Fantastic home and experience!
We were 4 couples and we all enjoyed our stay at Honu Awa.
Would rebook this home again!
This was a beautiful, well kept and super clean home with an amazing view!
We absolutely loved this property and location! Already making plans to return.
A group of 8 stayed for 4 nights on the property and were very comfortable. The household amenities were plentiful, especially in the well-stocked kitchen. The views were spectacular, especially sunrise and sunset. The only note would be the difference in the level of the remodel of the pool bedroom and bathroom was not obvious in the photos or communication with team. Otherwise the concierge team was stellar!
The home was beautiful and the views were stunning. The home is located in a lovely neighborhood within walking distance to Foodland grocery store, shops and restaurants (about a 25 minute walk or short drive). We hiked down to the beach via a trail in the neighborhood and we had the beach to ourselves. Yen was a wonderful host and was very helpful and communicative. We appreciated all the small details - they really thought of everything. Highly recommend this home and I hope to return in the future!
We stayed at Honu Away with a group of friends and had an absolutely amazing time. The property is just as advertised - very clean, spacious, and bright with exquisite views. Yen was extremely helpful and met our friends and was very responsive to any of our questions/requests. We would absolutely return to this delightful turtle cove!
Everything about this place was perfectly lovely. Location, House, Service, & communication. We came in feeling right at home. The photos don't do this place justice. We couldn't have been happier- and would have loved to stay longer. Thank you for the attention to details, and the wonderful hospitality! I will want to stay here again.
This home was absolutely beautiful, just as pictured. It was equipped with everything you could need from kitchen, beach, and pool gear to bathroom amenities. Yen and whole property management team were wonderful to work with. They were incredibly responsive, friendly, and accommodating. They truly made our arrival, stay, and departure so effortless and went above and beyond to assist with anything they could. I cannot recommend this home enough, we already cannot wait to return!
Amazing view. Nice and peaceful. We strongly recommend.
