulous Vacation Home near Poipu Beach

"Honu House" was simply great. The family enjoyed a special "March break" visiting the numerous beaches near Honu House and across the island of Kauai, and relaxing at the fabulous property during the evening.

Great Poipu Family House

We had a great trip for our entire family at the Honu House. It’s practically brand new, well laid out and has everything you need for a great stay at the beach. We plan on rebooking every time we come with kids/grandkids and friends.

Best House Rental EVER!

This is our second stay here and continues to be the best house rental we've ever stayed in. It is so well stocked for cooking big family meals, spending all the day at the beach, and lounging on the lanai. We were so comfortable and needed nothing - the house had it all!

The BEST Family Vacation Home

We had the most amazing time staying in the Honu House. Well named with the Poi Pu Beach and turtles just a short walk away. Thank you for sharing your beautiful vacation home with our family. We found everything we could want including the beach chairs and wagon to pull them in. Simply the best VRBO we have experienced. We hope to visit again to see all the things that we didn't have the time to fit into the schedule.

Simply Wonderful!

We recently stayed for the second time - both with family and friends. Honu House is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the Poipu beaches - just 1 block away. They provide everything needed for special cooking at home nights, to beach fun. We love the covered porch, outdoor showers and fully equipped kitchen. Can't say enough - the host is very responsive - thank you for another great stay!

Magical stay in the perfect Hawaii home!

This house has everything you would want for a perfect stay in Poipu paradise. We all loved the outdoor shower, hot tub, massive lanai for family dinners (grill Costco steaks), balcony lanai with swinging bench, short walk to the beach, great mix of fans and A/C, and overall charm of design and decor. Host Tina was extremely professional and accomodating. We hope we can make it back soon!

The perfect getaway

This was the third time my family stayed in this beautiful house and we enjoyed just as much as the previous 2 stays. The house is well appointed and has a perfect location. We love walking down to Poipu beach park in the morning to see the turtles, outdoor showers, the sounds of the beautiful tropical birds, and dinners outside on the lanai. We can't wait for our next trip!

Beautiful home with great location

This could not have been a better vacation. The owners were so kind and their communication was prompt and helpful. The home was perfect for our family. Every evening we would walk down to the beach and see the sea turtles. It was located closes to stores, shops, restaurants, and many wonderful sites. I can't wait to come back.

Great Place

Everything was as advertised. We had 8 adults/teens and it was very comfortable. Lots of area to relax, eat and socialize, as well as private areas to read or get away. I'm already looking at options to install an outside shower for back home...gotta try that out!

Great Family House for vacation

We loved the location of the house; walkable to a child friendly beach. House was great for our 2, 7, and 11 year olds with 4 adults. Laundry facilities were well utilized and the kids loved the out door shower. Not sure what happened to the ice maker several days after we arrived but we survived. Would stay here again if we had a large group.
