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.

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!

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

AWonderful home. Very family, kid friendly. They had everything we needed and more for a great stay. Poipu beach and park with a baby friendly beach is just a short walk away.

The pictures don’t do this place justice. The property is beautiful and the location is amazing. It’s a 5 min walk to Poipu Beach, one of the top beaches in the area. The host is so thorough and thinks of everything! It made our stay so much easier and enjoyable. I would recommend this place and stay here again.

We had the most incredible trip staying here. The house was beyond comfortable and perfectly located in a quiet spot near the beach. It was impeccably stocked with everything you could think of! We at all meals and spent hours upon hours on the amazing lanai. The owner was quick to respond and super helpful when we wanted to find a place nearby for extended family to stay. Can’t wait to come back 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!

The house was nearly perfect. I only say that because we did have temporary issues with the washer and dryer but that being said, Tina was perfect in immediately responding and arranging for a service call that day. The kitchen is nicely stocked with plenty of bakewares, small appliances and much more. Plenty of spices. Nice that bathroom showers were stocked with cleanser, shampoo and conditioner. Lots of beach equipment. The bunk beds upstairs are very solid. We used all of them and you didn’t notice when people above moved around or got down. Walk to the beach was easy. We would definitely come back here. The lanai was the favorite spot of the house. Unforgettable family vacation. Thanks so much Tina. Mahalo🌺

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!

This was our 4th trip to Kauai but our first time utilizing VRBO. This property exceeded expectations...an absolutely stunning property in a fabulous location. Everything we could imagine needing was available at this property. The volcanic rock outdoor shower in the master bath was to die for. And, our teens utilized the top floor which was perfect. From the gorgeous island decor, the comfy family seating in the open concept kitchen/living/outdoor space, to the hot tub, my only regret was that I had to leave this beautiful house and island!! We hope to stay here again and Tina and her husband were fabulous hosts! Mahalo!

What a beautiful home! Can’t say enough about Honu House. We had a wonderful stay. Everything is new and in great working order, the kitchen is fully stocked and that outdoor shower in the Master is incredible! Our adult children loved the upstairs room, nice to have bunk beds with queen size beds. Only drawback that was unavoidable was the road got washed out by the huge waves from Hurricane Darby so we couldn’t drive to/from the house for a few days until the road was repaired. Tina reached out right away to see if we needed anything. Luckily we had family staying in a house close by so we left the car there and walked back and forth. I would highly recommend Honu House!

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!

Incredible home for our vacation stay! Exactly what the pictures show. Beautiful home - well-equipped with everything you would need for a wonderful vacation - from kitchen appliances to beach accessories. Very comfortable home and the homeowner Tina French is kind and friendly. The home is one short block from the ocean - where you can see an amazing sunset every evening - and enjoy the turtles in the bay by day! Poipu Beach is an easy walk, about 5 minutes down the road. The home is equipped with beach towels, snorkel gear, boogie boards and beach chairs - as well as a wagon to put your gear in - and coolers too! We would highly recommend this wonderful, spacious and luxurious home that works well for families and/or friends. The lanai is lovely to relax on in the evenings - and the BBQ was put to good use, as well as the hot tub! Definitely five stars! Thank you, Tina and family!
