Welcome to Kuilima Estates, the condo property located on the grounds of world-renowned Turtle Bay. The condos are surrounded by two beautifully manicured golf courses and are the only condos on the North Shore. This is a great place to relax, rewind, and restore, and a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The condo property is a short walk to the hotel and to a lovely, sheltered, coved beach, where you can swim, snorkel, and surf. We have our pools, with lounge chairs, an outdoor shower, and charcoal BBQ grills. Bring your own equipment and play tennis on our courts at no charge. Experience the comforts of home as you experience aloha!
Since we are in a tropical environment, it is common to see insects and geckos in the condos. No amount of spraying will completely eliminate insects, especially ants. Registration Number: GE-016-722-1248-01, TA-016-722-1248-01

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lots of noise from the unit above. Hot water for about two minutes then turns tepid or cold. Screens at the front of the lanai are broken. I live on Ala Moana Blvd across from the park & was happy to get home.

The location is idyllic, 3 minute walk from the iconic Turtle Bay Resort for a fraction of the price. To stay here is a bit spendy, however, the price point can’t be beat for the location that it’s in. This stay is in the middle of an apartment complex so you deal with the normal issues with that, during my stay there were kids running all throughout the housing directly above me so it made it challenging to keep asleep - this is no fault to the room though. The housing was relatively clean and offered several amenities but the carpeting was somewhat raggedy and dirty and when I used the shower a ton of rust particles poured out before the water cleared it up after running a bit. All in all, a pleasant stay, it’s not the most luxurious apartment but again, for the price, it cannot be beat. I would stay here again if I was looking to save some cash and wanted to spend my time on the beautiful north shore.

Rating Details: The property manager was adequately 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 rented the condo for one week, traveled around the Island visiting many of the sites and beaches. Our main interest is staying in that area was to be close the the PCC, it was by far the best experience on the Island,and away from the crowds at the other end of the island. We did drive to Honolulu a couple of times and were very glad we didn't stay in that area. Turtle Bay was conviently located to most of the Island attractions we wanted to see and so many of the great beaches. The check in and out process was automatic, we did not have any interaction with or see any one from management and really had no need to. The system the had worked smoothly.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Staying on the North Shore of Hawaii is a must and our favorite spot is Haleiwa. Turtle Bay is our go-to for accommodations every time because it is very close with exceptional sunsets at Sunset Beach and amazing snorkeling at Shark's Cove! The condo was clean, airy and well stocked with all we needed to cook meals when not dining out, but the carpet in the bedroom was discolored and seemed to have an odor, it should be replaced. The pool was beautiful and we used the BBQ a couple nights.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We loved our stay at the Estates at Turtle Bay! The grounds were beautiful, the location was perfect, and it was just the right size for a short and comfortable stay with our family. We loved that we were able to save money by cooking some of our own meals, have separate spaces unlike a hotel, and that we could do our own laundry and not pack so much. The unit was cleaned between guests but definitely needs a good deep clean. Overall our stay was wonderful but I believe the owner should be aware of a few items:The carpets and cooking utensils/products need replacing, the screen door from the lanai needs repair, the fan on the lanai needs replacing, the pullout sofa mattress dips down so my kids had to use extra pillows to prop their heads up properly. These were not deal breakers for us but I know this unit would be better if those things were addressed. Thank you for allowing us this time there. It made our vacation even more comfortable and enjoyable!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Got in late in the evening. Condo was easy to get into but there was an overwhelming odor of mildew. The bedroom carpet was stained and in bad shape. Bathroom was kinda smelly also. My wife could not handle the smell and had an allergic reaction, throat swelled up bad. She slept in the car. Called the management company the next morning to complain, told them I was leaving and got charged for 2 days.

The furniture was appropriate, the location was perfect and we felt it was truly a relaxing vacation because we stayed at the condo instead of a hotel. It was nice having two bathrooms. We would stay in this condo again if given the opportunity to travel to Oahu again.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Estates at Turtle Bay have great pretensions as a luxury resort, but it falls far short of luxury. In general, our condo was showing its age, and was somewhat seedy and shabby. Cleaning was hit-or-miss, with soiled spots on the couch that stained my wife's pants. It is unheard of not to have a hair dryer available in a condo. Kitchen cabinets were literally falling apart, with doors that no longer could be closed. The screening on the back porch was falling apart. Other areas of the unit were simply dingy. The unit needs a thorough overhaul.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a strong wind storm and power outage while we were there and wish the condo had had flash lights and candles. Neighbors were great and helped out --also wish the Cd player had worked as we brought some great music. We were there for the North Shore surfing and it seemed others were too --so we had fun even though we had to beg the resort for a flash light that was reserved for hotel, not condo users.
