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.

Perfect!
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!

Honu House delight
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!

Excellent stay in Puako
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.

Nice beach property
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!

Great Cozy House, amazing location
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..
