We had two families stay 5 nights in this house. 2 couples with 2 kids each (total of 8). The upstairs bedroom has two sets of large bunk beds, each of which must’ve been at least a full sized bed. The kids loved having this space to themselves! The downstairs has 2 bedrooms with super cozy kings beds and the master bedroom even has an outdoor showers with 2 shower heads! This was a hit with the whole house. The kitchen is beautifully renovated, fully stocked, and had everything we needed, including seasoning. We really appreciated this since it allowed us to cook meals at home more often. The living room had very cozy couches and a big tv which was great for when we just wanted to relax. Best of all was the outside patio…we ate most of our meals out here and the kids loved the access to the back yard. The location is amazing and we walked to Poipu beach most days, which had sea turtles!!
Overall, I highly recommend this house for anyone but especially those with young kids. Both the house itself and the location is utterly amazing!! Tina, the host, was very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed to have an amazing vacation.

Honu House has it all! We were nervous about planning such a big trip but this home had everything we needed. With so many extras, we seemed to find something new every day. Our first night was welcomed by huge, comfortable beds- and we have very picky sleepers! The never-ending supply of fresh mangos was heavenly. Location couldn’t be topped with such a quick walk to beaches, but just enough distance and vegetation to feel privacy at home. There was plenty to do, even on lazy, no-agenda days. Our teens enjoyed finding lizards around the property, naming the chickens, talking to friends back home while hanging out on the swing bed, and of course the private hot tub. My senior had endless things to Instagram about like making collages with different flowers growing around the property, the artwork on the walls, or counting the variety of pineapple decorations in the house. There was no problem eating most of our meals at home in the well-organized, fully loaded kitchen, and most meals were eaten outside. The open floor concept really kept us connected. Family could be a part of the conversation whether they were relaxing on the lanai furniture, eating at the outdoor table, lounging on the swivel sofas, or cooking in the kitchen! What a wonderful place to vacation. Hope to return to this paradise when our next teen graduates!

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!

What a great place to spend a week with 4 other people. So close to the beach! The house had everything we needed as promised. LOVED the big glass door that opened up the whole living room to the lanai!

This home was absolutely everything we needed! Our group of 6 adults had enough space to spread out. The kitchen had all the equipment we could possibly need, there were plenty of blankets and towels, and we LOVED having the beautiful lanai to enjoy the weather! Some of the pictures really don’t do it justice - this is a stunning home! We especially loved the huge glass door that opens up for an open air feel. The host was awesome in communications too! We would absolutely stay here again.

This was our 3rd time staying at Honu House and it was wonderful as always. It’s the best rental property we have ever stayed at and we hope to be back for a 4th time. It’s well equipped, clean, and in a great location in Poipu. Tina is always quick to respond. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

"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.

After staying several wonderful days at the Grand Hyatt, which was lovely in it's own right, we were thrilled to spend the rest of our vacation at the Honu House. I cannot express enough how perfectly appointed this home is. I cannot think of a single thing that was missing or that we needed beyond what was provided. Everyone in my family slept comfortably and we all had enough space to spread out. My kids, 10 & 7, loved the bunk beds! I especially like the above and beyond touches such as the robes and plethora of beach gear provided. I am SO thankful there were water shoes, because you definitely need them at the rocky beach at Poipu. I don't know how we got so lucky, but there were shoes that fit all of us! We used the hot tub every night after a long day of hiking or boogie boarding. Oh, and being able to walk to both Brennecke and Poipu was perfect. All I can say is this home is amazing and if we ever return to Kauai this will be our homebase again.

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.

A big thanks to Tina for answering all my questions promptly. She is a fantastic host! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful home. (Our daughter and son-in-law honeymooned in Kauai 15 years ago so a celebration with the whole family this time.) We used the home as a base for adventure around Kauai. Your home had everything we could have thought of needing and the charging cubes were appreciated. We loved the location of the house walkable to the beach and with beach toys, chairs, and a wagon to haul everything to the beach.

This house was everything!! My family wanted to take a trip back to Poipu to celebrate a few meaningful dates and this house helped us do that & more. Everything is exactly as pictured & we are so happy Tina + family opened their home up to us.

Lovely home in a great Poipu location! We used the home as a base camp for adventure around Kauai as well as the place we can back to unwind after a full day. Well appointed home, had everything we could have thought of needing and the attention to details such as hooks everywhere for hanging items and the charging cubes were appreciated.

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.

Our family of 6 stayed at the Honu house in July of 2023 and I don’t even know where to start.
The home is immaculate, every detail thought through and stocked with more than you could ever need.
The “bunk room” upstairs with the full queen size beds top and bottom were perfect for all our boys and the outdoor master shower was a crowd favorite.
Tina was amazing and checked in on us with possible bad weather coming.
My whole family didn’t want to leave and can’t wait to go back , this one is a for sure for us to return asap.
I couldn’t ask for more in a place to stay and am so thankful it was available for use to experience.
Don’t think twice about it , this is the place you have been looking for

The home was very cozy and a great size for the six of us. The outdoor shower in the master bedroom was nice too. The only downside was the refrigerator dishwasher. These appliances did not work as they should have, so that was a bit of a disappointment (1st world problem)…overall very nice place to stay!
5.0
The property is a dream in every way. As my wife said, “it is the kind of place that makes you want to make your bed.” Just beautiful in every respect. The glass doors that open onto the lanai and yard create an indoor / outdoor feel that is quintessential Hawai’i. The kitchen comes fully accessorized for any kind of chef prep and you can entertain if that is your inclination. The outdoor shower in the master bath is also a uniquely fine experience. You will not be disappointed!

Grand babies, family and time spent. The kitchen is very well stocked. We cooked every meal breakfast, lunch and dinner at the house with exception of two I love the casual feeling of opening up the or the stacking door and letting the kids run in and out. it was wonderful. The linens are good quality and nice. The outdoor shower was probably the biggest excitement for that young and the old, I enjoyed that the air condition was in the bedrooms only so that you could open up the big stacking door. Thank you and we will see you in 2025.

This property was amazing. Perfect for a family trip. Great hangout area. Rooms are spacious. Small yard in the back. Shared with neighboring house to allow kids to run around and chase the baby chickens. Super close proximity to Shops in Poipu and short walk to Brenecke Beach.
Access to poipu athletic club (two min drive or fifteen min walk) with great gym, pool, tennis courts, etc.
If coming back to Kauai, will definitely book this place again

This beautiful house is in walking distance of Poipu Beach. The attention to detail is impressive. From the doors to the floors, everything was thought of. The kitchen is well stocked, clean, organized and modern. The living room is comfortable and opens up to a cozy lanai. The upstairs bedroom is so room with huge bunkbeds and a swing bed. The bathroom are gorgeous and the outdoor shower was so unique, it really sets it apart. The whole house was well stocked and we had a great time.

This property and its location are perfect. Works very well for family groups, there is plenty of space to spread out. Walkable to Poipu beach park and brenneckes even for a four year old. Great access to the green belt walking path. Gorgeous nature and sea life everywhere. The outdoor shower and hose out front are especially nice to get sand off after the beach. Lanai is just as wonderful as we remembered! Communication was good with host and the house was clean and well maintained. We would return a third time without hesitation.

I cannot say enough about the property, the owners and the island! It was magical from start to finish! Tina checked in by text when we arrived, and responded quickly to questions! The inside (and outside) of the house can best be described as “eye candy”! Everywhere inch was thoughtfully and decorated and well-supplied/stocked! We actually felt “cared for”! Stay here! It is worth every penny!!!

Thank you Tina for sharing you're wonderful home! You have graciously thought of everything. Our group of 6 had a wonderful time at your hale and thoroughly enjoyed the aloha spirit you extended us through such extra details as soft colorful blankets, beautifully scented rooms, colorful glassware and many, many other things. In our 30+ years of coming and renting on Kauai we have found a place that tops all the others...we will return!
