About this house rental
Aloha and welcome to Honu Hale by Gather, your Hawaiian home away from home. This luxury Kona vacation home is located in an upscale neighborhood just 2 miles away from Magic Sand Beach, Kahaluu Beach Park, and downtown Kona. Honu Hale has 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms and can accommodate up to 16 guests. If you crave round-the-clock ocean views, this home overlooks Lyman's Bay and Holualoa Bay so you’ll never have to miss a breathtaking sunset during your stay. Whether you’re relaxing on the lanai, soaking in the spa, or lounging poolside, you’ll marvel at the stunning views Kona Coast has to offer every single day.
This estate has high ceilings, with beautifully erected open beams and sight lines throughout. Grab all of your guests and melt into the plush sofas for multiple movie nights, where everyone can have a seat in front of the sleek, mounted TV.
If you need to work while you’re away, the private office with a half-bath is the ideal place to stay up-to-date with your projects. Free wifi and high-speed internet are also available for your convenience.
Honu Hale has a fully equipped kitchen to prepare your favorite meals and a poolside BBQ perfect for Hawaiian-inspired cuisine. There’s plenty of indoor dining space for your dinner parties, but who could say no to the outdoor dining area with the ocean as your backdrop? Once the final course has been enjoyed, your guests can enjoy hours of endless entertainment provided by the oversized chess set just off of the lanai.
The primary bedroom offers a California King-sized bed, lanai access, and an upgraded bathroom with dual vanities. Furnished with designer decor, an oversized jetted soaking tub, and a private seating area, this space is perfect for easing into your day with a cup of Kona coffee and your latest read or ending it with a relaxing bath. The other 4 guest bedrooms feature a variety of sleeping options from King beds, Twin beds, a Queen bed, and 2 Queen sleeper sofas. If you have little ones traveling, you don’t need to worry about their sleeping arrangements either. There’s a baby crib and 2 packs and plays available for you to use if you wish.
Honu Hale is close to the Keauhou shopping center where you will find grocery, drug stores, and a variety of dining locales. This Kona vacation rental is also close to downtown, where even more vibrant shopping and restaurant experiences are available. As a favored cruise ship destination, Kona offers every type of tour and Hawaiian adventure you can dream of, from surfing lessons to horseback riding and even helicopter tours of the volcanoes.
You’ll love exploring Kahaluu Beach Park and White Sand Beach Park during the day, where you can snorkel and discover extraordinary marine life right before your very eyes or go for long walks along the sandy shoreline. Honu Hale resides in a perfect location, within minutes of shopping, beaches, beach parks, historic sites, resorts, and all of the excitement that Kona has to offer.
***Please note this property is only equipped with A/C in the sleeping areas.***

The location and house were amazing. Better than I even expected. We had 14 people of all ages and everyone was comfortable. The communication and entire process was just outstanding. First class. I have rented a lot of large vacation homes, this was the best

A great Kona vacation. Lots of room beautiful views pool was great. Had an amazing family vacation. Plenty of beach /pool toys .steep driveway but worth it for unobstructed views. Only comment would be maybe full locking doors on bathrooms as 2 of the BR’s were shared and had a pocket door. All and all a perfect spot you will not regret

We had about 15 people staying at the home for the Queen Liliuokalani Outrigger Race. Everyone loved the place and I got lots of positive comment. It was great to relax by the pool and watch the sunset over the ocean.

We visited Kona for a Junior tennis tournament. The size and location of the property was perfect for our group. Having the pool/hot tub was great for the kids.

Wonderful stay for a family vacation would definitely recommend staying here to accommodate large family size.

We enjoyed our stay there, but we had one person that had issues with stairs but we made it work for this stay. No handicap access.

This was a well appointed home fit for a large family. There were plenty of towels, kitchen utensils, extra sheets, etc. The view from the pool is absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. The location allowed us to go just about anywhere of interest in this area within 15 minutes or so. The driveway incline is a little harrowing until you get used to it! We loved this place, but it could use a coat of paint and some replacement tiles around the pool. Elite Pacific managers were just wonderful! They were so quick to help when we needed them and happy to answer all my questions. We hope to be back someday!

We love our stay but noticed a few things that needed attention.
Tiles and paint need attention.
Garbage containers were full before we even used them for our trash that we collected.
There were no gas in the tank for the BBQ grill we had to have a family member bring along a tank for us.
Hot water supply was limited, we had to call maintenance to check problem.
Fireants in the bunkbed room, we purchased bug spray to get rid of problem from the children that was utilizing the room.
Blinds in master bedroom bathroom was broken and needs to be repaired.
Hot tub needs attention. We only used it once and noticed the residue that formed while we waited for it to heat up.
No Mop available for us to clean up any spills, so we had to use alot of paper towels.
Room next the garage had some roach problems.
Not enough cleaning supplies available although I know you offer cleaning services I am not the type to leave a household in a mess and I clean as I go. Even in vacay mode. 😊
My review is based on our stay, but the things I am writing about needs attention, where as others my make a huge deal about it. Again, we loved our stay but with the minor things that need attention would have made it more enjoyable without having to deal with them. Mahalo for your time and we look forward to maybe another property to stay in the near future because it was so easy to get a rental with your company.
Much Love and Aloha,

Only two complaints…..lack of pool lounge chairs, and general upgrades. Two gallons of paint and a few feet of floor trim. It’s just a rental after all!

Our first impression of the house was the VERY STEEP driveway . We had to rent 2 minivans as there were 9 of us . Every time up or down the front end would scrape . In addition , no fault of the owners , the city was digging up the street right by the driveway the 9 days we were there.
The home itself was very comfortable and spacious for all of us. The pool and hot tub was used daily. The pool guy came on Tuesdays which would of been nice to know ahead of time.
The pool area needs some repair , many tiles need replacing and the small area around the pool need to be mowed as it was very overgrown. Lots of stuff in the garage to borrow for the beach and there was a container with pool floats by the pool . A few things in the house needed to be updated/repaired ( toilet paper holders were loose on the walls, sink in half bathroom upstairs loose on wall ) and the jacuzzi tub in our master did not work , we did inform the rental company. Hopefully it will be fixed before the next renters. It was a good home in a good location for our family.

Large house to accommodate 17 people, few issues but we’re remedy quickly by management company. Driveway is steep but it’s worth it for the view

The best part of this house is the outdoor pool and seating area. However, the next-door neighbor screamed and cursed at us on the first morning when we were having a simple conversation (no music, and not during quiet hours). It made us very uncomfortable every time we sat outside or went in the pool, worried about what might happen. The downstairs master bedroom, bath and seating area are also very nice and updated. However, with the exception of the basement shower, the other bathrooms are in desperate need of renovation (and are tiny). The shower heads are plastic, the mirrors are stained, and they felt dirty (ant traps on sinks). The floors and blinds thoughout the bedrooms are falling apart. There is no central AC, only window units in the bedrooms, so the kitchen and living areas get very hot (uncomfortable for my elderly mother). There are also MANY small sets of stairs throughout the house, which made it dangerous for her to navigate. The worst part is that we had ants throughout the kitchen from the first day, and had to throw out almost all of our fruit and cereal (despite trying to leave as little on the counter as possible). The bread even had to be put in the fridge, and clearly management was aware of the problem, given the signs and ant traps throughout the house, yet they didn't even have plastic containers to seal cereal or bread in. There were also several roaches flying around. We never had any problems on Oahu or Kauai with ants. Lastly, the dishwasher wasn't working properly so we couldn't even sanitize our dishes (and the ants were crawling throughout the dishwasher as well). The location is great, but house needs some TLC. Also, be aware that one of the rooms with a king bed can only be accessed from outside or by going through another bedroom and bathroom, which was somewhat inconvenient.
