This house and location were perfect for our family. Short walk to the beach to see the turtles each day, and beautiful sunsets. The house worked great, and the outdoor covered space was fantastic. The house also had several beach chairs which was extremely helpful. Loved our stay!

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!

Amazing vacation

We stayed here with 6 adults and 2 kids. The house couldn't have been more perfect and far exceeded our expectation! Everything we needed was at our fingertips and the location to the beach was a perfect stroll for our group. The lanai is so comfortable and where we hung out when not at the beach. We can't wait to head back!

Our favorite lanai

Oh, the lanai--connected to the house via the accordion door that opens the whole wall for real indoor-outdoor living. It's perfect for even a large group, with a comfortable seating area and a table for all to gather. The large bunk beds in the upstairs room were great for our group. And we made good use of the air fryer to avoid a hot oven in the kitchen. We would like to stay at the Honu House on every Kauai trip!

Loved the Honu House!!

Our stay was incredible! The Honu house had everything we needed and more. The attention to detail and the location received 5 stars from our family. The communication with the owner was great. I’ve never stayed at a vacation rental that was as nice as this home. We can’t wait to come back and enjoy this home again. Next time we come it will be longer than 4 nights. Thanks again for letting us stay at your beautiful home. The Hanchett’s

Another wonderful stay

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.

Wonderful property in the heart of Kauai

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

Perfect

We spent a week at Honu House over spring break and "perfect" is the word that comes to mind. The property is beautiful, well appointed and was exactly as advertised. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you will need and more. The location is a 3 minute walk to Brennecke's Beach (300 m away). Poipu Beach and Shipwreck beach are also within walking distance. Chairs, boogie boards and umbrellas (as well as wagon for transport) are provided. We will definitely be looking to stay here again on next trip to Kauai

This place is amazing. We walked to the beach. The view from the driveway will blow you away. The sounds of the waves will nestle you to sleep. We ate on the patio. Magical. Do bring your eye patches if you want to sleep in. It gets bright. This place is huge! Owner is super sweet and accommodating! We will stay here again!

Paradise

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.

Incredible home just a block from the beach!

What a home! We've stayed in many VRBO's but this one stands out! It's very new, well thought out, beautifully decorated, and a short walk from a great beach! Loved the huge sliding door, the awesome deck, the hot tub, and the dual outdoor shower! The home is perfectly designed for a big family or even two smaller ones. Nice touches everywhere like bluetooth speakers, beach gear (including a wagon to get it to the beach) charging cubes in every room, and even shampoo and conditioner in the showers. What a great stay!!! Hated to leave and would come back in a heartbeat!

Absolutely exceptional!

We have stayed in a lot of vacation rentals over the years, and this is hands down the best! The location is perfect, the house is stunning and well laid out, and the kitchen is incredibly well stocked. The decor is lovely and the landscape is so beautiful and peaceful. We had fresh mangoes off the tree for breakfast each day and enjoyed the hot tub every night, We loved being able to open up the wall of windows onto the back porch….made it so nice for watching a game on the TV or cooking while being able to interact with whoever was relaxing on the covered lanai. The bunk room upstairs is awesome, and the kids loved taking naps on the sleeping porch too. You will love it here!

Better even than you imagined!

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!

About the host

Hosted by Tina French

We live on the Oregon Coast. 1999 was the first year we visited the beautiful island of Kauai and we have been back every year since. We knew this was the perfect place to build a second home for our family to enjoy.

Why they chose this property

We have looked for years for the perfect lot to build our dream Kauai home. This property had everything we wanted. Walking distance to the best beach on Kauai, mature fruit trees and enough room to build a home big enough for us to bring friends and family to. We spent two years designing this house with the builder and his wife. We could not be happier with the end product. It's perfect for us and we think you will be delighted as well.
