Welcome to this spacious second story townhome at Kuilima Estates at Turtle Bay.

This condo is located on the eastern side of Kuilima Estates, making this condo one of the closest units to the Turtle Bay beach. .

With a completely updated interior, guests enter into the air-conditioned living room complete with flat screen TV. Along with digital cable, guests also have access to the fastest, most reliable wireless internet for the area.

Continuing into the kitchen, should guests choose to prepare food during their stay, they will definitely appreciate the fully-stocked, full-sized kitchen completely remodeled with brand new appliances, sleek Quartz countertops, and all-new cabinets.

While enjoying the spacious first level, guests can also walk out to the balcony overlooking the 18th hole of the golf course with ponds, greens and trees spanning as far as the eye can see.

On the same level, guests will find the master bedroom. Air-conditioned and private, the master bedroom offers a king size bed, flat screen TV, and in-suite bathroom.

Equipped with two bathrooms on the first floor, an in-unit washer/dryer, fresh linens, and various beach sundries, this condo offers guests the comfort and convenience of home.

Regardless if guests plan to spend their time relaxing or taking advantage of the many activities offered at Turtle Bay and nearby areas, they will enjoy this condo and the beauty that the area has to offer.

*Although the hotel is not affiliated with the condo complex at Kuilima Estates, guests may dine at the hotel restaurants and enjoy the public beaches and walking paths to the right of the hotel. Beach parking is free should guests decide to drive instead of walk. Please note that the hotel pool is reserved for hotel guests only, however, there are three refreshing pools as well as tennis courts on the condo grounds.

We had a great stay. Our family loved the location as it was a good place to explore the north and east shores. The place was clean and spacious.

This was our family's first time staying on the north shore and we loved it! The condo's location was centrally located to plenty of beaches and food trucks and gave us a perfect location for all of the island exploring we did each day. We also loved the proximity to Haleiwa for the shops and wider variety of food. The condo was beautifully updated, clean, and had everything we needed. Communication with the owner and directions for accessing the condo was incredibly clear and we had no issues during our stay. It was a great size for vacation and our kids loved claiming the loft area as their space. The condo was easy walking distance to the beach and resort and also right next to a pool. We also utilized all of the walking/running trails for exercise on a daily basis. The only minor complaint of our stay at the condo was that the master bed mattress could use an update (just a personal preference on our aging backs!). Aside from that, we have zero complaints and would absolutely recommend this to others and stay here again.

Our family stayed for 10 nights, enjoyed every minute. Andrew was a great host and quick to answer questions. The condo is well appointed, up to date and has everything you need for a relaxing beach vacation. You can hear the ocean at night making for a relaxing evening. In addition to the condos pickelball/tennis courts and swimming pool it’s a short walk to pristine unpopulated beaches and a 10minute walk to Turtle Bay beach and the hotel. The hotel is a great location for sunset and drinks / dinner. Also short walk to Lai Lai’s restaurant at the golf course, our favorite breakfast and dinner spot. Would definitely rent from Andrew again.

We loved staying at this condo! The pictures are true to what the condo looks like. The communication was spectacular and everything went smoothly. We love staying on the North Shore and especially at Turtle Bay. We had a great experience.

Andrew was great at communicating and getting back when I had a question. Condo is nicely renovated with updated flooring and appliances. Warm and muggy when we arrived but the window units downstairs cooled the unit off quickly. The loft never cooled as much but with the ceiling fan it was ok. The staircase is spiral and narrow. That was not a problem for us but it could be depending who is in your party. There is not a bathroom in the loft and again, not a real problem for us but it could be. Parking was great and the unit includes a lot of extras, beach chairs, etc. It is a short walk to the resort with several bars and restaurants. I wish we would have spent another day. Really nice area with hikes, beach, golfing, surf, and food trucks close by.

This is the perfect place to stay in North Shore! Close enough to the resort to walk in and enjoy the grounds, but at a discounted rate. We enjoyed using the tennis courts and the pool in the gated condo complex. The view of the golf course from the patio was beautiful! The condo is updated and full of all the amenities you would need. The loft area was perfect for our kids. The staircase is steep, so I wouldn’t recommend for very small children or adults with mobility issues, but our kids loved it. The air conditioners cooled the unit down quickly. We loved the enclosed patio and appreciated the beach toys! There is even a cooler you can use which came in handy. We would stay here again hands down. Such a great location in the middle of the North Shore. Only 25 minutes to Alii to the Polynesian Cultural Center too, which was a plus. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

The condo is situated in the Turtle Bay resort; it is a beautiful place. The only deficit is a lack of choices of mid-priced restaurants

Pros: -Andrew is a great host. Clear instructions, fast communication -well equipped unit. Literally has everything you need, even has batteries to spare -great location in turtle bay, close drive to shark’s cove, food trucks and Foodland market -upstairs loft is a spacious place for kids. They loved the spiral staircase -gated property, felt secure -quiet neighbors -nicely upgraded kitchen Cons: -primary bathroom is tight. Can hardly move in the shower and toilet area -unit has two window ac units. The one in the primary room is nice and cold. The one in the family room not so much -loft has a portable ac unit that did not get cold at all -loft has cobwebs on the ceiling that cleaners have ignored for a while. Also a collection of dust/webs by the ceiling fan -little flying bugs around the windows. Yes this is the tropics but cleaners can do a better job of getting rid of them -could use some newer mattresses Overall a positive stay as the pros outweighed the cons.

We had a great stay at this VRBO. Andrew was very communicative and responsive leading up to our trip, as well as at the end. The place was clean and access was easy. What was great is that it is well stocked with kitchen, bath, and other items. Thanks and if ever in the North Shore again, would stay here again.

Andrew’s place was just as described! Full of amenities for the beach and kitchen. Although we didn’t cook, it was well equipped for anyone that would. Beach gear included a cooler, lots of chairs, beach towels, water sports equipment and an umbrella. We learned you can rent chairs and umbrellas at Turtle Bay, so we didn’t end up using them. But great to have if you prefer to set up elsewhere. The beds were super comfy and bathrooms were so clean and equipped with soaps and towels. It’s convenient to walk to resort for dinner and drinks, and walking to beach with gear would be a bit much, but very doable. Food trucks are a 5 minute drive away and a cute beer garden for take away bottles of wine. This area is beautiful! The walking paths are the perfect way to begin your day. We would recommend this place to anyone!

We had a perfect stay at this condo! It is a wonderful location-right next door to the pool and a 5 min walk across the golf course to the beach. The beach is very quiet and swimmable-even for our 9 and 12 year old. We stayed other places on the north shore-which were also beautiful but not swimmable for kids due to waves. The condo itself was very clean and everything was thought of-the laundry was efficient and they had laundry soap, dishwasher soap, everything you could need. There were boogie boards, beach umbrella/towels, scuba gear, etc on the porch. 7 minute walk to the restaurants at Turtle Bay-and 10 min drive to the Northshore beaches and food trucks. The owner was VERY responsive and kind. I left a beach cover up there and he shipped it back to us on the mainland the next day! I cannot recommend highly enough. A+!

We had the absolute pleasure of staying at this property for 11 days. On arrival the entire place was sparkling clean. The renovations are very nice. It felt as if we were the first to ever stay here. The home is stocked with everything you need for a wonderful trip. The proximity to the pool, tennis courts, golf course and beach was very convenient. This is our 4th trip to Turtle Bay, but our first time booking this unit. We will always book this unit from now on, it was by far the best one we have stayed at.

Be very careful of the spiral staircase, narrow and steep. We chose not to even try to carry my daughter’s suitcase upstairs. There is also a step -up at the top of the stairs to the sleeping area. Be aware as the first time I went to go downstairs , I fell and went headlong into the spiral steps. There should be some contrast on the edge of the step, the grey floorboards all blend together! The second bath is downstairs so one has to navigate going down the spiral staircase in the middle of night. We had to leave on multiple lights at night for safety. This wasn’t great for sleeping up in the loft! The bathroom off the master bedroom is a “one person “ bathroom. Two people will not fit.

Everything was as advertised, worked well and was nice and clean. I would definitely stay here again.

This is a beautifully updated condo next to the Turtle Bay Resort on the North Shore of Oahu. Although busy, the area is far less crowded than Waikiki. The condo location itself is fantastic--it is the complex closest to the hotel, golf course, and public beach access. The view looks out onto the golf course which is very serene, and there is a filtered view of the ocean from the upstairs loft. The balcony is screened in with a charming lighted sitting area. This is a gated community with a pool just around the corner from the condo. Although it is an older condo complex, the kitchen and bathrooms in the unit have been nicely remodeled. There are AC units in the main living and sleeping areas which are appreciated in the hot summer months. The washing machine and dryer are much newer, and fancier, than the ones I have at home! The unit is decently stocked with plenty of extra towels and bedding, along with beach towels and gear. The host Andrew is very responsive and gives plenty of information as needed. He is easy to work with, and there are many positive aspects about this condo. Things you should be aware of: --This is an upstairs, middle unit with permanent neighbors living next door and down stairs. We tried to be quiet and unobtrusive, but I was thoughtlessly noisy the morning we were cleaning the condo and packing to leave. I felt really bad afterwards. --What they say about the North Shore is true--it is very windy. In early August, there are intermittent showers throughout the day. One moment you are baking on the beach and the next you are running for cover from the rain. --As someone else mentioned, the hot water runs out rather quickly, so it's best to stagger taking showers. --Both bathrooms are on the main floor, and the circular staircase to the loft is very steep and precarious. The loft also has a step-up to the main bed, which is another potential hazard. You probably wouldn't want to put very young children or older seniors up in the loft for those reasons. --Finally, I could never find a jacuzzi which would have been nice after our amazing scuba diving trip in Sharks Cove. If you are looking for a nicely remodeled condo on the North Shore where you can comfortably spread out, this would be a great unit for you.

We took this trip with our adult children before they leave for school and had such a great time. The condo was in perfect condition, fully supplied for our needs and close to all the great north shore beaches.
