The home features four bedrooms - two with queen beds, one with a king, and one with three twins (two can be joined to form a king).

Aloha Honu Hale is in a gated and very exclusive private street that runs along side the world famous turtle bay at Honokeana Cove. Note, this is an older, architect designed, home with has frequent guests. It thus has some wear in the interior and is impacted on the exterior by being right on the side of the bay where it is exposed to high wind and rain. The house is maintained on a regular basis, but the price (half that of nearby similar sized homes) reflects that this house, while beautiful and with a stunning view, is and older property that is not pristine.

Listing states the property is not pristine, not only is it not pristine it is in a state of disrepair and in need of maintenance. The listing photos are either very old or photoshopped. The host will respond that the rent is highly discounted to account for the property condition however I would not stay here for free. We paid for 6 nights but left after the first night when we found dying cockroaches in the kitchen in the morning. On the day of arrival we were notified the hot tub was not functional and only two of the four parking spaces were available. Our rented SUV barely fit in the 2 parking spaces. The garage door was bashed in with a plywood patch. A large mass of bird droppings were on the main walkway we had to dodge this with our luggage. We reported this day one and it was not remedied. The kitchen cabinets have permanent stains and need to be refinished. The deck wood railing is dry and cracking. The exterior doors in the bedrooms are not functional. The were several other problems. We informed the host we were vacating the property on day 2 he refused any refund.
This property might be ok for fraternity brothers at a bachelor party but not acceptable for a family with guests.

The property was basically as pictured and described. It was perfect for my family of 5 adults and 3 grandchildren. The grandkids ages 12-13 had the loft, with 3 beds, which gave them some separation from adults. The location was great for snorkeling and beach going.

I just want to say thank you for an absolutely beautiful property and everything was spot on with how it’s described. I will most definitely be back to this location. The cove was mesmerizing and so peaceful. Everyone complimented the entire house and the view. There is nothing worth complaining about when you stay here. From setting up the stay all the way until we checked out all I can say is THANK YOU for the best vacation ever.

The property is located in a beautiful little cove and quite neighborhood. It was so neat to wake up and watch the turtles every morning. By far the best part I will miss.
The home is just in need of some general maintenance and care. Issues that arose were handled, but an inconvenience with 8 people staying. I believe for the price per evening we expected a little more.
Overall we had a great time in Maui, and look forward to our return.

It was an awesome place for our girls trip of 7 people! It was a bit warm in the two bedrooms without air conditioning but we managed with plenty of fans! Our favorite spot was the second floor open lanai! Turtles in the cove beneath the house all the time- absolutely stunning view and activity with snorkelers and turtles every day! Beautiful, beautiful home for a group, especially for the price but it does need some upkeep on the exterior wood and windows. No regrets- great trip!

Our stay was wonderful for our large group of family. We had plenty of space, supplies from a well stocked kitchen to snorkel and beach gear. We loved the views of the honu swimming and we swam in the cove often with them. When the internet was done for most of the stay, the manager and owners continued to work on the problem. As for critters inside, be aware that this is daily and more than a few. Keep the windows without screens shut tightly and most outside lights off at night. Overall this was a wonderful place with magnificent views, privacy and space for a once in a lifetime vacation.

The house is on a beautiful cove. The snorkelling was amazing. Turtles and fish were everywhere. We also could see the whales and dolphins from the outside balcony. We were a party of 8 adults. Lots of room. As described the home is older and dated but we saw through that. It is a tropical climate so expect the occasional “bug” or two. The kitchen is equipped with everything you may need. The views are beautiful. The access to the cove is a short walk. It is close to grocery store and other retail stores. There is a local Farmers market Wednesday and Saturday mornings. The property manager is available at a moments notice. It is a gated area so was quiet. We did many activities so be sure to plan as it is a drive to the other end of the island. Early mornings are usually not so busy. We had surfers in the group so they drove around quite a bit to find the good spots. There is no central air but the bedroom portable was sufficient. We did keep the windows open and the breeze was beautiful. We would not hesitate to stay again but remember its well lived in. The price is extremely reasonable for what you are getting.

The location was perfect. The nearby beaches were perfect. The snorkeling was perfect. The communication with the property manager was perfect. Everything about this visit was close to flawless.
We had a group of eight adults (four couples) and the home was more than comfortable for the entire crew. The laughs, the games we played and the "ohana" permeated throughout the week.
As past reviewers have noted, yes, the home is in need of some TLC. But if you can tolerate a few aesthetic issues and remind yourself you are in a warm, tropic environment, maybe you can look past them as we did.
For those who are a tad less permissive, expect to see some bumps and bruises throughout and you won't be put-off. For example, the stove is a bit temperamental, trim pieces are coming loose, there is water damage on many of the windows and patio doors, and the washing machine may "eat" small garments. Also note that Honokeana Bay is not accessible from the property as we originally thought, as one needs to exit the front gate, walk a half block down the road and then can access the cove from the shore opposite the home. But I must say it is worth the five-minute trek as we never saw so many sea turtles in our lives! Honokeana Bay is literally teaming with them. Also, there was plenty of snorkel gear, beach chairs, and countless beach towels for guests. The only thing we needed were fins, which I rented at Boss Frogs (in the strip mall nearby) for ten bucks a week.
Speaking of the strip mall nearby, don't look past Maui Tacos. So so good!
Overall, Honu Hale was well worth the visit and we'd likely return. Thank you to the team, specifically Christin who seems to "live aloha" every day. Much mahalo.
