We loved our stay at the condo! Great location close to a bunch of amazing beaches and Kahuku eateries. The walk to the beach at turtle bay is an easy destination for afternoons and evenings, and the pools were so warm and beautiful. We had a great time with our four year old daughter - she loved the “princess stairs” going up to the loft, and there was a baby gate already available at the condo to remind her not do go down the stairs by herself. It was truly a home away from home - we will stay there again if we have a chance in the future.

Nice place Needed another chair in Living Room. Tub was slow draining, also slippery.We paid 275.00 for cleaning and we had to do most of it before we left. Not impressed.

This is a very nice property. It is equipped with everything from kitchen to beach and pool gear. Perfect for a family of 4. There are stairs and steps, and the loft's ac unit was a bit moldy. Overall, it was a positive experience.

The property was beautiful and on the middle of al our activities on the North Shore. Great access to beaches and close to PCC. We had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. Received all the info we needed ahead of time and instructions were easy to follow. Would stay here again!

Great location. Clean and comfortable. Had all the amenities we were looking for, close to beaches, pool, pickleball, golf courses, and many other sites. Thank-you, highly recommended great communication.

We enjoyed our stay. The only down side was there is only 1 a/c unit in the primary bedroom. The upstairs loft was in the upper 80's even with all the fans and a/c unit working.

The location was spectacular. Snorkeling at Turtle Bay was great. Definitely in walking distance. Having the golf course outside the back lanai was nice. It is currently closed down for repairs.The place was clean from head height down, but the layers of dust higher up (kitchen cabinets, bathroom fixtures, A/C units) was a draw back. The cleaners need to hit those high places!The full kitchen, washer/dryer, coffee grinder and maker, and dishwasher were all appreciated. The beds were great, but be careful of the bunk bed area if you have little kids. The windows into the 2nd story are fully open and could pose a fall issue with littles. No worries for us as were only had adults.

The condo was nice and clean. Amenities were well provided for. Beach chairs and beach towels are also provided. Good water pressure from the showers and the faucets. The beds and the couch were comfortable. The neighborhood was also quiet so you get to relax if you plan on staying in.
There's a couple of food options if you walk closer to the hotel. You can also do a short drive out to eat or get delivery. Beach access is also by the hotel which is around a 10-15 min walk from the condo.
The host also provided good communication. He sent us check-in and out instructions ahead of time. He also notified us about the construction situation on the property.
Overall, a highly recommended place to stay.

Terrible. Service was terrible, communication was horrendous if i could give them -5 stars I would. It’s so bad i didn’t even get to stay there for the days i had. You’re better off going to the Marriott. They cancelled my room and said they were going to upgrade me due to the unit not being available but says i have to pay for the upgrade that they offered. Do you know if you offer the upgrade it’s usually complimentary? No they said i still had to pay j told them no. It wouldn’t work. Then they tried to say they had a unit at the same price on the other side of turtle bay. Why didn’t you offer me that first? Ended up cancelling and had to fight them for my refund of my deposit. Horrible customer service! Do not ever plan to go through Kuilima estates.

adequate facilities. comfortable bed & sofa bed. good number of towels. also w/d was key!had some trouble checking in, as the front door combo was not what was originally communicated. thankfully, a security guard was able to connect with management and get us in the unit. whew!however, the unit was clearly dated, with lots of dings and nicks, and worn items. also, each day, we happened to find one dead cockroach. one by the dining table, one under media console, one under the a/c, one in kitchen :(

We really enjoyed the location of this rental — it’s in a prime spot with easy access to all the North Shore amenities and Turtle Bay Resort. The area is peaceful, and the condo came fully stocked with basics plus thoughtful extras like a beach umbrella and chair. The washer and dryer were a great bonus, and the bed (even without a frame) was very comfortable.The condo was clean, though it does feel a bit worn in places. One thing to note is that the brown bath and facial towels had an odd odor once wet, even after washing — replacing these would be an easy improvement. The AC policy of turning it off during the day meant the condo was quite warm when we returned, so keeping it on a low setting might make guests more comfortable.Overall, this was a convenient and well-equipped home base for exploring the North Shore, and with a few small updates, it could be even better

The owners are amazing. We’ll start there. Property is perfectly located to soak in all the north shore has to offer and if chaos is what you seek, it’s a beautiful and relaxing drive to the Waikiki and Honolulu area. Property serves as a perfect base camp and at night, open the screen doors and a beautiful tropical breeze blows with no need for AC. Little girl and I loved our stay!

We had good communication except when we needed help with the sheets. The upstairs sheets were stained and when we checked in around 10:00 P.M. we text the two contacts and didn't get a response until after 11:00 when we had retired. Not wanting to sleep on what looked like blood stained sheets, we took them off and slept with our own blankets. Because I didn't want to lower your rating, I still gave 5 stars overall because the rest of the property was clean with beautiful surroundings, and the check in was easy. We should have probably been given a percentage off for our issue with the sheets though. Thank-you.

Great place and location if you want a quite place in north shore, turtle bay resort…10 mins walk to Ritz-carlton hotel and beach, we played pickle ball and tennis, place is clean and all you need is there. 15 mins drive to nearest foodland grocery and nearest north shore beaches. Sofa bed is good, ac in the bedroom works well and ac in the living room is also working. I would recommend this place and would love to come back next year.

Overall it was a very nice stay. It was hard to set the AC to a comfortable temp (tended to be too warm or too cold). I also expected there to be a bath tub based on photos that I viewed back in April when I made the booking, but there were only showers. I appreciated the communication and cleanliness of the unit. The location was also great being a short walk to the beach.

The couches were a cozy place to hang as a family when we weren’t adventuring around the island. We opened the front and patio doors daily to enjoy the fantastic breeze.

We were very disappointed in the state of our rental. It was dirty throughout, including bathroom glasses, floors and counters. Kitchen towels were stained and all kitchen items had to be cleaned first. We asked for an early check in and didn’t get the gate code to get in until just before regular check in time and didn’t get refunded. Communication was terrible.

Wonderful place to stay in the Turtle Bay area. There are tons of things to do and see on the north shore of Oahu but if you're only interested in the beach and pool then this is a great place to stay as well. The property was spacious and clean and they even had beach equipment for their guests. It was a bit warm in the middle of July (shocking I know)- but there are window air conditioning units and some fans that were able to move the air around sufficiently.

You can't beat the location of this rental. Condo was clean, good communication with property manager, had good access to clean and well maintained pool, tennis and pickleball courts. Four stars because this rental could use updating. Medicine cabinet in main bath is pealing, tub /shower is warn, one of the stairs going up to the loft is off set and could be a fall hazard. Also, having notes taped all over the place with rules is unsightly, could been done much better. Having the book of rules should be enough.

Great location and the property was clean and comfortable. The owner was super helpful to provide advice when a tsunami was headed for the island. I was surprised but not shocked that there was no A/C (the listing is accurate). There were 3 fans available but given the heat, I do wish there were a few more!

We loved everything about this stay! Check-in was super easy and the location is a nice short walk to the beach and close to the pool. The unit is very clean and the beds were very comfortable. We were there during a tsunami warning/evacuation and both the owner and property manager reached out to make sure we were ok and stayed in touch with updates throughout the evacuation period. We look forward to staying here again in the future.

Newly remodeled one bedroom. VERY CLEAN. Loved the beach chairs, cooler, umbrella and toys! Plenty of pillows and blankets. Murphy bed is very comfortable with a memory foam mattress. It is kinda tight in the living room for adults watching TV (it was shark week while we were there so Tv was a must lol)! . Of note: this condo is the furthest away from turtle Bay, but none of them are too far to walk!

After spending 4 nights in Waikiki, we spent the remaining 4 nights at Hale Honu. Laila was very responsive (even communicating Evacuation instructions during the Tsunami warning!). The condo had everything that we needed, including some fun beach toys, chairs and umbrellas. The location was a quick drive to the North Shore beaches, as well as a short walk to Turtle Bay and the respective walking trails.We had plenty of room for 4 adults, and would definitely stay here again.
