Tucked into lush tropical landscaping, Honu is a beautifully simple, single‑story retreat designed for serene beach‑side living. The home features a central living and dining area adjacent to a recently updated kitchen, with bedrooms and en‑suite bathrooms located at opposite ends to ensure privacy. Hardwood floors, expansive windows, and ceiling fans throughout enhance comfort and airiness. Restful, private sleeping spaces. Two thoughtfully appointed air‑conditioned bedrooms anchor either side of the home—one with a king bed, the other with a queen and two twins—each with their own en‑suite bathroom. A handy washer/dryer is tucked into the hallway off the primary suite for added convenience. Idyllic outdoor comforts + beach access. Step outside to a gated path leading to Waialea Bay, where swaying beach trees and fragrant tropical blooms set a tranquil scene. The outdoor shower with both hot and cold water is perfect for rinsing off after a day in the sun. Spot iconic local flora—Singapore plumeria, crown flowers, tiare gardenia, and fragrant pikake—right outside the primary bedroom for leis and island ambiance. Thoughtful amenities, island‑aware style. While only the bedrooms are air‑conditioned, the home’s design—with ceiling fans, natural light, and breezy layout—keeps it comfortable and relaxed. The home has air conditioning in the bedrooms only.

We had a wonderful time in this absolutely stunning home. Our host Mary was the most accommodating host we have ever had on VRBO. She was so helpful and all the tips for restaurants and activities were spot on. The location is incredible and steps away from a one of the best beaches (Beach 69) on the island! The entire trip was magic! We will for sure return to this home or look to 2 Papayas for other locations they host. Book this place, you will not be disappointed. ##### Adam S.

The Honu House was by far the nicest rental we’ve stayed at in HI. The location can’t be beat. The house was spotless upon our arrival, the beds comfy. Honu had everything we could want or need. Want gorgeous sunsets? This is the place to be! Fresh Meyers limes grown just outside the front door for your papayas and mai tais? They’re here! Perfect weather, lovely trade winds, adorable geckos on the lanai,so many birds! We will be back! ##### Mindy B. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne H. 27 Oct 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The perfect spot for two couples or a family of 4-5. My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week with another couple. We loved the layout of the house. Each bedroom has its own bathroom and is on the opposite sides of the main living room and kitchen, so it feels separated and private. The balcony is lovely and the grounds are beautiful. It’s a two minute walk to the most beautiful secluded bay. The beach has soft sand, plenty of shade and incredible snorkeling. One of our favorite features is the outdoor shower, which has warm water! The house is beautifully decorated and Mary is a dream to work with. Very communicative and accommodating! We will definitely be back! ##### Suzanne H.

The location is paradise - we spend most of our vacations between the house and the beach. No need to go anywhere else! We love eating on the lanai. The house is spotless with very comfortable beds, good pillows, a well-stocked kitchen, and fragrance-free laundry products. Mary and her team are excellent. We only stay with 2 Papayas when we come to the Big Island. ##### JESSE L.

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: 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. ##### JESSE L.

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! ##### Pamela G.

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: We only stay with 2Papayas on the Big Island. Mary & Marley have provided excellent properties and service for years. We stay with them every year. I'm not sure how many times we've stayed at Honu House, but it's in the double digits at this point. The house is spotless, well-stocked, and very comfortable.We super appreciate the fragrance-free cleaning and laundry products. Any minor issues are handled immediately. The location is unbeatable. We barely left the house/beach in our 3-week stay. ##### JESSE L. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa A. 21 Mar 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### No more resorts for us 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. ##### Lisa A.

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: 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!
