I feel like the first picture doesn't do this WONDERFUL condo justice. We have been out to the islands many times (tried different types of stays), but never an extended stay up in North Shore. Aka, I didn't really know what to expect housing-wise, especially being "outside" the resort.
I/we were completely blown away with EVERYTHING - we knew we were in good hands the second we pulled into the resort. The condo's location is perfect. You can walk to the resort, you're a few miles left and right of amazing beaches, food/shrimp trucks, and Ted's Bakery (which we went to every morning). It's truly the ideal location for folks who want to get away from the hustle and bustle, while also having their home-away-from-home feel up in North Shore.
The hosts are incredibly helpful and responsive, and their friend Bev is an angel (felt like I was talking to my grandmother). We felt like long lost friends, and everything was just so personable and laid back.
There is 0 doubt we will be booking this place again, pending availability, when we venture back up to North Shore. You should do the same :)
We can't thank you enough for everything you did for us, and for letting us experience the beauty of North Shore in your home.
Mahalo!

Excellent property and great hosts. It was a pleasure to deal with them and their local property manager Bev.
The condo was clean, well-equipped and stocked with basic supplies. We enjoyed our time there and booked another stay in the fall.

My wife and I were very satisfied with this unit.
Very clean, and well furnished.
It was nice to have an indoor pool nearby to cool off in at the end of the day.
Lots of trails (including the Fazio golf course) to take a walk on.
The price was quite reasonable.

The area was quiet with the advantage of being close to the resort. A lot of activities were available.
The internet was not reliable, consistently cutting out. This also was an issue when watching YouTube TV.

Staying near Turtle Bay and use of many of its resources was an unexpected benefit of the property. We enjoyed the hiking trails and the restaurants. Having a laundry room in the unit is a definite plus. There are some areas of improvement that cannot be ignored. The property had a musty smell that never went away even after opening all windows and doors. Other than the kitchen, the rest of the unit is in need of a major refresh. The internet/Wi-Fi was flaky at best. The first day the internet would drop out/come back every minute. When I notified the property manager and owner, it was suggested the I take the time to contact Spectrum Cable and see if I could resolve the problem. Not what we expected.

This unit was super clean. The location is perfect for traveling to the north shore or day excursions. Short walk to the beach. The food trucks had amazing food and were only about ten minutes away. I will definitely be staying there again. Ahola

Cannot say enough good things about our on-site hostess, Bev. She welcomed us with lights on (we came when dark), answered our questions, and was available for any need we had. The condo was very nice and in a great location to everywhere we wanted to go. Great little home away from home.

Great location at Kawela Bay / Turtle Beach Resort with beautiful beaches in every direction. Beautiful hiking opporunities along Kawela Trail to Kahuko Point and Turtle Bay Pillbox. Caretaker of the property always helpful and reachable. Simply perfect.

This nice little cozy place was a great start to mine and my wife’s 3 stop trip to Hawaii. We loved the location and the area is just off the beaten path of the busy areas of north shore. The condo had what we needed to relax on our trip and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The host was great to work with even with our later check in. She accommodated us with our needs and everything was a breeze. Thank you!
September 2023
The place was in a great area and great beaches. Items they left for use we found to be broken as things aren’t thoroughly checked. Also was wrongly charged for a cookie pan, we were charged $40 for a cheap one, by the owners who do not live there and take the word of the person who cleans it and admitted to not thoroughly going through everything. All in all it was a great area and little place but not worth staying at with broken beach items and being wrongfully charged. We might as well have stayed at turtle bay resort walking distance away from it.

This condo was perfect for our trip to the North Shore. Very private and quiet. Plenty of space for 2 people and it made a great base for exploring the whole island. Very clean and with everything you would need to self cater. Would recommend this condo.

Every part of the reservation went on as planned. Check-in was easy to navigate and the home is just as described. Perfect location for a quiet couples getaway, but so close to all of the must-see places while in Hawaii. We will be back!

We spent 2 weeks here. It's an excellent location that met all of our needs. If you need to go to a Costco it is only 50 minutes away. It's an easy walk to the beach, Turtle Bay Resort has miles of trails to hike and they also have a beach for all your water activities. We saw Monk seals, Albatrosses (adults and babies) and many bird species. The unit has everything you will need for your stay. The only thing I will say is a small negative is that the internet is a little buggy but it is sufficient.

Nice location, great communication with owner and property manager, and convenient to all parts of the island. The pictures of the unit showing the living room are out of date. There are now two couches and the glass table is currently located where the bar stools in the picture are. Frankly, since this unit really only sleeps 2 comfortably, it would be nice to remove the one couch and put the table back to where it's shown in the picture. This would really help increase the usable area of the unit. Other than that, it was great!

My daughter and I spent a week at this condo. It is very spacious and a great kitchen space for cooking. We loved the walking distance to Turtle Bay, the quiet neighborhood, dedicated parking space, gated community, and plenty of towels in the condo. In a heartbeat I would book this condo again!

We stayed here 8 nights and I loved it. This is a comfortable condo so close to anything you need for your stay. Turtle bay resort is a 0.6 mile walk away, with trails, the beach, stores and food. The one and only reason I am not giving 5 stars is that the bed was very uncomfortable. The room is large enough to accommodate a bigger bed, it is a queen but that’s not my complaint. My complaint is that the bed is very hard! My husband started sleeping on the couch early every morning and woke up sore every day. I didn’t struggle with it as much as he did but I do agree it’s way too firm. A nice mattress topper might do the trick if the owners don’t want to replace the mattress.

This place did not disappoint!
We used the tennis courts and pool everyday.
We took advantage of being in turtle bay and used their facilities daily especially for sunset.
This was central to all the great food trucks in kahuku and surf near Sharks cove
The place was clean, spacious, comfy and had everything we needed!

Bev was absolutely amazing, she is very helpful and allowed us to come in early and drop our stuff off before our sons airshow. The bed was uncomfortable and the bedding is very very worn, it definitely needs to be replaced along with pillows.

This was a great place to stay up on the North Shore. Easy access to lots of beaches, comes stocked with beach chairs and umbrellas and cooler. Fully stocked kitchen. Bev was nice and helpful. Only wish the bed was bigger 😊

The condo was cute and cozy. The bed was comfortable and having a washer and dryer available for use made things easy. The bathrooms themselves were fairly clean but the showers were gross. There was a lot of mold (which I figured..it is Hawaii and humid) but there was also hair and dirt from the people staying ahead of us. Ask for extra toilet paper when checking in, there isn’t much available in the unit. Overall, we feel like we would definitely stay at this location again.

Check in with property manager was seamless. She met us at the door with the keys. Property was very clean & just as pictured. Included everything you would need in the kitchen. Great cross breeze so a/c was not always needed. A/C cooled the living room & bedroom. Would highly recommend this property & would stay here again!

The condo eas pretty much as described. Bev was a great pn site manager and was always approachable...answered text messages quickly. There were no beach chairs or umbrella when we arrived. The owner quickly told us to buy these and he would reimburse us, which he did. Could use a new frying pan that food doesn't stick to...overall we were happy with the location and the condo in general.

Great location to experience BIG winter surfing! Just a few minutes to some great surfing beaches. Easy access to all you need from grocery, food trucks and restaurants. Turtle Bay resort within walking distance for myriad activities. Great golf course, great sunsets & great surf. Absolutely loved our visit.

It was...fine. The property manager was wonderful. The condo was not updated which I knew from the pictures, so I had no problem with that. However, it was also not clean. The toilet wasn't even wiped down. We didn't use one of the showers because it was so dirty. The other shower had hair, etc. Overall, it was fine. Not amazing, but not awful by any means.

Very nice location. By golf course, near beautiful trails along the beach. Air conditioning was a tiny window box and did not work, but fortunately temperatures were not bad and fans circulate air nicely. An old bolt in shower door gave way but they fixed it quickly.

Condo is at the condo complex just south of Turtle Bay resort and is a short walk to the beach and a short drive to all the high lights of the north shore. The condo is pretty much as pictured and described - very clean. Only thing I would say is I'm not sure that the bed is a Queen bed as it was a little tight for two people to sleep in. Overall, great spot and a great vacation.

The condo is about a good 10-15 minute walk to turtle bay resort. Everything in the condo you would need for cooking. Basic supplies in the condo are all provided.
Condo needs an update but was ok for your stay. Loved the screened in Lani that over looks the 17th tee box. Ovation is a little close to the highway so there is some noise.
It needs a really good deep clean as there is some major dusting and issues.
Overall a good stay for our 3 week holiday.
We would stay here again

We had the best experience with this condo, from start to end. the description was very accurate, the owners were communicative and the caretaker was so sweet and very helpful. I never knew how convenient having 2 bathrooms for 2 people would be until this trip!
The screened in porch off the living room looked out on the 17th hole and was the perfect place for coffee in the morning. The kitchen was fully stocked with all the appliances and kitchen accessories you would need. The living room was very comfortable and the bedroom was spacious.
The condo is just across the parking lot from one of the 2 pools and a short walk to Lie Lie's and the Turtle Bay beach and resort.
We'll definitely be returning!

We loved this condo within the Turtle Bay resort. Cary sent ahead of time a short list of condo rules and when to contact the property manger, Bev - what a delight. Also sent ahead a listing of must do things on the North Shore which was very helpful. The condo was a short walk to the resort amenities and beach. We are from Florida and had to change our plans twice while we were there due to Hurricane Dorian. Cary was very accommodating in allowing us to extend our stay to avoid the hurricane. We highly recommend this condo - you will not be disappointed. Thanks Cary !!

Property Managers were very nice and provided very helpful information regarding the locations, places to visit, stores and other areas to visit on the island. Appreciated the map and paperwork to use as another resource while on the island. The Managers responded to any emails with questions priors to arriving to the island. We really enjoyed our stay.

This property was perfect for our needs and the location is great for either relaxing at ‘home’ or heading out to the beach to relax. The property is well situated and does get a good cross breeze so we enjoyed using the fans with the windows open half the time. On the more humid days we used the AC. The owners provide everything needed for a fun outing including wake boards, beach towels and coolers. We loved the decorations and the furniture is top notch. Mattress has a comfortable firmness which gave us a good night’s sleep. IMO you will want a rental car to get around which we had.

The property was clean comfortable and well equipped. It was easy to find and Bev was eager to show us around and provide information on the area. The proximity to the entrance road to the resort resulted in road noise especially in the evenings when trying to sleep with the ventilation open.

The condo is well equipped and beautifully furnished. It was sparkling clean and we found everything we needed, no problem. However, this is our 10th visit to Turtle Bay, and now we are in a position to compare condos. This is a good one! The only reason why we scored it a 4 instead of 5 stars is the noise level in the bedroom. One can hear the traffic, and every morning when the people upstairs went to work, which is early, I woke up. There is no white noise of AC in bedroom that drowns the sounds from outside.

Upon arrival, I had to wait for the owner to give me contact info for the on location manager & was told by the owner “ I obviously did not read directions sent by him” Unfortunately I hadn't received any instructions & this was a rude welcome for my family. Upon return I was not refunded my deposit and have been in dispute with the owner who is making exaggerated claims and has not been willing to resolve the issue with me. I was told by the on site manager Beverly that she cleans the units after we leave and this made sense because the cleaning fee was included in my charges but then I received notice that my damage deposit was kept for cleaning charges and more? The claims of these excessive cleaning needs or damages are outrageous and petty. The unit was left clean like I’ve left every rental we’ve ever stayed in and I’ve always had my deposits refunded. I tried to discuss details with the owner Carey but he is condescending and rude saying what we’re we thinking drinking on the sofa or sitting on it wet and how would we get sand in the unit when it’s 1/2 mile from the beach etc. I can’t imagine sand is unheard of for a beach rental for a family staying a week. I simply was unable to start the dishwasher when I left because the digital buttons are located on top of the door and when it’s closed start can’t be pressed only a delayed start option which I couldn’t get to work. I was charged for a couch cover and now claims of a new couch being needed for “stains” which could have only have been simple water marks which can be easily noticed on a microfiber sofa but also easily cleaned & Beverly told me that she was able to remove the stains but I’m still being charged this? They claimed sand was deep in the carpet and outside in the landscape when there was only a small spill in the bedroom that the vacuum there couldn’t even pick up due to poor suction. Beverly also confirmed she had to go get a better vacuum to use. Lastly 2 old beach towels were claimed to be missing and needed replaced. I explained they must have been mixed up at a families condo, located them & had them returned that day to the unit. Avoid an uneccessary hassle by owners who must need to get every last $ out of your stay. We had family staying in several units at Turtle Bay that were much nicer as far as renovations, better a/c units and did not have the bug problems this unit had or any issues with deposits. You will see the owners attitude in his reply to this I’m sure.

We really enjoyed our stay at Kuilima #5 East. There were a few quirks that we let the owner know about but overall it was great. The unit has a real Hawaii feel as the owner has taken great pains to use Hawaiian artwork tastefully. We stayed for two weeks before moving into our permanent home in Kaneohe.
