We had an amazing time in Oahu. My daughters had heard great things about staying by turtle bay. It was great.

Loved staying on the North Shore. Just short walk to the Ritz Carlton and Turtle Bay beach. House and resort condo was terrific and felt like a wonderful family home and resort feel!

It was a beautiful condo and a nice location by the pool. We loved the enclosed patio with lights and the communication from the manager was one of the best we’ve ever had.

Condo was clean. The kitchen was nice, well equipped. Frig is old with minor rusting on shelves. Bedroom and bathroom are fine. Nice beach equipment provided. Location is excellent! Many reviews talk about the "run down" condition. Yes, there are places where paint is peeling and drywall needs some patching. These were minor and to be expected in the humid climate that Hawaii is. We weren't bothered by that. We do suggest that owner fix the blind slats that are missing in the bedroom. Since it is the bedroom and right at the front of the condo, this should be a priority. Also, larger and more bath towels would be appreciated. For the very reasonable price, this condo is great!

This was a very nice place with an attention to details. The kitchen was well appointed. The place had a couple surf boards, boogie boards, and even a cooler to take your drinks to the beach. Clean and very comfortable.

Disappointing place for the price, seemed outdated, the sofas were stained and uncomfortable. However the carpets appeared newer, the place is very dark inside due to bottom level, dark indoor color on walls and dark countertops even with curtains open. Small sugar ants on lower baseboards going up the wall in the living room on same side as AC unit. The AC buttons don't function even after we replaced the batteries, without the AC and fans on it was stuffy and hot. We weren't aware of construction going on next to our unit either. The property person Bev was nice on the phone, but we never met in person, she left the door open with keys in a dish for the doors and gate.She offered for us to use leftover groceries in the fridge on check in, but truly these should have been tossed before the next guest arrived. The kitchen garbage was full smelled of old trash. Bedding seemed old, dusty and only 1 pillow per person, dirty. Refrigerator had old food from prior guest, old ice and opened food in freezer smelled bad. TV buttons without instructions on how to operate and property manager not able to work them, other than the bedroom ones. I thought she would come down and meet us and show us where the pool and garbage were, but we were left to find on our own. We were also unaware of remodeling or construction happening in a nearby unit which was obnoxious. Disappointing stay

The location of this accomodation was beyond our expectations for our dream holiday to Hawaii. The owner was so helpful and made our stay very memorable, even when we checkout out late due to a booking error he was so kind and respectful to deal with and I

The condo was very clean inside and the AC worked great, which was important to my family who is not from/not used to a tropical climate. There was unforeseen roofing repairs going on, but the prop manager was quick to reach out and inform us. It wasn’t a terrible distraction but as mentioned, the communication with the tenants was terrific. The location is great and close to many north shore beaches.

Never knew that this place was so bad,walked in and checked everything the frig was filthy bathroom was so disgusting the bathtub had soap scum . So we had to go to the store and brought cleaning items to scrub the whole bathroom.Outside lanai needs some update we couldn’t sit on lanai to enjoy the beautiful weather the chairs were worn out n bugs were crawling out of it And not to mention above us was super noisy day and night constantly I don’t know what was going on.People banging doors and moving things at night after 10pm and there is no quiet time there six in the morning the people above us made noise our entire stay.We went there for a wonderful time and to relax but our vacation was ruined paid so much money and got a crappie place . I feel sorry for the next renters .If you charge so much for staying why don’t you have nice things also dishes need upgrades no tea bags or coffee. So I would not recommend this place to anyone.Our vacation meant so much to us but it went so bad whole 2 weeks we just had to bite our tongue and stayed.My experience staying at this place was a disappointment.We spend a lot of money to stay at this condo. But was a bad experience . Lots of things need updating in that condo also cleaning needs to be done thoroughly. We were just not so happy with this place at all .

We needed a weekend getaway, and we are so glad we chose this place. It was so quiet the entire weekend. The pool was nearby and we loved just lounging in the sun. The kitchen was well stocked. And the bed was super comfy! The manager easily communicated and check in directions were very clear. We would stay here agin!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this condo. The location to the beach and nearby Ritz Carlton Turtle Bay Resort was a plus. Our view was the first hole of the golf course and also saw lovely sunsets. Nicole was quick to answer any questions. Would stay hear again.

Really nice location on the North Shore - essentially on the Ritz Carlton resort property. We swam on the beach at the Ritz and ate at a couple of their restaurants. Highly recommend Beach House by Roy for a splurge dinner. We drove around to see other beaches. House only has AC in the bedroom, but it is powerful (and loud). Snorkels, beach umbrella and chairs there that we used on the beaches too. Weird smell in the bathroom but otherwise a great stay.

We had a great few days at the Turtle Bay condo.It was exactly how it looked in the photos and was clean and tidy. Cooking was made easy with a well laid out kitchen and utensils.We will be back at some stage and would definitely book this condo again.

10 days of sun , golf, swimming and walking. The unit is great, but not for small children or anyone with mobility issues. The bedroom is in the loft accessed by the spiral stair case is always interesting and particulaly at night. Unit was recently updated. It is compact, but efficient, clean and well located. One of our favorites.

This was the perfect place for two nights in order to access North Shore hiking and attractions. Location could not have been better as we enjoyed the short walk to the Ritz Carlton for dinner and drinks both nights. The condo was just as described, impeccably clean and easy to access. Communication with the host Priscilla was excellent, as we were delayed for our check-in by about 90 minutes, but she was able to assist us getting into the gated parking and condo with no trouble.There are towels and chairs for trips to the beach, which we gladly used. Check-out was also a breeze, with easy to follow instructions.Will definitely suggest this property to family and friends.

Had a wonderful time. Location is great, place is clean and felt really safe, and communication was quick. It was quiet at night, other than the constant starting stopping of air conditioners. That is our single negative about it. Every unit in the area seemed to have super loud window style air conditioners.

We enjoyed a peaceful stay in a great location on the North Shore, within walking distance of Turtle Bay and its beautiful beaches. The beach equipment provided was very helpful for our days by the ocean. The bed and toddler crib were comfortable, making it easy for our little one to rest well.However, the apartment did have some downsides. We encountered bugs like cockroaches and lizards inside, which was a bit unsettling. Also, there is no air conditioning (as listed), so it got quite hot indoors at times.Overall, this place is a good option for those seeking tranquility and proximity to Turtle Bay’s natural beauty, but be prepared for some insect visitors and warm temperatures without AC.

What a wonderful property! All the comforts of home. We could have moved in and been totally comfortable. Fabulous location. What a comfortable couch and ottoman. An awesome bed. Large and well lit bath. Beautiful golf course view outside bedroom sliding glass door and nice patio. Additional private, enclosed patio off of dining room. Welcome Hawaiian chocolates and cookies were a nice touch. We loved our stay here!

Great location. Comfortable and clean. Needs some new appliances - washing machine and dishwasher were so loud we had to leave the property when we were using them. Downstairs shower was very small and I would not recommend it for a tall or larger built person.

Location was great, the cove at the resort had great snorkeling. Priscilla was very attentive with communication. The kitchen is well equipped, condo was clean but we did see a few bugs on the kitchen counters. Be advised you’ll need to take out the trash, strip beds and start laundry upon checking out. All in all it was a comfortable stay.

I wanna start off by saying that location location location is so important when going to an island in Hawaii. Having stayed on the west side having stayed in Waikiki and now having stayed up in the North Shore area has been by far my favourite location to stay. Tamara was a very gracious host really quick responses we had everything we needed including the amenities that were amazing! Now would I say this is a very posh spot? No would I say this is a good affordable alternative? YesThe Home can use a little bit more love and a little bit more cleanliness for the cleaning fee that we pay for but that is just a minor inconvenience overall five out of five stay thank you so much Tamara for opening up your home to us

The reason we chose this place is location and price. I hated that the bathroom was downstairs from the bedroom, but I knew this booking it. There were a few roaches, but that can be expected in Hawaii. Still not pleasant. We didn't cook or hang out much in the condo, but loved being able to go on walks on the beach in the mornings. The air conditioner is downstairs, and you sleep upstairs, so it was toasty sleeping. Overall, it was sufficient, but not a luxury experience. I would not choose to stay here again.

My husband and I chose this North Shore VRBO as base for our exploration of North & East Oahu. It was a lovely condo as pictured with plenty of gear (beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkel gear including flippers, boogie boards, tennis rackets and balls, beach towels, a few sand toys). Next door to the condo is a community pool (didn't use), but did enjoy the free tennis courts. The Ritz Carlton is a 10min walk or 1min drive (parking & beach free but pool requires a 80 day pass). We enjoyed a drink at their pool bar and ate at the Beach House by Roys. There are several other restaurants you can walk to or 8 min drive to wonderful food trucks in Kahuku.The assistant and property manager were very responsive and helpful when we had a minor issue with the door lock. They came and repaired it the same day. Other than that, we had no problems. They left us a welcome gift which was greatly appreciated.The kitchen was well stocked with pots/pans/dishes and had lots of spices and oatmeal, though we just ate breakfast there.The unit does have a washer/dryer though we did not end up using it. The water pressure in shower/tub is good. The mattress was a little softer than I am used to but overall comfortable. We appreciated the fan in the bedroom. There is a TV in bedroom and family room with cable and streaming services. Parking is free and outside the unit. Only negative is thin walls/ceiling so you can hear upstairs/next door. Rest of area very quiet though. We highly recommend!

As soon as the unit that was assigned to me was known to have some kind of maintenance needing to be fixed and was not able to be occupied in, management got me into a unit still in same location, unfortunately didn’t get new unit number till after trying to get in the one that was originally assigned. Number listed in email was very helpful, gentleman got me to the right unit via phone in the dark. Was grateful person responded to me since it was already pass 7pm. The gentleman was kind enough to answer my 2nd call again to answer question about the unit. Great customer service and very thankful someone kind was answering the phone call. Appreciate it! Definitely will have to check this side of the island again when we want to get away from Makakilo. Mahalo and blessings to you!

Can’t beat the cost and location of Kuilima estates if you are staying on the North Shore. Check in process was completely smooth and host was incredibly responsive when we had questions upon check in. Also can’t beat the amenities with 3 pools and 2 tennis courts - we always had them to ourselves! Pictures of the unit are accurate - overall a great home base on the North Shore!
