This place and location was perfect for us. Inside the Turtle Bay resort with access to beach’s, walking trails, golf, and Lei Lei’s restaurant (really good dinner), there was plenty to do just there. Then, you find yourself minutes from some of the most famous surfing beaches in the world! All while having a laid back rural vibe where the pace of an ordinary day just melts away. We love this part of Oahu and hope to visit again and again. The unit was well equipped with everything we needed for a (3) week stay. Our host Mike was fantastic. Checking in on us to be sure all was in order. Available immediately for the (1) minor issue we had with the door code. He and his team were fantastic. Thanks for a great experience Mike!!

The condo was perfect for our week long stay exploring the North Shore in January. It was very clean and comfortable for us (2 adults, 2 teens, and a child). We loved the location as we spent most days exploring towns and beaches between Haleiwa and Laie. We could walk to Turtle Beach which was really nice for wading, snorkeling, and searching for crabs in the rocks. Plenty of food options within a short drive, we liked the food trucks in Kahuku and the restaurant right by Turtle Beach was really tasty, though expensive. The hosts communicated great and checking in and out was easy.

Great place - very handy to Turtle Bay resort and the nearby walks and beaches. The apartment is quite spacious and Ginger was very good to deal with - would recommend a stay here.

We were very pleased with our stay here in Turtle Bay. We were able to take advantage of both the local areas as well as some further away. The accommodations were great. Very comfortable and clean. We would recommend it to our friends and family.

This VRBO rental had some positive aspects, such as its proximity to the beaches and being located in a secure gated community. However, our overall experience was extremely disappointing due to the condition of the property and the host’s behavior.The property itself is rundown and in need of significant repairs. During our stay, insects got into our food, which was very unpleasant. Additionally, the rental was poorly stocked—there was only one roll of toilet paper for our entire stay, and no bath soap or body wash was provided.The host was the biggest issue. Two days before check-in, he sent us an overwhelming list of strict rules, including not staining the towels, not running the air conditioner during the day, and limiting laundry use. He also double-booked our last day and pressured us to leave early, which we reluctantly did.To make matters worse, after our stay, the host attempted to charge us an extra 3 per day for electricity, claiming we exceeded his estimated usage. He also repeatedly hassled my wife about a payment she had already made, forcing her to send multiple screenshots as proof.While the location is great, the poor condition of the property and the host’s unprofessional behavior made this a terrible experience. I would strongly recommend avoiding this rental—it’s not worth the stress and frustration.

We enjoyed our stay as we were close to many activities. The only drawback was we enjoy cooking and the kitchen cutlery was mot optimum. Recommend the condo for a telaxing time.

We really enjoyed the resort grounds and the easy access to the beach. The restaurants at the resort were good but limited. The North Shore is a remote area so access to surrounding areas can be tricky with the traffic.

It was clean and exactly as described. Lots of beach accessories, cleaning supplies, toiletries, coffee and some basic seasonings. It was close to the beaches and TB Resort. Quiet area and away from the bustle of Waikiki and Honolulu yet not too far if you want to visit.

The pride that the owner has in this property is reflected in every room, with many lovely & thoughtful comforts and extras that give it distinction and created a welcome respite for us. Outstanding!

We were very lucky to have found this spot - - overlooking the Fazio Golf Course and within a very short walking distance to the golf shop. We spent four days, two of them playing golf, one travel day and one day exploring the coastline @ Turtle Bay. Whenever I had a question about something, Helena was very quick to respond. Overall such a lovely experience that we are already talking about coming back next year at the same time. It truly, truly feels like the way Hawaii used to be. Thank you for making our stay enjoyable!

Well maintained property with the best views of all the condos nearby. This is not one of those condos facing your neighbors and the parking lot.Situated on the second floor, the unit gave us privacy and even a view of the breakers in the distance.We are not golfers, but the undulating green fairways catch the low-angle sunlight in wonderful ways. Then there are the many birds, including albatross.Loved the access to trails in all directions. And Kahuku Farms is just 5 minutes down the road.Great cross-ventilation and window screens meant no A/C needed (Jan).Owners were particularly helpful and communicative. We are grateful.

We had a great stay at the property, the location is great, the neighborhood very safe and friendly and it’s an easy walk to the beach and the Turtle Bay resort and restaurants.The property itself is clean but a bit dated. The AC units are very loud and some of the furniture broken. We kept having to fix the toilet from the downstairs bathroom. Overall it’s pretty good.

Kiley was extremely accessible. Love the first floor location. The bed was super comfortable. The lanai was beautifully facing the golf course. Can’t thank Kiley enough.

We have stayed in this complex many times. Can’t beat the location and the resort. This place was clean and furnished nicely. Kitchen had the basics. Will look to stay here again.

Location was great, property was as advertised. Easy walk to Kuilima Cove and to the golf course bar & grill. It is an apartment, and vibrant kids upstairs meant it wasn't always peaceful. Recommend!

We absolutely loved staying here with every little detail and every little thing you would need. The close walk to Turtle Bay resort is fantastic. The close drive to beautiful beaches and great places to eat is nice. Bonus points for the surf boards and snorkel gear you can use!

Stayed a week with our family. The listing is accurate. Great location with lots of activities close by. The chest full of beach and sports equipment was really nice. The property manager (Bitsy) was great and super responsive when we had questions.

I found my condo comfortable, clean and excellent for my needs...The owner has done a nice job modernizing the appliances and bathroom. If you're looking for a resort hotel, this is not it but rather a nice comfortable condo that meet my needs quite well. Thanks to all for the upkeep.

January 2025

Place was nice. Very clean well kept pool and gardens. The dishwasher at the property does not work. It was supposed to be fixed but was not. Communication with the office was never answered nor was a price discount given. VRBO said the check in information would be sent out 3 days ahead. It was sent out the day before once we had started travelling, so had to find a wifi connection to retrieve. The accommodation’s wifi password given in the check in documents was not the proper password. We found one on the modem by the TV that worked. Several questions about where to find the bedding for the 3rd person and a proper wifi password were never answered. The office takes all weekend and holiday days off, so plan your stay to check in during office hours. When you are an international traveller without a phone plan an emergency phone number is of little use

We loved staying at the Hanau HIdeway. It was newly remodeled and the kids loved the bunk beds. This is a great place for a family to stay on the North Shore.

I loved the location of the property. The condo neighborhood was quiet and location to the beach and turtle bay restaurants was fantastic. Only downside was the beds, too soft for us. The condo provided beach items which was really nice. The condo was comfortable. Mahalo!

Location is the benefit of this unit. Staying on the North Shore is a plus. The pool and the view of the golf course was nice. There is WIFI, but there was no access to streaming services like Netflix on the television so bring your own device. Wendy was very responsive throughout the process. Aloha.

We had a great few days exploring the North Shore area. Communication from the host, Bernie, was excellent. The apartment has everything you need.

Beautiful condo, exactly as listed. The check in/ driving instructions were very detailed which was awesome as our flight did not arrive until midnight! Very well stocked kitchen with everything you need. Walking distance to a gorgeous beach that never ends. We had an issue with the Wifi initially, but resolved it with help from the owner. Very happy with our stay!

We stayed 11 nights in Jan 2025. Party of 5: 2 adults, 2 adult children & 1 teenager.The Pros:The condo was extremely clean.2 of the air conditioners worked well.Security was good.Nice & quiet.Internet worked good.Parking was a breeze.This entire property does not even have a smoking area - so no smelling those nasty cigarettes at all!! Located close to SHRIMP TRUCKS! When we reported a problem, it was addressed promptly.The Cons:The master bedroom mattress was so hard it was painful to sleep on. The second bedroom mattress was so soft you sink into it. Felt like Goldilocks!The second bedroom air conditioner did not work.The shower in the main bathroom had firehose type pressure, uncomfortable to use at all.There were no common spices, cooking oil or baking sheets in the kitchen.The dryer vents INSIDE the condo, so when you use the dryer the whole condo gets hot and humid.Be advised: there are no beach chairs, boogie boards, cooler or beach umbrella for guests to use. We purchased these items & gave them away when we left.Overall nice place & would stay here again.

January 2025

Very comfortable and nicely decorated. Loved the beach chairs and snorkeling gear the host provided. The only issue was the light from the unit next to us shined into the loft bedroom. The room needed a curtain to block the light. Otherwise, overall a great stay.

January 2025

Had everything you needed for a comfortable vacation rental. Host is very accommodating and responsive. The only cons are the unit is older with thin curtains and tiles floors that are hard to keep clean. Also, the golf resort groom the course very early at 5:00 AM with a very noisy machine, shining bright lights into the unit. This happened twice during our stay.

We very much enjoyed our stay! It was wonderful to relax on the lanai each morning and have our coffee! We even saw a gecko
Nancy R.
January 2025

Hands down the nicest condo I have ever rented anywhere. Directions and codes arrived on time, no stress about arrival details. Open the door and relax! The condo was spotless, with hotel quality sheets and towels, amenities we didn't expect as well as TONS of toys. We did add more masks and snorkels to the stock LOL. High end appliances, very nice decorations and one reason I chose this unit, functionall mini-split and room AC plus fans and screen lanai. Mahalos for everything, I would rent here again in a heartbeat.

January 2025

We had a great stay here. A short walk to a nice beach, the Turtle Bay Resort hotel, and some nice walking paths. The house was well set up and equipped with all sorts of beach gear. The only thing that would make it better, would be if there was an outdoor dining table. We would stay here again.

Walking distance to pool, beach and Turtle Bay Ritz Carlton. Just need to be agile enough to go up & down the spiral staircase.

January 2025

Property is well located, just a few hundred feet from Turtle Bay Resort. The place is very clean and has everything you could possibly need. They have high quality pots and pans, coffee maker, blender, etc. Appliances are clean and new. It just seems that they have provided you with the same things they would have bought for themselves. The wi-fi is great and they have all of the channels you would want on the tv. The couches, chairs and beds are very comfortable. The bathrooms are very clean. We never had to contact the owners because we had no issues. I would recommend staying here.
