If looking for North Shore expierence this location is good. Walking distance to Turtle Bay Resort and public beach. Many other beaches, towns and expierences with 30 minutes. Nice updates to an older property. Laundry was a plus as we were went to another island after this visit.

Our stay at this Turtle Bay condo was absolutely phenomenal! From the fully stocked kitchen and bathroom amenities to the incredibly comfortable beds, every detail was thoughtfully taken care of. The condo was immaculately clean and well-organized, making us feel right at home. The host was incredibly responsive and friendly, ensuring our stay was nothing short of perfect. The fresh breeze flowing through the condo was a magical experience on its own. Being so close to Turtle Bay Resort was a huge plus, offering unforgettable sunset experiences and fantastic beach days. The convenience of being just a short drive away from the Polynesian Cultural Center (don’t miss it) made our trip even more memorable. This condo mirrors the aloha vibe perfectly, a 11/10, Can't wait to return! Best Vrbo experience we’ve had. Thank you Cindy for the warm welcome and true aloha experience.

We enjoyed staying here and the property was accurately described. It's part of the larger Turtle Bay resort so you do have access to a nice beach and the comforts of a large hotel and it's amenities very close by. Property was nicely maintained, clean and spacious. the upstairs has the 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms that was helpful. The downstairs could easily accommodate another person on the sofa bed and a bathroom as well. The kitchen has the required amenities to cook a quick brunch and dinner if needed. Appreciated that since the prices in Hawaii are pretty high. Very close to the Polynesian Cultural Center which I think is a blast and highly recommended. And you're never more than 2 minutes from a beach! What's to complain about that!

Owner has great communication and getting to and into the property was easy. Beds were comfortable. Only trouble was my 6’3” husband bumped his head on the ceiling upstairs due to the vaulted ceilings.

We had a wonderful vacation in Kamakani’s beautiful condo at Turtle Bay. The one bedroom was pristine! The kitchen and bedroom had everything we could possibly want. There are beach supplies too. The condo was spotless and newly renovated. The owner and property manager were very helpful and friendly. We also thought that the location was ideal. It’s situated on the golf course and feels very private but is very close to the golf shop and a good restaurant called Lei Lei’s. It is a slightly longer walk to the hotel that features two fabulous restaurants, a bar and shops. Our favorite thing was listening to live music at the pool bar and upstairs at the open air interior bar. We had a fantastic stay and are already planning our return trip! Katie

My Wife and I just finished up our stay and are so sorry that we had to leave. Kama and Bernie were incredible hosts by answering all of our questions to make our stay an incredible one, and the condo was also recently renovated with all the amenities we needed. Full kitchen, very comfortable bed, and close to the pool. To boot, the location was superb which allowed us to navigate with ease to the east or west side of the North Shore. If you have ever used a short-term rental, then you know how the host(s) can make or break a good experience and these guys go above and beyond to make sure your stay is a great one. They are also wonderful ambassadors to the area so you are in great hands if you want to know where to go! Do yourself a favor and book this place with two hosts who actually take pride and clearly a lot of care so that you can take advantage of a beautiful vacation.

Place was clean and beds were great. Kitchen was fully stocked. Pool was great and parking was easy. Complex was very quiet. Host was very responsive. Make sure you read the instructions carefully prior to arrival because you need to pick up the gate fob from the owners house (just a few miles from the condo).

One of the closest condo’s to Turtle Bay Beach resort. Easy walk. Many outdoor activities can be booked…surfing, horseback ridding, e-bikes, paddle boarding, ect. The resort has a Hawaiian Cowboy themed Luau on Wed. and possibly Sun. (when the Polynesian Cultural Center is closed). Best beach is Kawela 1 mile West. You can drive to it as well.

Really cute place. Unfortunately, the roof was being redone during my stay each morning. Owners were unaware and ended up giving me one night for free. (Maybe bad communication between roofers and property manager?) Besides that everything was easy and comfortable.

Our group was divided in two different condos so we never needed to cook in the unit as we were together more in the larger one for gathering. We only used it for sleeping and showers. The absolute best perk of the unit is the hook-up to surf lessons on the North Shore from the owners. Best day of the trip for the teenagers in the group. Thank you so much for that amazing activity. Five star service! My only suggestion is to be more clear that it really isn't two units (there are two sleeping areas- - one in the middle of the kitchen/living room and the other a private bedroom) but for what needed it still worked really well.

The North Shore is such a special place and this condo is in an amazing location. Lots of beach access nearby and a fantastic grouping of fruit stands and organic shave ice across the street. Sandra was fantastic to work with and was always responsive to any communication. We have stayed in other properties in this same complex and the lanai was such an added bonus. Our family loved the extra amenities and the beach toys were enjoyed by our kids. We highly recommend. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

This was a great place to stay, if you are visiting the North Shore. The place was neat and clean. Check-in was easy. I would have liked a check-out time of 11am (instead of 10am), so we are not rushed trying to get out. Overall though, it was great!! Thank-you!!

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: My husband and I enjoyed our 10 day stay at our vacation rental. It was clean, comfortable and conveniently located to all our adventures and experiences of the North Shore. We came to relax and destress and that’s exactly what we achieved. The Garden Hale at Kuilima Estates was wonderful.

We had a wonderful stay with our family of 4 at the condo in Turtle bay. Location was very convenient, only a few blocks walk to the beach and restaurants at the resort. The rooms and facilities in the condo were top notch, and the kitchen was stocked appropriately for us to cook a few meals. We also loved the bin with all the beach gear, it was very convenient to have the chairs, boogie boards and other items. Overall a fantastic stay and we would highly recommend for others!

Our rental experience in this condo was excellent. All details were accurate and well described in the listing. The condo was SPOTLESS, amenities were perfect--especially the beach chairs and beach towels--and the condo community was quiet and relaxing. Thoroughly enjoyed taking advantage of the restaurant at Turtle Bay golf club and the beach bars at Turtle Bay resort. I would recommend this condo to anyone--the listing provides all the information you need.

We stayed here with our two older teens and my 70+ mom and all really enjoyed it. The location is good for exploring the North Shore. It's a pleasant walk up to the Turtle Bay resort, but also the parking lot there is free to use if you want to drive with all your beach stuff (beach is public.) My husband and I enjoyed walking up for live music and drinks at the resort bar. The restaurant at the golf shop is a quick walk. Ted's is just down the highway. We also really enjoyed walking on the trails by the beach, petting goats at the stables, seeing all the toads on the golf course at night, and the many birds that visited!
Valancy B.
April 2024

We loved the location on the golf course and we were able to walk to the resort/beaches (about 10 minute walk). Also, there is a really good restaurant about a 5 minute walk. The location was quiet, and the condo was spacious, clean and perfect for our group. You can tell there have been upgrades done to the unit and it was comfortable and well stocked for cooking. The king bed in the master was wonderful. We really enjoyed the enclosed back deck. I would definitely stay here again!

The area of Turtle Bay was super nice, had a lot of nice amenities. Nice amount of beach items for our use. The condo was extremely hard to get into with the key pad, called manager and he was able to give better instructions. No A/C in the loft made for a stuffy stay for the kids. They had fans but it wasn't enough. It states in the description that there is A/C in the loft. Called manager and he said nothing he could do because the condo association wants them to replace it with a $30,000 central air unit.. He also went on to say that is why their price is lower than other condos in the area. The pictures of the living area are not accurate, no dining table or 2 couches. It is an Island with 3 seats. Small couch and 2 chairs. Certainly would not stay here again.
