Loved this was place was perfect for our young family. Appreciated the beach toys, easy walk to turtle bay beach, loads of great places nearby. Clean and tidy great to have washing machine and dryer. Would come again!

We are very happy with accommodations and felt very comfortable. Great location and we spent little time in the room, we all felt comfortable and slept well.

The unit was clean and a good location. The unit could stand to be updated. The bed was comfortable. The check-in instructions were good except that the gate code was wrong. Enjoyed the golf coarse and the Turtle Bay resort restaurants, and beach.

Our family of four, including two teenagers, just got back from vacationing in this condo. We loved it! The condo was clean and well stocked with plenty of towels, beach gear, and kitchen items. We usually made breakfast in the condo to save money. We used the laundry several times, and it was fine. The complex is very nice and felt safe. The location is a short drive to the Polynesian Cultural Center, Waimea Valley, and other North shore attractions. The beach on property is rocky and not a good swimming beach. We liked the Hukilau Beach in Laie because it was sandy and good for body boarding. Hukilau Beach is about 10 minutes away. It has a rinse off shower and parking lot, but no bathroom.
When we first arrived, our gate code wasn't working. The problem was easily solved with a call to the caretaker who promptly returned the call. Also, we couldn't figure out how to work the TV. We didn't care enough to call about it, though, because we were not on vacation to watch TV.
Our only complaint is the poor qualify of sofa sleeper. One sofa was a futon style, and the comfort was what you'd expect from a futon. The other sofa sleeper was a regular sofa sleeper. The mattress for it was horrible! It was super thin and very uncomfortable. Our teens are used to sleeping on sofa sleepers, and this one was the worst one we've had. The owner really should get a better sofa sleeper.
Overall, this condo is fantastic for a small family!

Great time at the condo with my family. Being near the Turtle Bay resort and reef-protected beach was a big plus for our family. Would recommend. Mahalo.

Nice, quiet, clean condo on the golf course. I would stay there again

This place was perfect for our family of 5’s three night stay on the North Shore. It was well stocked - including shampoo and conditioner, laundry detergent, kitchen soap, basic spices, and kitchen supplies. Plenty of towels - including beach towels! It took us till night 2 to realize there is an AC unit for the living room which made nighttime for our 3 kids much more enjoyable. It could use a little more silverware - there wasn’t enough for our family of 5 to all eat with reasonable sized utensils at one meal (specifically talking forks here), but that was minor.
Some of the place looks a little worn and tired, but it was very clean and a perfect stay. Please note that the two double sofa beds more effectively fit one person, as the larger sofa bed is a little saggy so two people on it really doesn’t work. Our youngest slept on the couch cushions set up as a bed on the floor and it worked great. Everyone was very comfortable. But if we had all teenagers or older people, I would not want to fit more than 4 people in this unit. If you have one or more younger kids, this is very comfortable for 5 people.
Definitely would stay here again and definitely recommend!

We arrived to a dirty condo that had not been cleaned from the previous renters. There were dirty bed sheets and wet towels on the bed and couches. Bathroom and kitchen were dirty. When I contacted the property manager he was surprised to hear this and realized he had forgotten to get the cleaner in that morning. He said he would reimburse us for the night but he never did. We had to drive a total of ten miles extra to a hotel in a location we did not want to stay, with no kitchen and not near Turtle Bay. He kept evading our questions about reimbursement for the night we didn't get to stay there and didn't meet us at check out as he said he would to give us the details about the reimbursement. All in all it was a bad experience because he didn't handle the situation well or give us anything in return for all the trouble we went through. The place itself was fine, if a little worn and the binder with information had nothing in it except out of date codes and the wrong Wifi passwords. You have to check your email for the right gate codes and Wifi.

We had everything we needed to have a relaxing and perfect family time. Pictures are spot on as to what the house offers.

The setting is great, but the interior was pretty beat up. Peeling cabinet veneer, mold in shower, etc.

Our family of 3 had a delightful time here. Everything was exactly as listed! Wonderful location!

This condo was perfect for the location for what we were looking for. We love the North Shore. Short drive to so many of the fun activities that it has to offer. The condo itself worked, but was lacking some deep cleaning for my preference and also some additional supplies for a family of 5 staying 9 nights. For cleanliness it had hair in the corner by the shower edges on the outside and around the entry doorway edges there was also a lack of cleaning. The wall behind the kitchen sink had splatters. Pictures on the wall were crooked. Dust buildup behind TVs, fronts of the stove and microwave could be cleaned better, etc. I am a little picky as I clean vacation rentals, but these are things I look for to know the job has been well done. The condo in general could use a deep clean. Not so dirty I wouldn't stay, but would have felt better knowing a little more care was put into it. For supplies, we were short pillows, each of us only had 1 pillow each, would have been nice to have a couple more for comfort, also additional blankets. There were only 2 blankets and then sheets. We had 3 teens sleeping on the sofa sleepers and floor, the main bed only had a sheet and bedspread. I get cold at night, so had to sleep in socks and sweatshirt to stay warm enough. We had to buy additional toliet paper and kitchen trash bags. We were provided with only 1 trash bag for the kitchen. They did have tennis and pickle ball supplies which was a bonus.

We loved our time here - especially how well equipped the place was. From boogie boards, to cutting boards, they had everything we needed. The condo was exactly as described and the location was perfect. Would definitely stay again!

The condo and location was great. The condo was clean, well stocked and maintained. Beautiful property and clean pools.
The only issue was the neighbors above us. Quiet hours are supposed to be from 9pm-8am and strictly enforced. The neighbors above were loud past quiet hours and often woke us up by banging between 5-6am. Fortunately we are from the east coast and the time change made it bare able to be woken up that early. Would definitely stay again though. Highly recommend.
4.8
Everything was excellent.
Keep in mind that this is a one bedroom home. Besides the queen bed the other sleeping options are a futon and a sleeper sofa. This worked fine for our 3 teenaged kids, but having 5 adults would be more challenging.

This was our first time in Hawaii and this place and location were perfect. It’s quiet enough to hear the birds each morning when we got up. We were able to take advantage of the beaches in the morning and basically have them to ourselves. We saw turtles in Kawela Bay, saw in Keike beach, walked many of the beautiful trails around the property, and had a nice place to stay while we enjoyed our adventures. Lots of treasured memories.

Just perfect for our family with little kids. Very very happy. Loved the laundry and big kitchen.

Overall everything was nice. We did have to kill a roach as soon as we walked in but never saw another during our 3 days. The information binder has no help whatsoever for surrounding places to eat, things to do, or see. The community was nice and quiet. Communication with the owner was iffy, but not terrible. If you’re looking for a good place to stay on the North Shore and already know what you want to do or are willing to research it yourself, this place is great. It is close to plenty of beach, food, and tourist options.

We are a family of 4, kids ages 8 and 5. This place had a ton of kid beach stuff, chairs, and an umbrella which was super helpful. It even had tennis rackets and balls. The location was great, easy walk to the beach, maybe 10 mins, even for the kids, and the pool was right across the street. We did bring our own wagon which helped transport stuff to and from the beach. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The location on the North shore was perfect.

We really enjoyed this property. It was convenient to where we wanted to be, had enough room for our family. Nice kitchen etc. My only complaint was that there was a strong odor in the bathroom. Not sure what it was but it never went away. It would not keep me from staying here again. Other than that it was just perfect.

We stayed here with our 3 teenagers. It was such a welcome change from the noise of Waikiki. The VRBO was clean and had everything we needed in the kitchen and for the beach! We loved that there was a washing machine/dryer. We’d stay there again!

The condo was nice, the location was perfect for my stay, the pool was lovely as well. However, the air-conditioning in the bed room was right at the head of the bed and the turning on and off of the machine throughout the night was not pleasant. The garbage disposal was broken and there were not enough towels as well as towels that were left in the washing machine.

We had a great stay in this unit. Perfect location to explore North Shore. Within walking distance to Turtle bay resort, golf, walking trails and hidden beach. Very clean, spacious and well equipped. Host was easy to communicate with, check in was easy and a lovely welcome pack was much appreciated, thank you. Property has 3 semi heated pools to enjoy. Highly recommend this property to anyone staying on the North Shore.

This condo was an excellent home base for our 8 day stay! Very clean, spacious, well stocked. Awesome community in a beautiful location. Unlike the super crowded and commercial area of Waikiki this is true Hawaiian country. Having grown up on Oahu, I absolutely love the North Shore. My favorite place in the world. Great restaurants and food trucks within 15 minutes drive over in Laie. Parking is included and I do recommend you rent a car for your entire stay. Aloha and Mahalo nui Loa! We will definately be back every time we return home!!

Short walk to Turtle Bay beaches, resort and restaurants. Great sunset on the point in front of the resort. Loved the North shore area. We happened to be there when The Big. Eddie surf tournament was held. 40 to 50 foot waves. Great weather in January. Around 80 everyday. Awesome area.

Amazing place to stay in comfort away from the hustle and bustle of waikiki. Beautiful, lush grounds. Walking distance to great facilities at turtle bay (including pony rides). Food trucks and beautiful beaches within minutes up the road if you tire of turtle bay. Clean, dpacious accommodation with lovely views to the golf course, native birds and gekos. We had all 3 pools to ourselves during the stay and enjoyed cooking breakfasts and dinners in the lovely kitchen. Only issue was the gatekeeper did not answer buzzes and calls on checkins leaving us stranded (and a little nervous) at the gate, but everything perfect after that. The commentary hawaiian snacks and ice in the freezer were lovely touches. Thanks for an amazing stay!

We had a great stay! Everything was just as pictured. Thank you!!!
