Paradise

2nd visit for us. This time we brought the mother in law and our niece. We had a great time and the home was a good home base for our adventures. Appreciate the added air conditioning in the bedrooms, it was hot for most of our stay. Appreciate the beach gear, coolers. Body boards and umbrellas the house has for use. I really appreciated Kevin helping us get the hot water turned back on, when the solar ran out of energy on a cloudy day.

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!

Outstanding

The location was perfect! Literally 3 minute walk to two beaches- boogie boards and snorkel gear provided. The house is beautiful, we especially enjoyed being able to open the huge glass doors to let the air breeze through the house. They thought of every detail. The outdoor shower is a nice touch. Lots of towels and beach towels. Washer and dryer both worked well. The key pad locks make it extremely convenient to head to the beach without worrying about the house key being stolen from our belongings while playing in the water. Feet wash stations at each door make it easy to keep the sand out of the house. Comfy couches and cute decor.I have a few minor things that future guests may want to note. The beds a very soft- which some people love!- but it left my body achy… The roosters are VERY loud in this location. Which may not be a problem for deep sleepers… we had to close the windows and turn the window A/C unit on, which was also very loud(maybe it needs to be serviced?) but the good thing was it drowned out the noise of the roosters! So it helped us sleep some.Overall this is an incredible house and location, fully equipped with everything you’ll need for an enjoyable stay.

Exceptional in every way!!!

This place is truly exceptional in every way possible. The location, the house, the outdoor shower, accessories that came with the rental and communication. We had the most amazing time at your place with our 19 and 17 year old kids. We felt at home and couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend our holiday. We will definitely be back. The house has everything you could want and the hosts have thought of everything. They were very accommodating also. The only bad part was having to leave!

Best location. Perfect Home

What a treat of a home to stay in! The location is superb, steps from Poipu and Brenneke. The home is also perfectly laid out with the best lanai and screened in porch upstairs. There is AC in both rooms but we never needed them in Dec as we just opened the windows (which all have intact screens!) to let the winds come in. The house is equipped with everything, especially in the garage - wagon, kids sand toys (be sure to look in the bins as we didn't see them and bought some!), chairs, umbrella, the best pop up tent, boogie boards, etc. Washer and dryer are wonderful and honestly the house is big and spacious. Outdoor shower was excellent and communication with owner was excellent. We tried to book for our next Christmas vacation but they were already booked since they are that popular )

Relax at Po’ipū

Really enjoyed our quiet (albeit for the Kaua’i roosters that you’ll get use to) stay here. Being able to open up the living room really made this stay - a great opportunity to host family dinners and drinks as well. If we look to stay in the area again, we’d definitely consider this home again.

About the host

Hosted by Kevin and Cathy Stange

Host profile image
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.
