I would love to give five stars all the way down the line, but I feel I can’t because there was construction on the attached building (2nd door down) that we should’ve been informed was happening.We found out this was a project that was planned months ago. Because we were at the end unit we had construction & subcontractors walking past our lanai every day and we were there for 2 weeks. They were very respectful and pleasant So I have no complaints about them personally but the property manager should have informed us in advance. I feel the property manager was more concerned about making money than our comfort.

We enjoyed our stay at the Surfer Hale condo. The property is as described and comes with everything you need to cook in and enjoy days at the beach including beach and snorkeling gear as well as tennis gear. You can walk to restaurants at Turtle Bay or take a short drive to nearby food trucks. Communication with property team was easy and we would recommend staying here.

This condo was perfect for our anniversary trip to Hawaii. Clean, quiet, and central to the places we wanted to visit on the North Shore. The pool felt great when we wanted to swim but didn’t want to head out to the ocean. We also enjoyed the quick walk to Turtle Bay resort for dinner and turtle viewing. I would stay here again.

Condo was as presented in description. Beach items were great to have available for use. Bed was super comfortable. Birds were noisy thru the night but a/c unit provided a nice hum that drowned out any noise. Would stay here again.

My daughter and I enjoyed our stay at the Surfer Hale condo so much! It was so convenient to walk to the beautiful beaches at Turtle Bay. The condo was great, clean, and very well appointed. We had everything we needed. This was a perfect home base in which to explore the spectacular beauty of the North Shore. And Lisa was so easy to communicate with. We would definitely stay here again!

The property grounds were clearly neglected. The unit itself had all the desired necessities.
The people who live there yr. round were delightful! Sharing with us the “must do’s”
Would we return? Probably not. Lots of places that are much nicer and more centrally located.

This condo was exactly what we needed as a family of 3 (7mo infant) for our stay. Beautiful inside and out. It was awesome they had all the beach toys and accessories we needed so we didn’t have to buy or pack any. Our child absolutely loved being able to crawl around off the back patio in the grass under the trees.

Wow, we really loved our stay here!! A perfect home away from home just a short walk from the beautiful beach and Turtle Bay Resort. We brought our 1 year old with us and especially loved having access to the pool in the complex. A great stay - we can’t wait to come back here!

I was very happy with this place! At first glance, it’s not fancy. But it has everything you need on site … great bed, beach gear - everything you will need in excellent condition right down to the cute little portable cooler. Tons of sun screen and lotion! Snorkeling at Turtle Bay was much better than expected and just in general, I was not let down by anything. Owner answered a late night call to help us get in too.

The condo was very homey and nice to be able to come to after a long day of having fun. The only thing I didn’t like was the stale/musty smell in the condo. It kind of smelled like urine. Other than that I am very pleased I chose this place.

We had stayed on the North Shore before, and knew the Turtle Bay area was a nice place to base ourselves. We enjoyed jaunts to Haleiwa and Laie for meals and shopping, but also found great roadside fruit stands and bakeries. We enjoyed all of the Turtle Bay restaurants, and played the golf course, and enjoyed sunrises and sunsets along their beaches. This condo was an easy, comfortable place to stay. It had golf clubs, beach chairs and umbrella, boogie boards, and snorkeling gear. We were able to use all of that and not search out rentals. Having the kitchen allowed us to take advantage of leftover restaurant meals.

The unit was clean and comfortable. I felt at home and relaxed. The updated touches made it feel well cared for. The view outside was amazing and I loved waking up there. The kitchen was stocked for cooking and there were a few basic items there upon arrival. The beach chairs were a huge plus. The pool was amazing but we were gone so much we didn't get to use it. The proximity to EVERYWHERE was key. The host was quick to respond and kind. I hope life brings me back to Oahu. I would stay at this unit again!

We especially appreciated the ease of check in and check out, excellent communication from our hosts, plentiful amenities (e.g., cleaning products, towels, pillows, blankets, kitchen gadgets) and updated and well-maintaned furnishings.

This condo was perfect for our trip. Convenient to so many great beaches, dining and groceries but far enough out to feel away from it all. It was super quiet, despite being fairly close to the highway and we rarely heard any neighbor noise.
The condo is clean, nicely updated and comes with all the extras to make the entire stay comfortable. The beach items were an awesome bonus. (yay for the beach umbrella!).
We will gladly try to book on our next visit.

This condo is great! It has everything you need and more. It was so nice that spices and condiments were available - some of which appeared to be left from previous visitors. Really great to not have to start from scratch.
We loved the property and proximity to the numerous beaches, local sites and eats on the North Shore. The fruit stands and food trucks at Kahuku were super close and great. Would definitely stay here again.

Great condo, great location. We found the condo is perfect for a couple. The house is perfectly furnished and decorated to get the Hawaiian experience. Has everything you need. Kitchen was stocked well, beach chairs, snorkel gear, cooler, beach towels. The lanai is private and beautiful.
I saw some comments about bird noise, but I found the birds to be a wonderful experience. The noise I would mention would be the road noise. This unit is next to the entrance road to turtle bay and somewhat close to the highway. That said, it was defiantly not a deal breaker.
The is much to do at the resort, and the condo is also nicely located to much more.
Overall, a fantastic place! Mahalo

We thought we were getting a newly refurbished place. In fact the window blinds were falling apart and did not work. Privacy was not possible in front room due to broken blinds. TV was hard to manage we could not get basic channels and wanted them. Back sliding door very hard to open. Overall good location. Thank you.

Once again thank you kindly for a great experience in your condo!

Enjoyed coming home for the 20th anniversary of our Hawaii FiDo service dog organization. The place was clean and homey and comfortable. Love the artwork and having all the beach goodies in the closet we’re great to use. Grew up on Kawela Bay so it was really neat to go back there. Can’t wait for our next visit. Loved everything washed all sheets, towels bath mat too .

Really enjoyed our stay in your condo. Had everything we needed and the amenities were great too: Golf, pools, beach nearby. Had a small issue with the washer but it was handled promptly. Only negative I have is there is no AC in the living room and it got so hot in there even with the fan and windows open. Would recommend to others and stay again.
Andrea V.
October 2019
This condominium was described accurately. Perfect location for our stay as I have two girls that live on the island and work at turtle bay. This allowed us to have time for additional visits with their busy work schedules. We plan to book again in the near future. Only draw back.. there seems to be a roosting tree out front of the condo birds are very loud during the night. This was over all a great place I would recommend.
Megan M.

The proximity to the Turtle Bay resort makes this the perfect place to stay in the North Shore area. The condo was very clean and cozy. The humidity wasn't a problem with all the windows open and the ceiling fans on. I would definitely stay here again.

The directions and check in procedure was good. Easy to find. Was exactly how it was pictured. It was a little hot for me but it was unseasonably hot for Hawaii. Bed was comfortable. Little bit of a ant issue in the kitchen. Obviously with it being so hot they were searching for water. Great location. I would stay again but not in the summer months.

My husband and I stayed here for our babymoon and it was absolutely perfect for us. The location was great. Close to beaches, trails, and decent food trucks. The condo is about an 8 minute walk to the Turtle Bay resort and 5 minutes to Lei Leis. We'd watch the sunset every night at Turtle Bay and is one of our fondest memories of the trip. It's gorgeous and has a great little surf break.
Some fun facts:
- The TV in the living room has access to Netflix, Hulu, and YouTube. You will need your login, but it was nice to have access these apps. Both TVs have a cable box.
- They have a great inventory of DVDs with a Hawaii theme to them. We really enjoyed watching a movie each night. It was fun spotting the areas we had visited on our trip.
We had a small hiccup with the AC unit working in our room correctly and the site contact was super friendly, quick to respond, and fixed the issue as soon as she could. I'd recommend only using the AC to cool the bedroom. It will not flow through the entire condo. Luckily there are large sliding glass doors in the living room that you can keep open with the ceiling fan on and it cools the living room and kitchen down enough.
The only thing that may have made this condo more desirable is a larger bed. And maybe access to bikes to further explore the property.
I'd definitely recommend staying at this condo and if we're ever back in Oahu, we'd stay here again without a doubt!

We had a wonderful time! The condo had all the basic supplies needed. AC unit in bedroom adequate to cool the bedroom but not the main living area--not a big problem as we were outside most of the time but made it hot for the person sleeping on the pull out bed in living area. Other than that; everything was perfect and would stay in the area again! Easy walk to beach each day.

We found everything we needed to self cater and also enjoy the beach. It was very straight forward checking in and the rental was the right size for our family with very small kids. Our 6 month old baby had a crib and 2 year old slept on the pull out couch. Turtle Bay beach was awesome and not far. Lots of amenities at the resort which were super handy. Lovely rental where we would stay again.

Our recent stay at Joan Price's vacation home was a great experience. The property is located in close proximity to whatever we wanted including fantastic golf, beaches and restaurants. The condo is exactly as described and was clean, beautifully decorated and well equipped. We would definitely return to this property when visiting this area and recommend it to others.

This was our second stay in Joan's condo and as usual, we enjoyed it. It is a great spot if you have children as the condo in the ground floor with a lot of open space for kids to enjoy themselves in a nicely landscaped area that provides shade and a nice breeze.

September 2016
We loved our stay here. The location was perfect for exploring the north shore of O'ahu. 10 minutes to Laie in one direction and 15-20 minutes to Haleiwa in the other direction and plenty of beach options in either direction. We loved the nice swimming pool which we would go to after being at one of the many wonderful beaches nearby. The unit is on the ground floor which was nice too. Inside the unit was very nice with a nice kitchen, bathroom and living room as well as a bedroom. We liked having a fully stocked kitchen (mostly for breakfast) and plenty of space for watching TV or getting stuff done on a laptop. The Wifi was fast and reliable. It was also nice having a washer/dryer to do laundry. There is a wall unit A/C in the bedroom which helped for sleeping at night because it did get hot (we were there in mid August). But it is sort of loud when it kicks in and off during the night, so we slept better with foam ear plugs. If you leave the windows open for the breeze, just be aware that the birds in the large trees outside the bedroom will wake you up very early (another reason for the ear plugs), but what a nice way to wake up and be reminded that you're in Hawaii! Also, we appreciated that there were beach chairs, umbrella, towels and snorkeling gear in the closet to use at the beaches. That was a nice surprise. There was also an air mattress in the bedroom closet which we never used since we didn't have our kids with us on this trip, but you could easily sleep a few more in the living room between the air mattress and the couch. We loved our stay in this condo and would highly recommend it.

I love this home! It was such a home feeling. All the things they provide is cool. Towels, chairs, umbrella, extra blankets. My wife and kids love this place. I highly recommend this home. Especially the location is awesome. The 4 star is because there is no AC in the living room. Other than that awesome!
