We had a wonderful stay at this property! The kitchen was extremely well stocked with everything we needed, which made cooking and dining in so easy. The host was very responsive and attentive, and communication throughout our stay was excellent. The pool was absolutely beautiful and a highlight for our group, especially with the pool toys provided. Beach access was convenient and made it easy to enjoy the ocean whenever we wanted. One thing to note is that all bedrooms except the master are accessed through the outdoor courtyard, which worked for us. Overall, a fantastic place to stay and we would happily return!

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.

Beautiful home near Mauna Lani

We rented this house for a family vacation, and it was perfect for that. Home is spacious, giving everyone enough privacy. The infinity pool is beautiful and was a highlight. The kitchen was incredibly well stocked with every dish and tool imaginable. I would have given it 5 stars but for a few disappointments - the larger of the two ovens did not work, the ice maker needed work, the internet was quite weak, and some of the furniture was in need of refurbishment. Despite these minor glitches, we enjoyed the home and recommend it.

Exceeded Expectations

This house was perfect for our week in Hawaii! It is beautiful, spacious, and private. All of the amenities were fully functional and when minor issues arose the property manager, Kathleen, was extremely responsive and quick. We had two kiddos with us and there was space enough for them to nap away from all of the noise of the adults without a problem. The beach coin access alone is worth it if you have small kids - it’s a sheltered cove that’s shallow and very kid friendly. For four couples plus 2 kids we all felt like we had our own space and each of the ensuites worked well. I highly recommend this place.

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.

Mid summer visit this lovely home marred by inadequate air conditioning

House of the Turtle is a well appointed and well furnished home that is perfect for families and couples traveling together, HOWEVER, our high season stay in 95 degree July proved difficult as the AC for the master bedroom also serves two of the other primary bedrooms and proved to be not up to the task, The circuit breaker tripped repeatedly and even when the system worked the temperature rarely if ever got close to the set temperature. This was especially true in the two bedrooms other than the master, one of which was basically uninhabitable forcing one member of our party to sleep on the couch. This is not what we paid for and our request for a partial refund of our payment was met with a token response despite the fact that the owner and the property manager knew of this problem before we arrived (and did not disclose it)- in fact they have plans to install dedicated AC units for the two bedrooms that were problematic. A bit too late for us. I would NOT stay at this home again until the AC system is fixed.

Wonderful family spot!

We had a wonderful two weeks here! We were a party of 10, with my two small children, so the housing layout was perfect. My hubby and I were in the house with the kids (kids in media room), and the rest of the family were in the other rooms and weren't woken by toddlers. The views were amazing, the pool and hot tub temps were perfect. Had everything we needed. Second time staying in the neighborhood and the check in and rental coordination process was SO EASY, even easier than last time. Kathleen was amazing and super responsive. Overall, GREAT experience!

Beautiful home!

This is a beautiful and elegant home, wonderful for our family reunion (8 adults, 2 kids). Each bedroom has its own bathroom. The media room also has a sofa bed, and there is another full bathroom close to the media room. We really loved the layout of the house- large living area for everyone to gather together, but lots of privacy, also, with the 3 guest bedrooms arranged around the front courtyard. The house is very spacious, sparkling clean, and well stocked. The kitchen has 2 dishwashers, which is very convenient for large groups. The property is beautifully landscaped with many flowering plants and trees. We had a fabulous time, and look forward to returning again!

Stunning home with gorgeous views.

This home was gorgeous inside and out. The living area was large enough to accommodate all of us and was so comfortable and lovely. The outdoor areas were beautifully landscaped and the pool was gorgeous. We loved the view of the golf course as well. Everything was perfect - we could not have asked for a better property manager. Kathleen even bought groceries for us the day of our arrival. The home was not too far from the private beach club. We drove there - it was a little far for some of our family to walk, but they had paddle board and kayaks and even a restaurant. The bedrooms were all around a common courtyard and each had its own bathroom and a little garden area. We would definitely recommend Hale Honu and hope to be able to return in the near future.

The perfect getaway with superb service!!

Just returned from a stay at the Turtle House. There were 8 adults and 4 kids and we never felt cramped at all! The house is clean, well stocked and has pretty much everything you need! And if there's something you need that isn't there, the property manager Kathleen is more than willing to help you get it! They'll even stock up the fridge for you before you arrive. Amazing hospitality and service from Kathleen and her husband and son! They even helped us find a private chef for a special meal and it was truly so so delicious!!! We all enjoyed our stay there and will definitely stay there again when we return.
