Great location if you want to explore the North Shore. We were able to get to the beaches before the crowds showed up! Close to Kahuku Sugar food truck village with lots of yummy food choices. We also had a great dinner at Beach House by Roy Yamaguchi and access to the beach at Turtle Bay. We will return!

nice place for family in a more expensive area. would have liked to have the expectations about no beach stuff outside the front door included in the booklet to avoid the reminder text. communications were good.

Reviewer Comments:
The location of the unit wasn't as shown in the map on Expedia and we weren't given the actual address until the day before our stay.It was implied that there would be 2 parking but there was only 1 when we got there.The bedroom window AC was working but the living room AC was broken and it was hot, so we ended up leaving.I emailed about the AC problem but didn't receive a response until after our stay was over and I was only thanked for letting them know.I asked for a refund and was told that the agreement stated that there would be no refund if we decided to leave early. Then when I stated that there were problems that would justify a refund, no response.

We liked everything except the stairs up to the bedroom. They were difficult maneuvering if you had to get up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom and were half asleep. Very clean property.

Lived up to our expectations! It was perfect for our family vacation that is close to beaches, food, tourist sites, and it has all the conveniences of home. When I asked the host a question I got a response right away. We would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Great location. After being couped up in a hotel room as a family of four it was nice to have a condo to spread out. It's so nice to have a kitchen where we could cook meals and not have to go out to eat all the time. I was a bit skeptical at first because I thought the beach was going to be far, but it's not far at all ! We ended up driving to the beach a lot, but only because it was convenient and there was so much available parking. If it was a hassle to park then we would have just walked. The property is an easy walk to the beach and we usually walked during our morning coffee. The condo was stacked with beach equipment ! They had everything you need. We made use of the bamboo mats, the fins, and coolers. I also blew some bubbles because who can resist blowing a few bubbles. The fins came in handy on the last day while snorkeling in the morning where our adventurous daughter likes to dive deeper and caught a glimpse of an octopus swim and change color. She's been searching for that one for a while. The bamboo mats were clutch to lay on while your towel stays clean. The only hiccup we had was during parking. There was a big van parked in 106 with the doors open while they were unloading so I parked in a guest spot. The next morning I received a note as a warning saying I needed to get a guest pass from security. No big deal though. We found security and Orin provided us a week long pass. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks, and Mahalo !

Townhome was very clean and comfortable for our family stay. Wonderful location to explore the northern part of the island with access to beautiful north shore beaches, Polynesian Cultural Center and several excellent food spots. Great stay to end our vacation on!

The location of this little condo is in a perfect location--just 2 blocks from the Ritz Carlton (where we stayed the 3 nights previously for a wedding) and their great restaurant) and the spectacular beach. This condo is old and dated but we weren't there except to sleep so that wasn't a concern. We knew that there was only one queen-sized bed so people should pay attention to that--plus the one older bathroom but again, we made it work. There is NO central air conditioning, just a low functioning window unit in the living room and another one in the bedroom; at times it was a little warm but we slept well. Our family who was staying in the same area had a car so we never had to walk. We loved staying at the North Shore--so much fun and so much to do. There is a great luau in the area.

We had the best time staying on the north shore in the condo. It was super cute & had all the spaces we needed for everyone to comfortably spread out & super comfy beds. The kitchen had everything we needed for meals at the condo & I was able to do some laundry as well. We really enjoyed sitting on the back porch every morning enjoying our coffee & the golf course views. Having access to the beautiful Turtle Bay Resort grounds was so great. Our kids played pickle balll & we hiked the trails. We also enjoyed grabbing drinks at the resort bar overlooking the water at sunset. Loved having use of the beach chairs/towels as well for our North Shore beach excursions. Best part of our trip was staying here. Would highly recommend it. Thanks for the awesome stay!!

We planned a trip for a family wedding and were planning on staying at this condo for the whole trip. Unfortunately, we were extremely disappointed with the condition of the condo. In the listing, states air conditioning but when we arrived it was a window unit that had aluminum foil around the frame and it was unable to properly cool down the condo. The fans that were provided did not work either. The condo was poorly cleaned. There was dried urine on the toilet and dirt/food/ dust all over the condo. There was holes within in the condo that allowed rodents to come in. When reaching out with my concerns, I didn’t feel validated and we ended up leaving the condo early. They compensated 2 nights because I left early. However this is not enough and does not meet my needs.

This condo is nice and bright, and has a great view of sunsets over the golf course. The bed was comfortable and everything that could possibly be needed was available in the kitchen. They have beach chairs and a cooler that were very handy. My only disappointment was there was only air-conditioning in the room downstairs so the loft was quite hot in the evenings. They do have plenty of fans and it’s on the windward side of the island so there is a breeze it comes through at night, but the window is small upstairs. The beach umbrella needs replaced. The screen door kept coming off the track every time we would go in or out. The burners need wiggled to engage with the power and then they work fine. It was a fantastic vacation.

We had the best stay, in an adorably decorated Condo. Jordan was awesome with giving information for our stay. We frequent Turtle Bay every few months and stay at the condo's for the last several years, but this stay was one of the best that we’ve had! Can’t wait to come back.

We really enjoyed our stay. The location was great. Snorkel gear and beach items were available to use which was fabulous! I enjoyed the books available to read. The bed was comfortable. We would recommend new chairs for the sunroom and the bathroom definitely needs to be repainted. As for the kitchen. The coffee mugs were stained and the dishwasher and fridge need to be replaced (tons of rust). The kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates, cups and things for cooking using the stove. Some of the blinds in the bedroom have to be replaced! It is a safety concern. I saw a review a few months ago about this concern and it still has not been replaced. I would definitely recommend this place and it was nice.

Very wonderful stay! We absolutely loved this condo, all the beaches, Toa luau, Waimea bay and all the hikes. This area is superior to Waikiki! Go on adventures and enjoy the beauty of this area! North shore is where it’s at!!!

Good stay. Mattress a little soft, towels need replaced (smelled sour even after washing), probably need someone to clean the wash machine, didn’t use but microwave door can’t open. I guess if I ran a BnB, I would put more into it and maybe charge a little more? However, Vanessa was great to work with, price was right, and we enjoyed our stay.

We were glad to find this 1 bedroom, 2 bath unit that was much less pricey than the Ritz Carlton Turtle Bay resort, but still within walking distance of the restaurant and resort facilities. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking items and grocery stores are close by. There is a nice lanai with seating and boogie boards/equipment and a view of the golf course. Very much appreciated having a washer and dryer. We stayed here with our 2 kids who slept on the pull out couch and it was a convenient and comfortable home base for spending time on the North Shore.

This was a lovely and updated 2 bedroom, 1 bath unit with a peaceful view of the golf course. Much more affordable than staying at the Ritz Carlton Turtle Bay resort, which is within close walking distance. Very much appreciated that there was laundry in the unit. Good communication with owners and check-in and out was easy.

The location of this place, and the general area, are excellent. North Shore is so fun, having the hotel right there is great. The place itself is a little worn. Screens off hinges, loud A/C units, minimal amenities and rough beds. If you want value, I suppose this is it, but overall it came up a bit short for us.

This condo was perfect for the middle of our 10 day stay in Oahu. We stayed 2 nights. Proximity to Turtle Bay and its beach as well as restaurants were perfect. The washer/dryer was key. Check in was easy. Condo was clean and the porch was perfect for morning coffee. Would absolutely stay here again. Thank you!

The condo was everything we needed! It is in a great location on the north shore with plenty to do within 20 minutes. It’s about a 10 minute walk to an excellent beach or a 10-15 minute drive to the best snorkeling spot on Oahu at Sharks Cove. The unit does run warm with no central AC and even with the doors open to allow the breeze thru in the living room it’s still not cool in June during the day. Also, the AC wasn’t great in the kids room on the third floor loft and it’s really not a private half bath if folks are sharing the loft. While bugs did get in from having the windows open the unit itself was incredibly clean and had everything we needed to cook dinner. Would absolutely stay here again.

This cute vacation home was perfect for our stay on the North Shore. I loved that it was walking distance to a beach and restaurants. The view of the golf course with birds all over was just a perfect way to wake up in the morning and Lei Lei's was a delicious restaurant, just walking distance from this place. We enjoyed the beach equipment and beach towels at the house for use during our stay. Our only downfall was the bathroom in the bedroom. My husband is 6' 5" and he just couldn't take a decent shower because of how tiny it is.

Family of five stayed here June 2025. Great place for our family. Unit is as described with 1 main bedroom with a king bed and a loft with 2 queen beds. 2.5 bathrooms. Washer/dryer and air conditioning (window units) throughout. The kitchen was well-stocked with cooking supplies. The beds were comfortable. Kuilima estates is a quiet, safe neighborhood. Condo isn’t super-close to the beach but is within walking distance. There were some very used beach supplies as well (could use some new beach chairs). We had no issues during our stay. Owners were very communicative about check-in/out process and house rules. Would stay again. Thanks!

We enjoyed our stay at this townhouse. This is our first time staying at the North shore and we are happy we had this place to stay. Likes: closeness to the beach and proximity to the places we wanted to go. The estate was well maintained and having that security gate is a great feature. The kitchen is fully equipped plus the new washer and dryer is awesome! The communication between the property manager is easy and genuine. The townhouse itself is a bit dated but we can see the care that the owners put into it. Suggestions: Maybe a bathroom caddy in the master’s bathroom since there is nothing in there that you can put your shampoo or soap on. It would be nice to have a better broom and dustpan to use inside the house so we can sweep the floor. There were also dead cockroaches inside the kitchen cabinet and some bugs in the ice dispenser. The volume on the TV in the living room is not working. Over all, we would recommend this townhouse and would def come back.

Stayed for 2 weeks with my family. Welcoming and easy to access. Accommodating and safe surroundings with beautiful view. Only thing that the upstairs bathroom had no lock, and refrigerator fruit drawer was hard to open since it was cracked, and dressing drawers had dog hair which we vacuumed. Other than that we would I definitely stay again. Thanks for having us.
