North shore quite.

This place was everything and more than I excited my first time in Hawaii ! I was able to get in the property with no problem at all ! The place was very clean and tidy not to mention the bed was super comfortable. The hosts provided beach chairs, a little cooler, blankets and extra towels in the closet. They had all of the cooking utensils needed . Although I would say a cookie pan would be a good addition. :) The shower in this condo was awesome after many long days in the water and under the sun. They provided a travelers host book with tips of where to eat, see and visit which made me feel very welcomed. The Lanai with a brick foundation was a beautiful spot to have your morning coffee and listen to the wildlife and maybe see a gecko or two. With the little green grassy backyard that made it feel like your own which led to the golf course and the little quick rain storms that come and go- I would 100% recommend this place to any first or long time travelers to Oahu !!

There was a little construction going on above. But that’s only temporary. Which should not affect the rating of this condo. It just happened to land on my trip there. Anyone who doesn’t book this place is a fool!

This condo complex is very close to Turtle Bay beach, which is as protected as a beach can be on the North Shore in December - when beach access parking was full, we could just walk to the beach. There are short hikes and bike trails nearby that originate at Turtle Bay Resort, and no signs prohibiting walking on the golf course paths. Decor is impeccable and there was everything we needed without the junk. It was comparable to a high-end timeshare in terms of appearance and organization. This was also the only place available on the North Shore that had a pool and a kitchen. We did not use the pool much, and only discovered on our last day that it is heated to a very pleasant temperature. Owner/manager have done a good job maintaining this unit - I've read reviews from several years ago that mentioned it was recently renovated, these may well have been written several weeks ago - bedding/ towels/ furniture - everything was in excellent and new condition.

The unit is on the first floor, so there is a view of the golf course and backyard, but not too far out. Birds come to the birdfeeder, so that's a plus if you want to watch local birds, but you can't look very far out. There is a helicopter pad a little to the North, within the Turtle Bay Resort, they could be very briefly heard on/off starting after 7am - this would probably apply to most units in this complex, and not just this condo. This was not bothersome to me, as 7am HST = 11am CST, and we spent very little time inside the rental. I didn't hear any after sunset or during the times we were sleeping.
