We came for a short stay as our grandson had a baseball tournament in Waipahu. Everything was as described and we plan to make another trip in the future to just relax and not have to focus on baseball. Our condo was close to Turtle Bay Resort and we walked there every morning for coffee. Our only complaint, which has nothing to do with this lovely condo, was that the people upstairs kept dropping what sounded like heavy weights on the floor and jumping up and down. It sounded like they were doing exercises. At least it was in the morning and not at night. Otherwise the condo was very nice and just as described!

The Ohana ~ Family Home was the perfect space for our family to relax after hiking and exploring the North Shore of Oahu. We enjoyed the amenities, the close access to the pool, and the beautiful surrounding area for early morning walks along the beach. We would definitely make this place our home away from home on future North Shore Oahu stays!

This condo Is located on an unused golf course so the views are calming with lush landscaping. The kids brought a soccer ball and enjoyed running on the grass and playing. The course also provides a nice walking trail for families.
The condo was comfortable with the queen bed and the fold out couch, plenty of space for the four of us. The area is very safe for families.
The drive to some of the best food trucks, sunset beach, and other North Shore gems is a short distance. We appreciated the chairs, cooler and umbrella for the beaches! The parking, pool and trash were all very close and that was great.
I would recommend a few things:
Purchase extra laundry detergent, toilet paper and be sure to bring all of your own soap/shampoo. We ran out of toilet paper thinking we would find more in the condo.
The login information for the wifi was simple but trying to get TV’s to work (login infor for channels like Hulu, Netflix, etc) and the TV in the bedroom never connected. We didn’t spend a ton of time on electronics but it was nice to have with kids.
Instructions for the washing machine is in the hallway table, you might need it. We had to drain it when we got here, which put us a day behind on laundry. We couldn’t get the door open. The property manager was responsive during business hours and offered to send over someone to look at it.
The front door lock doesn’t feel secure, and we didn’t know if the door was truly locked being inside. A deadbolt would be nice.
The screened in porch was very nice, we were unsure about opening the screen doors so we left them closed. The towel rack there was very helpful.
As a frequent traveler, there was no frying pan. There are pot, which made it tricky to make simple items such as eggs. Overall this place was very expensive and you are paying for location. But the place feels like a bare minimum for a VRBO. (Utensils, toilet paper)
We love the north shore! Such a great part of the island!

Loved everything about this property, other than the remodel going on upstairs! Everyday from 8-6 there was heavy construction upstairs (jackhammer, drilling, hammering). Wish we would have been told about this or gotten some money back at least... Our relaxing vacation was not so relaxing sadly.

The washer dryer was broken the entire stay—which was a big problem for us. The cable and WiFi didn’t work the first day—but that was fixed. We couldn’t get the air conditioner to wok in the bedroom either. Not sure if it was broken or user error. Construction going on upstairs. Otherwise a nice place.

Lovely condo, spacious, great loacation, next to nice pool! Well equipped with everything we could need and more! Nice screened in back sun porch. Very clean with lots of towels and linens. Even had beach chairs and beach towels and a drying rack. Only complaint was the dryer wasn’t working. We did 2 loads of laundry before we realized that. So had to hang it to dry for a few days which was a bit annoying. But despite that would highly recommend this condo and location is perfect!

The unit was perfect for our needs, the pool was just around the corner of this unit, and the pool was perfect too. We would rent this unit again in a heart beat.

Everything I was promised it would be and more!
Drove up to a secure gated community. I had trouble finding the reserved parking spot because if you look at the numbering scheme, it should have been 10 parking spots away from the unit. It wasn’t, it was right up front! First spot was very convenient! Went in to a clean and beautifully laid out Condo. Spacious and fully stocked kitchen. Any pot or pan you need is there.
There was even condiments and similar items already in the refrigerator. Very handy when you want to make a sandwich and have to buy condiments you’ll never use up. We added a couple things to it when we left. Kind of a “pay it forward” theme.
The one thing I would change would be the washing machine. It sounds like a freight train during the spin cycle. We just planned for that and it wasn’t a problem.
Location is great. We used it as our home base whether we went East or West. Much to see and do in both directions.
When we visit Oahu again, we will definitely try and stay here.
Five star recommendation!!!
Thanks so much.

Great Experience Overall
Nicole was great to work with and very accommodating. However we were a little disappointed the dryer did not work without some special maneuvering which I had to contact Nicole about. Also, the overhead light in the bathroom was burnt out and there was a wide vertical line on the screen of the TV. I know, first world problems. However, the bed was awesome to sleep on, very clean accommodation and being beside the pool was great. We would definitely go back!

Well maintained apartment, very good location!
My family had a wonderful time here. The kitchen, bedroom and bathroom were all in good condition and very comfortable. We couldn’t get the wifi to work, but that was the only issue we had. Convenient location next to the pool with all of the amenities of Turtle Bay within reach. Highlight for us was riding horses along the beach and seeing a Monk Seal!

Beautifully decorated and clean
Excellent stay. Great communication and wonderful value for our few days on the North Shore. Excellent host who emailed to make sure we had all we needed but we just needed a place to crash as we were so busy. Apartment well stocked with games cards books but we didn't spend much time at the condo. Didn't even have time to visit the pool. Great stay and I would stay there again

Excellent property for a great vacation on the North Shore!
Nicole's place was a perfect getaway and 'home away from home' for our family of four (two little ones). Stayed in the middle of August, weather was perfect, breeze thru the condo was nice, and made the stay pleasant even without the need of the a/c that was readily available in the bedroom. Beach supplies, to include beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling gear, and beach towels made the day's at the beach stress free and affordable. Fully stocked kitchen appliances allowed multiple options if desiring to eat in as opposed to hitting up the multiple restaurants at the nearby resort that are, in my opinion overpriced. Your best bet is to stick with the multiple food trucks that are within minutes of the condo. Directly by the private access pool allowed for a quick dip in the early mornings or late evenings with ample privacy. All in all, I would recommend this to anyone venturing to the north shore for their next getaway. Mahalo, Nicole!

Beautifully appointed unit with great location and amenities.
Was looking for a place for me and my friend to enjoy a girls getaway for the week. This place was perfect! Great location (bottom floor and right next to the pool) which worked well since we didnʻt have to climb any stairs with all of our luggage. The amenities, furniture and fixtures, etc. were great as well. The queen bed in the bedroom was super comfortable (kind of high if you are a short person might need a stool), the pillows were fluffy, the sofa in the living room was super comfortable as well. I thoroughly enjoyed having A.C. in the bedroom! Even with tropical breezes, summers can be hot so that was a great treat to have. Also the enclosed lanai allowed us to keep the sliding door open and extend the living space which was great. Overall we had a fabulous time.
Only drawback was when first checking in. The unit is a tad bit far from the entry gate and you need to send one person in to walk to the unit, open the lockbox, get the key and open the unit to retrieve the key fob which will allow you to open the gate. Tricky thing was there is not really anywhere to pull off, as I was blocking the entry waiting for my friend to retrieve the key fob and other guests/owners want to enter. First world problems, but thought Iʻd just share. But the great thing is that once driving in, found out that our parking space was really close by to the unit so that was awesome :-)

Perfect location
My friend was getting married at turtle bay resort. We stayed at this rental for a fraction of the cost than it would have been to stay at the resort. The location is walking distance from the resort. There's a washer and dryer that we needed and free parking as well. It's perfect for a small family or a couple. I would definitely stay here again. The owner was even nice enough to let us check in early and check out late.

We had an excellent stay in this condo!
The landlord really went out of her way to make our stay comfortable. The location is perfect and the North Shore is really the place to be on this island. We enjoyed ourselves and highly recommend staying here.

perfect weekend getaway
The condo was great! Advertisement was spotted on. Furnishings was good with plenty of towels and everything needed to make out weekend getaway a hit. Access to turtlebay resort pools was nice and having the heated pool right next door was good.

Wonderful location with all the conveniences.
Nicole's property was the perfect location for our three day stay at Turtle Bay. The outlook was lovely and the condo was full of everything we needed for a North Shore getaway, including being only a few minutes away from the famous beaches of Pipeline, Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach and all the yummy shrimp trucks. A clean and gorgeous condo, and we hope to return.
