This place was great! Everything was clean and fresh, there were plenty of linens, beach gear; even condiments and spices. The ac was greatly appreciated. The owners gave fantastic instructions and communications on a couple items were quick and promptly addressed. Definitely recommend and would stay here again!

Looking for something away from busy congestion but close enough to local food and convenience stores. Walked to the beach every day for snorkeling and just relaxing on the sand. Would stay here again without hesitation.

Overall, our stay was good. The condo is located in a very nice area and convenient to other activities on the island. It was nice to have a/c and proximity to the pool was convenient. The condo wasn’t a clean as expected. Also the kitchen could use a few more cooking items. I feel the price was a bit high for what we got. My extended family rented a condo just like this one during the same week for much less.

Place was awesome. Property manager awesome.

We wanted to stay outside of Waikiki and this location near Turtle Bay was perfect. We were near the beaches, close to some of the towns but far enough away where it wasn’t overly busy.

Basic, clean, great location but in need of upgrades.

We dealt with ants the first 3 days, in the kitchen, on the walls, and crawling all over. We did contact the manager and had rapid results as she came over with ant spray. By that time, it took about 3 days for the infestation to get under control.

We had a quick trip to Hawaii to visit our daughter. The condo was nice, clean and the AC was really nice to have. The location was perfect, within walking distance to the resort and trails and a short drive from Kahuku, Haleiwa. The condo felt very safe. We will definitely look at staying here again!

This was a comfortable condo for our family of 4. Everything worked well and A/C kept the entire unit cool. Very quiet, easy access to all North Shore activities. The king bed is on the firm side, but all reviews stated so. Would stay here again.

Property manager was super friendly & quick to send the directions to the location with instructions on how to get in which was pretty easy. Kitchen was small but functional with the exception of maybe needing a few more pots & pans in different sizes & some main spices to cook with. As soon as I suggested that to the manager she was quick to respond and let me know she would definitely take that into consideration for future guests. The one thing to note was the 2 beds & pillows in the loft were so comfy! Probably some of the most comfortable beds & pillows I have ever felt! For that alone I was a happy guest! I also loved the small folding tables provided in the loft closet so my son was able to use one to do homework while we were there & the other I used to put my luggage on. I also noticed there was a pack and play in that closet so that was a nice bonus for a family that may be traveling with an infant/small child. Air conditioning worked good as long as you had the fan on also so that it pushed the cold air up to the loft. We were there for a high school football game. The team was staying at Turtle Bay Resort so this was a convenient location for that as the walk to the resort was about 10 minutes or so & if driving was super quick. The Turtle Bay Resort beach is public access, but there are so many better beaches on the North Shore so we drove to others most of the time. There is a great one not a far drive with huge sea turtles that come up on the sand to sunbath.

The property was beautifully located on the turtle bay golf course and in walkable distance to the hotel and beach, but a car is required to head to snorkeling spots and grocery shops. The property was lovely, very clean and big enough for a large family. I highly recommend visiting this accommodation.

We had a wonderful stay at this condo. It's right on the golf course and although we didn't play, we did utilize the course for miles of jogging in the mornings. Cutting across the course it was a short 5 minute walk to the ocean and there are miles of beach to explore past Turtle Bay. The condo itself had been partially remodeled, which the photos accurately reflect, but temper your expectations a bit as this condo complex (and all of Turtle Bay) is a bit dated overall and has a 1980's vibe going. That said, it's been kept up well for its age, but if you are after the modern look, then Waikiki might be a better place to look. The condo was well appointed with a great selection of beach equipment, small cooler, and kitchenware. Note that you will want to bring your own bar soap as we missed this was not one of the standard amenities. There are 3 pools on the property, but note that they are fairly small, so lap swimming doesn't work well. Air conditioning in the master bedroom was pretty loud, so if you are a light sleeper plan on leaving the bedroom door open and use the living room AC instead.

We enjoyed the turtle Bay community would stay again on the North Shore. Condo itself was clean a little dated, but an excellent value for the area.

the place had everything we needed to relax as a family. Tons of walking trails, fun pools, and close to all north shore activities.

We had a great time at this rental. Everything was as described. There were some minor issues that were handled promptly by the manager. She was very responsive which made things great. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice condo for our family of 4. We just used this as a home base for a few days on the north shore. We thought the beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked well except for the loft was very warm. The ceiling fan didn’t work and they needed 2 fans to work the temperature around the living area as it cooled very well downstairs but just not the loft. I would upgrade the chairs and umbrella for a family of 4. Also no ice trays, had ice maker but didn’t work.

I had a wonderful stay with my two children for 8 days at this property. The place was clean, the AC worked fabulously, and all in all it was a great stay. As indicated by a previous reviewer, the king-sized bed in the main floor bedroom is very firm. I typically prefer firm mattresses so wasn't concerned about that review when I read it prior to my stay, but it turned out that the mattress was the hardest one I have ever slept on and quite uncomfortable. Let me recommend that the owner run to Costco and purchase a simple pillow top mattress cover to make it more comfortable. Mattress aside, it was a wonderful condo and just perfect our our needs.

Great room for our family of 5. Check in was so easy. Clarify your parking permit with security. Master bed was too firm for me.

The home is exactly as advertised and was perfect for my family. The owner and manager were very kind and responsive, and went above and beyond to immediately address a very minor issue. My spouse and I were both impressed. They also had a lot of local knowledge to share when I asked. We will stay again!

Our family enjoyed the property and location in Turtle Bay. Great location to enjoy the North Shore.

We had such a great stay! The condo is fully set up with all the comforts of home. Very clean. Nicely furnished. Great for families!
The location in the estate can’t be beat - a quiet nook but close to the stables, beach, lei leis, the resort. Even ocean views.
Betty and Bitsy were super attentive hosts/managers, when booking with them you can be assured that you will be well looked after. Thank you for a perfect stay!

This condo is in the middle of the turtle bay resort on the North Shore which was remodeled during the height of Covid. The condo had everything we needed. It was clean and the air conditioner worked well. It was just a few steps to the resort and all the restaurants on the property. There are many great beaches nearby that you can walk to. And it’s just a short drive to all the beautiful north shore beaches and Halaiwa Town. Just be prepared for some traffic due to road work and tourists on the 2 lane road.
We would return to this property in a heart beat. The only negative is that the condo could use some remodeling to bring it up to date. It was however very clean and well taken care of.
5.0
The property was perfect for me and my adult kids ages 19 and 23. We all got our own beds which is really important to us. The condo was well stocked and as beautiful as advertised. We also loved being on the north shore and away from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
I would recommend this property to anyone who likes quiet surrounded by beautiful scenery.

Fantastic location in Kawela Bay, close to Turtle Bay Resort and the Kahuku Point hiking trail. We greatly appreciated having everything we needed for a day at the beach (chairs, boogie boards, etc...) Thanks for hosting us, we had a great visit to the North Shore!

Great stay on the north shore. Close to everything. Quiet and clean. Layout was good for us and our two teens. Great communication with Bitsy. Would stay here again if we come to Oahu.

It was a great place to stay, had a great view of the golf course, it was close to multiple beaches and had a lot to do on the north part of the island . My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this place.

Beautiful with minor issues
Internet was a little spotty at times and the toilet had a difficult time flushing but a plunger was helpful! The master bed was a little uncomfortable but beds are personal preference.
Loved the condo otherwise. Location made it easy to access turtle bay, easy path to run on in the golf course, quiet, kitchen was great, the layout of the condo was nice, extra accessories like beach towels, boogie boards and beach chairs was great.
I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

3-star accommodation near 5-star hotel
Pros- Turtle bay location with access to hotel restaurants and hotel activities (bikes, tennis) but not hotel pool or fitness center. Condo was clean and had basics needed to cook. It has some beach chairs, umbrellas and coolers-
Great for kids, great beach (Kawela bay) near by- 1.4 mile walk or drive. Great access to North shore.
Cons- 1 bathroom, and overall place is a bit run down and dated- could use some remodeling.
I’d come back to these condos but look for a more updated unit for the price.

Very clean condo on north shore
Communication with property manager was phenomenal. Condo was very clean. Loved the A/C! Lanai was nice for coffee and breakfast. Did contact PM for a couple items and response/resolution was super prompt and professional. Screen repairs in lanai (mentioned in previous comment) have been completed and all looks nice. Had extra trash bags, paper towel, toilet paper, dish soap, tide pods and a few Keurig pods. There were some seasonings and condiments. Beds upstairs in loft were comfy for our like (softer). Quiet neighborhood. Small but adequate pools. Had camp and beach chairs and boogie boards for use at beach. Beach at resort was nice (cove like area) so easy swimming. Saw whales jumping there. We rented a cabana there for the day which was lovely. Close to shrimp trucks and then Haleiwa and Wamelia Bay. Would stay here again and recommend! Thanks!

Away from everything that doesn't matter
Comfortable reasonably stylish condo, located short walk to Turtle Bay Hotel. Right on a currently closed golf course, which is now used as a huge grassy park. Miles of hiking trails to and around really beautiful natural parts of the island. Three very good natural beaches in walking distance. Best parts of this area are low crowds and beautiful natural setting. North Shore has just enough amenities to keep you satisfied, and if you want a fancy dinner or drinks the Turtle Bay Hotel is right there.
We were very happy in this place as a active people who like quiet calm naturally beautiful places.
