Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This property is ideal for a group of 6 or 8. There were 8 of us and at no time did we feel cramped. The open architecture and airness of the property gave it a very homey feel. It was well-appointed with all the kitchen necessities to make any type of meal. The view of the ocean from all bedroom decks as well as the one off the living room was great. We'll definitely stay again and give an unqualified recommendation to this property.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived at Hale Honu a few hours after the 2011 Japan Tsunami waves hit the Kona beach. We were anxious about how the house fared. There was no hint of any damage. We stayed one week. With one exception, there was not a single aspect of our stay that did not greatly exceed our expectations. The house was in outstanding shape and thoroughly cleaned. It came fully furnished with everything we would need to enjoy the surf and beaches. The views from every room were outstanding - whales going by almost every day, purposes/dolphins(?) frolicking a hundred yards from the house. Every bedroom with a balcony! A huge kitchen fully stocked with everything to make any meal one could desire. The only glitch we failed to notice was that parties were not allowed. In retrospect, it is understandable and we found that did not get in our way - the restaurants in the neighborhood were more than accommodating. Hale Honu exemplifies the aloha spirit in every way. We hope to return some day.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Would recommend to others and will re-book Hale Honu. Property is accurately described. Pictures do not do the location justice. We saw dolphins and humpbacks every day of our stay from the many decks. The swimming and snorkling off the property beach is very good however the rocky entry/exit points would not be suitable for children or weak swimmers due to the surf. The beach a short walk away is sandy and loaded with sea turtles. Fish can be caught off the rocks using local methods. Location cannot be beat as it is close to all amenities of Kona but secluded enough for ample privacy and again, the views from everywhere in the house are spectacular. Only downside is we did not get much use out of the wading pool and hot tub as they not ideally situated (street side) but hot tub is nice for a quick warmup after swimming. Garage is well equipped with alot of extra toys and snorkling gear left behind by former renters. Help yourself to my two fishing poles!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great time at Hale Honu. Wayne was very helpful and assisted us the first day we arrived by getting the televisions to work in the second master suite. We loved the sound of the ocean that put us to sleep every night. The rooms were spacious and the home was perfect for the three couples. We couldn't ask for a better vacation spot. Would love to come again. The home is well stocked with condiments, seasonings, towels, dishes, and things to use at the beach. Don't hesitate to select this home. Thanks home owners for a beautiful home and thanks Wayne for your assistance and care to meet our needs. Mahalo.
