Suberb Stay at House of Turtle
My family of 8- our kids and their significant others range in age from 26-16 loved their time here. Everyone had a lot of room to congregate but also had some privacy. The house is the most well equipped home I’ve ever stayed in. The outside space is perfect with beautiful views of the mountains. The neighborhood is private and not crowded. Location is great. I would def recommend.

House of Turtles
It was a beautiful property and the pool got plenty of use however the kitchen had an infestation of cockroaches, even after they came and sprayed once. There seemed to be a lot of critters - either in the walls or above the ceiling that you could hear at nights. There was evidence of rat droppings in the media room where my grandson slept but never actually saw a rat! Apart from all that, it was a gorgeous house!

Gorgeous home - great for our group of 8
The House of the Turtle is a beautiful home in the Mauna Lani resort area. We were very pleased with the main living areas of the house. The kitchen is beautiful and is fully equipped with everything you could want. The living areas into the pool area also were very comfortable. The house has a multitude of sliding doors which makes for tremendous natural light throughout. The main bedroom was an awesome suite, and beautifully appointed. The other sleeping areas all have their own private entrances, and are very comfortable. The entryway and courtyard is also very nicely done, and is welcoming and pleasant. The entire house was very clean. Check in and out was well handled, and the property manager was very responsive to the few questions we had. All in all, it was a wonderful experience.
