The lodging was very clean, comfortable and convenient. The property was beautiful, front and back. We enjoyed the short walk to the beach out the back, and the flowering trees in the front. We hope to stay there again whenever we go to Oahu.

It was a nice place. Not enough toiletries for a long stay. Other than that, I def recommend if you’re interested in staying in north shore area.

This rental was perfect for our family of 3. The house is equipped with everything you need during your stay - kitchen supplies, bedding, beach chairs etc. It is very clean and comfortable. The beach and a cute cafe are only a short walk away which was very convenient. Didn’t have any trouble or questions during our stay but the owner was easy to reach and helpful during check in and check out. A new pullout couch was delivered before we checked in and my teenage son said it was very comfortable. We would absolutely stay here again in the future.

The unit worked very well for me and my husband.I loved the breezes coming through the from the patio and he appreciated the air conditioning in the bedroom. If we had any questions, the property manager was very helpful and friendly. The easy access to the stores and beaches at Turtle Bay resort was an extra bonus. I also appreciated that 10 pm -8am quiet time that was expected of guests.

All screen doors did not work properly and came off tracks immediately! Also the pool was down so we couldn’t be on July 4th (other pool bbq was occupied). GREAT LOCATION 🙏🙏🙏

Saw cockroaches everyday. Kitchen was not clean. Bathroom is very old and has a very noisy fan. Condo is very old.

Beautiful property with everything for beach days and hiking. Close to the best fruit stand and different beaches for each day. The owners have created an oasis that is perfectly stocked to make the most of the opportunities nearby. Thank you!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Just a quick walk to a couple amazing beaches. Great amenities. Kids had no complaints with the pullout couch sleeping arrangement, but a bit to unsupportive for my husband and me . Very quiet, serene neighborhood and relaxing experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at SEArider TWO. Everything was impeccable. We appreciated the cleanliness, the attention to details, as well as the prompt responses to our communication with Nicole, prior to our stay. We would definitely stay at SEArider TWO again, as well as other properties owned by Nicole. We would also recommend SEArider TWO to our family and friends.

Condo was dated, but in good condition. The low position of the window units in the two bedrooms could be improved. As is, the air flow hits the side of the bed and hinders the overall comfort of the rooms. Housekeeping needs more attention to detail. Dust accumulation on black floor fan and door slats are noticeable. Some of the wood steps of the staircase are separating which may cause safety issues in the future.

We loved the property. It was peaceful, clean, had everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen supplies were well stocked and we appreciated the beach towels that we used daily at the pool. The owner was a delight to work with. She gave easy to follow directions for gate codes, arriving and end of trip details. Totally recommend.

Cindy was an amazing host! The location of the condo was just beautiful! If you love being in the quiet "countryside" this is the place to stay! The condo is equipped with everything you need to enjoy a day at the beach! Don't forget bags when you go to a store, which she has plenty there, as merchants charge you for bags there. Staying here was great! Would recommend to anyone!

The property was perfect for our group of 6. If I can make only one critique, they need to provide more trash bags and laundry supplies. We had to reuse some of our shopping bags to make trash bags. Very clean, and it was a great trip

We had a few issues with the parking gate code and electrics but the owner was easily contactable and resolved issue quickly. Accommodation is ok, facilities are average, the sofa bed has a big dip on one side for example but being near the beach counterbalances these quirks. Overall it's reasonable for the area.

We had a wonderful stay! This condo was everything we hoped. Very clean, very spacious and close to all the area beaches. My daughter loved the loft area. The AC was much appreciated and the ceiling fan kept the loft a perfect sleeping temperature. We ate at Turtle Bay Resort and utilized the pool area too! We would definitely stay here again!

Our family was attending a wedding on the North Shore, 10 minutes from the property so the location was ideal. The condo and grounds are well maintained, easy parking with restaurants and beaches within walking distance. The owners provided everything you could need for a day at the beach, including a wagon to tote them in. The kitchen was fully stocked with every pot, pan or gadget you might need. The Welcome Binder was very useful and detailed. We felt very cared for.

We loved our stay at this property. Very spacious and lots of fun for our family. We've been to Turtlebay many times, but this was the largest condo that we've stayed in. We would rent this condo again!

We were all comfortable and enjoyed our stay. Very clean and had all we could think of. Check in was a breeze. Beds are comfy. No noise complaints like I had read in some reviews. My only complaint was i reached out for assistance on the fan/light and tv as we were not able to turn on the fan/light. Was told sorry to hear about that. No suggestions no assistance. Felt that was inadequate as everyone is waiting for an answer. We could definitely of used the light and the fan. TV issue we worked around it. Tv worked - we just couldn't figure it out. The pool area is great, the walk to the parking lot for our extra car was short and pleasant and free. Would I stay there again...YES! Thank you for a special staycation.

Rating Details: The property manager was very 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 loved our stay at the Alea! The resort is beautiful and we loved walking across the golf course to watch the sunset at the beach. The kitchen was decently stocked with everything you need to cook. We really liked having 2 full bathrooms and a washer and dryer. Our only complaint is that the loft got very warm for our two younger kids. Ifthe trade winds weren't blowing, it was very uncomfortable as they were trying to sleep. We definitely recent this property! And if you get it chance, make sure to check out the organic shave ice place that is across the highway from the entrance to Turtle Bay. It was our favorite!

Adjacent to the soon to be Ritz Carlton Turtle Bay Resort made the condo well-placed. It’s a nice walk or short drive to access the various eating and drinking choices, as well as the pleasant beach on site. The condo is well stocked with all you need for your stay. Just bring food or stop by one of the many delicious food buses nearby. It’s also a short drive to the numerous great North Shore beaches. Air conditioning throughout the unit was welcome too.

It was a very comfortable stay here. The place was clean and had AC and fans. There weather was great so we rarely turned on the AC. There were minor maintenance issues, but nothing that needed urgent attention. I informed the host and requested they address the minor issues after we check out. BTW, it's a 20 minute walk to the beach. If you want to park, there are public parking spots at Turtle Bay Resort. Go in the morning. It's about 10-12 minutes to some good food trucks and Foodland grocery. If you like snorkeling, go to Shark's Cover early in the morning. Thanks.

The unit was very spacious with 3 bathrooms, a well stocked kitchen and some beach gear like snorkels, beach chairs etc which was great. The were some little bugs here and there but I guess that goes with the territory. The spiral stairs that go to the loft area is a bit tight especially to carry up luggage. The only disappointment was that dense trees block the view from the patio. You cannot look out into the golf course.

It was so beautiful and clean. Ac works great. Beautiful areas. Water was warm when you showered but don’t shower both showers at the same time or someone gets cold water. And the washer is loud and sounds like it might explode. Beds were comfortable. Lots of space. Kitchen was great size too

This condo worked great for our family. We drove all over the island and felt confident that this area was the best location to stay on the island. It was also close distance to Lei Lei’s restaurant and we loved going there. It was helpful to have beach towels and beach chairs available to use in the condo.

Our family had a wonderful stay in this condo. It was comfortable, clean, and convenient to all the North Shore beaches and activities. We spent one day in Honolulu but couldn’t wait to get back up to Kuilima/Turtle Bay. We loved the convenience of having a full kitchen with all the tools we needed to make meals when we just wanted to spend a quiet evening at “home.” It was wonderful to have beach towels, beach chairs, boogie boards, and a screened lanai where we sat each morning to sip coffee and watch the birds. The beds were super comfortable. Oh, and the water pressure! The showers were amazing! This place had it all — beautiful beaches nearby, amazing scenery all around, pools, restaurants close by, peace and quiet. Two thumbs up and all the stars! We can’t wait to come back!

This property was a wonderful part of our stay in Oahu! The beds were very comfortable, there was plenty of kitchenwares and towels, and the AC units quickly cool the place down when you come home from your adventures. The beach equipment was so helpful as well! The owner was thorough in directions and answered questions promptly. My family loved using the nearby pool and eating on the back patio which looks out to a quiet golf course. It is a quick drive to the beach which Turtle Bay Resort is on, a great beach for families. Definitely would recommend staying here

It was mine and my sons first time in Oahu/Hawaii. We chose this location due to proximity of where my daughter was staying for her wedding. The entire Turtle Bay community was amazing and the amenities were even better. I would stay here again and recommend it to anyone traveling there.

Loved this unit at Kuilima Estates! Very clean and uncluttered, and it had everything we needed for our getaway to the North Shore. Its location on the property was lovely. Highly recommend!!!

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.

Had a wonderful time at this location! Would stay again. 6 adults fit comfortably. Unit has AC which you can’t always find in Hawaii. Master bedroom AC worked ok, the other two units were newer and worked fantastic. Real nice spot on the island.

We had such an amazing stay here! Perfect for our family of 5. Property is beautiful, clean, and safe. Short walk to the resort for beach, food, and coffee. Grocery and North Shore beaches just a short drive. Beds were incredibly comfortable. We would definitely love to stay here again in the future. Mahalo🌺

The property is located near many of the beaches and had easy access in and out of the condo area. Be prepared to rent or purchase beach stuff. The condo had no useful beach equipment. Great stay and met the purpose of our stay. Thank you

We visited Oahu for a week and stayed at this condo on the tail end of our trip. It was perfect for our family of 4 (kids age 15 and 12). The place was clean, comfortable and they had beach equipment readily available. If we could do it over again, we would stay here on the North Shore longer.

Great place for a family of 4. The biggest perks were the beach chairs, coolers and boogie boards. Ate breakfast on the lanai. A/C was handy at night. Walked to Turtle Cove for some of the best snorkeling so far. Would definitely rent this condo again.

The unit looked like the pictures. There is an ant problem in the kitchen. There were cobwebs in the shower and the second day of our week stay the refrigerator broke ruining about $600 worth of groceries. We reached out to the property manager who basically say “bummer”. She came and flipped the circuit breaker which we knew wasn’t the problem because the light in the fridge was on. The fridge was not fixed our entire stay so we then had to spend lots of money eating out. The morning we were leaving she came back and measured the space for a new fridge. The reason I chose a home instead of a hotel was for the kitchen. I had five 18 year old boys I had to feed which ended up being very expensive on top of the money I had spent on groceries.

This place is a short walk to turtle bay resort, where we attended a wedding at the stables. The apartment is in a gated community which feels secure and super safe, and quiet at night! We loved staying on the north shore, felt like living like the locals. 10/10, would absolutely come back.

It was difficult to get information about using the property. We finally had to call to make contact. The property was filthy, moldy, and insect-infested. The "sofa bed," which wasn't really a sofa bed, was stained and wet; the lamps were of poorest quality and broken. The location was NOT ideal, being adjacent to the intersection of Kamehameha hwy and the main entrance to the Turtle Bay Resort: very noisy. The air conditioning units were noisy and inefficient. What a disappointment! We will NEVER stay at this condo again!
