I am hesitant to share how perfect the location was (especially for me traveling with 3 teen girls), as it could make it harder to book in the future...
The check in process, house and location were perfect. I didn't really want to leave the house and we walked to the beach multiple times a day. Loved everything about it.

Honu, is the perfect house for our family vacation,the location makes it really easy for us to go back and forth to the beach without having to drive. Mary @ 2papayas is great to work with, and always available if needed.

Had a wonderful escape to sunny Waialea Bay for some much needed R&R. The house is adorable, updated and clean. Beds are super comfy. The location was perfect for us. Close to the beach yet still private. The yard was cared for nicely and was a great place to sit when the wind picked up. Mary is very communicative and wonderful to work with. Would 100% return in the future.

We first stayed at the Honu house in 2016 & this is our 4th stay. We have also stayed at least three times at the Ehu Kai house, twice at the Kolea house, and once at the Blue Makai house. As always, the house was perfect and the 2Papayas crew was friendly & helpful. Staying at Beach 69 with 2Papayas is our go-to relaxing vacation. The beach is stunning, with mild to no surf, snorkeling, and plenty of shade. Honu House is perfectly set up for families or two groups traveling together. The kitchen is well-equipped, the beds are very comfortable, and everything is spotless. My favorite feature of staying with 2Papayas is their dedication to using unscented cleaning and laundry products. Vacation rentals often reek of highly scented cleaning products, air fresheners, scented trash bags, dryer sheets, etc. At Honu House, and at the other 2Papayas properties we've stayed at, all you smell is the scent of the plumeria and gardenia being carried on the ocean breeze. We are booked to come back to Honu House paradise in six months.

It has been a bucket list item to stay on Beach 69 since we were first there 20 years ago. While Hona isn’t directly on the water it was a calm and quiet garden oasis, and a 1 minute walk on a shady path to the beach. The beds were comfortable and we didn’t need to use the A/C during our stay. Mary was very attentive and responsive. It was a lovely week!

This lovely home sits minutes from the beach. The kitchen is well-equipped with new appliances. The bedrooms are private and the lanai is cozy...it's where I fell asleep every night listening to the waves. The yard is pleasant and there is an outdoor shower area. The decor is laid-back, upscale, and beachy which kept me from missing a resort altogether. We had space and the convenience of a carport. The beach is shady and less busy than the neighboring Hapuna. Great communication with host.

Our Family had a great time at Honu House, We love the proximity to the very calm and quiet beach. The house have everything need it for your vacation, and Everything works perfect. Mary and the staff at 2Papayas are very Nice and helpful booking the place for you.As a recommendation, I will say, it will be nice if there where some paddle boards or a kayak as a part of the rental.We loved the place and already planning to go back in April 2023.Thank you!

An awesome location, quiet neighborhood, lovely sandy beach, great for snorkeling, everything you need for beach comfort, and perfect for two couples. Comfy beds and very helpful manager. Special shout out to the friendly gardeners who gave us many ideas for neat places to visit, and make the garden beautiful! Would definitely return!

We had a wonderful week in Honu House, walked in to fresh floral arrangement and Hawaiian music. Heavenly! Really loved the closeness to beach. Plenty of towels and linens, beach chairs, etc. Very clean and well equipped. Mary attended to our few needs with help to figure out great places to eat. Loved everything about it except the time went by too quickly. Thank you for a blissful stay. The lime tree in the yard provided a few limes for our drinks!

Perfect Big Island getaway with everything you need for a relaxing vacation. House is close enough to Beach 69 you can hear the surf on the shore from everywhere on the property. Gated access to the neighborhood. Do not worry about the lack of AC - there are ceiling fans all over and fresh mauka breezes blew down every night of our stay. Mahalo for our time in such a beautiful place.

We had a wonderful time at Honu and felt at home. It has all the amenities and it's so lovely. The only recommendation would be a request for more comfortable outdoor lanai furniture. We ate all our meals outside in the beautiful Hawaiian climate. Mahalo!

We enjoyed our stay of 9 nights. The house's location can't be beat...steps away from a great, shaded beach and a very quiet neighborhood. The house has a great Hawaiian feel and had all amenities we could need, especially with kitchen /cooking and beach supplies. Beds and living spaces are comfortable. Staff at 2Papayas is wonderful, friendly, and very helpful. We loved the nice welcoming touches upon arrival. No air conditioning, but the house was cool enough at night and listening to the waves and birds at night and morning felt like a real retreat!

We highly recommend this property, we are a family of 5 that stayed here for a week, amazing snorkling and beach right outside your door, Mary and two Papayas was wonderful, attentive, thought-full. Many little details and extras in the house that made the stay amazing. She even helped us find and rent surfboards from Adam at Lat20 who was amazing. If you have the chance to rent this house , do it...It was the highlight of our trip..
