We had two couples and enjoyed our stay at the cottage. The cottage was clean upon arrival and ready to enjoy. The outside lanais and upstairs screen porch are the best we experienced over previous Kauai visits in various condos and cottages. Location is excellent with easy access to all Poipu has to offer on the south shore. Plenty of chickens & charm. Thanks to the hosts for a memorable stay.
The house exceeded our expectations. The finishes and quality of the house are the nicest we have ever experienced in a rental property. The owners were quick to respond to messages and very friendly. We would absolutely recommend this to any family looking for a place in Poipu.
This property was incredible! Location is fantastic. Everything about this home was even better than expected. It felt very private. We loved this home and hope to return!!! Also added bonus: so many chairs, snorkels, and two bikes!
The house was spectacular and perfect and the hosts had provided everything we might need, including all provisions for a day at the beach. We enjoyed spending time on the lanai every day and really liked the glass doors that allowed an expansive indoor/outdoor living space. It was especially great when we spent a rainy morning in, enjoying the rain and playing games. The rain chains are beautiful. We were so grateful to share such a lovely space.
This place is a gem. We loved that it was well stocked with everything you need to go to the beach (wagon, toys, towels, chairs, snorkel gear, umbrella), and is a short 3-5 min walk from Poipu beach. We also enjoyed sitting on the lanai every night and our children loved to watch the roosters. The kitchen is also very well stocked with everything you need. We will definitely stay here again.
This place was clean and comfortable and great proximity to Poipu beach to see the turtles every day. Spent a lot of time on the lanai which was very private. Lots of roosters and chickens which you will find out are basically everywhere in Kauai and only added to the charm.
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.
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.
This house is perfectly located if you want to be at Poipu beach. The Lanai is outstanding. The kitchen is well equipped. The coffee pot could use an update. The furniture was comfortable both in and outside the house. The master shower was not user friendly. We all showered in the downstairs which was somewhat inconvenient. The host was exceptionally responsive to a minor house issue.
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!

About the host
Hosted by Kevin and Cathy Stange
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.
Why they chose this property
This location is steps away from Poipu Beach .where our kids and grand children can have a great time together.
What makes this property unique
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.
