Amazing view, great facilities. Nice living room in 3bedroom unit for family to gather and chat. Lots of rules and signs but very nice to have beach items there in locker. Lovely lanai and ok appliances; great washer and dryer.

It was our first time staying up on the North Shore and we were looking for a place to spend quality family time away the hustle and bustle of our past Waikiki vacations. We definitely found it! Great location, super relaxing and a beautiful beach to enjoy right in front! The Villa was clean and had everything we needed, including the beach chairs, umbrellas, snorkeling equipment, and boogie boards. We ate at Roy's a few times, which was great but a little pricey. The food trucks were fantastic, but everything up there closes early, so just make sure you plan accordingly. My kids kids took surfing lessons next door at Turtle Bay and loved it! All in all, a great vacation and a great place to stay if you want to relax!

Reviewer Comments:
We had such a great stay at this villa. The hosts were so helpful when we locked ourselves out (it was user error on our end). The experience was relaxing and the condo had everything we needed for an amazing stay. Highly recommend getting a rental car if staying on the North Shore so you can easily explore.

We had an amazing stay with every amenity provided. The views were outstanding. The beach is a little rocky is some areas, so I recommend water socks. You could tell from the parking lot that the complex was full, but it was still so peaceful and quiet while we were there. Enjoyed every minute. Aloha!

Can’t say enough good things about these villas! High end appliances (older but nice), epic views, spacious, every item you need!

We gathered to celebrate my mother’s 80 birthday and couldn’t have been better. We brought enough food to never leave the property for 4 days. My mother spent the tim sitting in the lanai watching the waves and people walk by. And the rest of us had a great time at the pool and at the beach. We even had a short visit by a Hawaiian Monk Seal. Would definitely rent again.

My husband and I and our two older teenage children just returned from an amazing trip to Oahu! Our accommodations were beautiful and so well kept. The unit is very clean and had all the conveniences we needed for our trip! The storage locker was great! We used the umbrella and chairs several times along with the snorkel gear. We were on the first floor unit and I was a little concerned about bugs. We did not see one bug! We loved being able to walk out of our lanai directly to the beach! The unit is bigger than we thought and we had no problem with the four of us in it. We loved the lanai and had lunch out there several times. I would highly recommend this unit!

This was the perfect place for our family! We just loved spending our mornings eating breakfast on the lanai and appreciating each other's company. It was a huge bonus to have all the beach toys and chairs... made our beach adventures extra enjoyable (the umbrella saved us from a few heavy rain showers). Vince & Gina were quick to respond to any of our needs. Turtle Bay Resort is steps away to enjoy a massage as well. :)

This place had an amazing view and great people all around. The villa was absolutely equipped with all the amenities needed to enjoy your stay. The one thing I would do different is rent the bottom villa for access to the bbq grill and beach.

Our Villa 205, was perfect! The view was amazing and the beach was perfect for swimming. Lots of families and kids stay here. The pool is beautiful too. This villa comes with a stocked beach locker with chairs, umbrella, snorkel gear, boogie boards, football, frisbee, etc. Beach chairs are a $40 rental on the beach. We would stay here again for sure!

My husband and I went for a last minute trip and this condo and the property were absolutely perfect. The condo over looked the ocean and it was very nice and clean. I would highly recommend this condo to anyone! Vince and Gina sent an entire list of things to do and recommendations, which was very helpful.

Our villa (#102) was beautiful. The best part was walking out onto the lanai in the morning, coffee in hand, and gazing at the ocean as the sun came up (I'm an early riser). The villa was well equipped with "basics" - paper products, dish and laundry soap, and spices for cooking. Our best meal of the trip was the night my daughter bought fresh ahi direct from a fisherman in Kahuku. She used the available (shared) barbecue for the fish, and fresh Kahuku corn. Yum. Our villa was easy to find and access on arrival, and it was everything it claimed to be. When we discovered the weather stripping at the bottom of the shower door was missing, I emailed Vince and Gina. When we returned from Haleiwa a few hours later, they'd already had the problem addressed. Very helpful and professional. The grounds, pool, are beautiful and well maintained, as is the villa, and the beds (including the pull out sofa!) were very comfortable. Interestingly, in this luxury villa, the coffee and bedside tables were pretty worn and ugly. I mention this only because I suppose the reason the owners don't replace them is because people (unfortunately) do not tend to treat furniture in a rental with the respect they treat their own furniture. Clearly, no one ever bothered to use coasters on these tables, and it showed. This villa really is gorgeous and luxury. That's why I thought the tacky tables were so out of place. Not that it affected our vacation - obviously. But it is annoying that the lack of care and respect renters often exercise lowers the experience for the rest of us. Last thing - we were not able to book this villa for our entire stay. We spent an additional 4 nights at the Turtle Bay Hotel. While we loved the Hotel pool and amenities, and our room had a great ocean view, we all agreed we preferred the Villa over all. Great choice, I highly recommend you stay here!❤️. Thank you Vince and Gina for the lovely stay!

I took my 12 year old granddaughter to Hawaii for the first time in February. The view from our condo was picture perfect. In fact, I had a friend ask me if that was a photo I got off the Internet. Nope, just from my phone! The condo was very nice, clean, and right on the beach! Sunsets were unbelievable! The employees for our area were very friendly, helpful and wanted us to have a great time. We had such a great time!! I would recommend this property to anyone, and plan on going back my self one day.

Our studio villa was absolutely impeccable. The studio was beautiful; the appliances were modern and the ocean view was incredible. Vince, Gina, and Kimberly were all very helpful. They helped answer any questions we had before making our reservation. Also, before our arrival they sent a detailed overview of the property, including, grocery store locations, restaurant recommendations, and suggestions for tourist attractions.

My wife and I stayed for 3 days in Villa 205. It was absolutely perfect. The unit was wonderfully clean and excellently appointed. Exceedingly comfortable. This is not one of the right next to the ocean modules, but had a great view of the beach. Wonderful ocean breezes. We didn't every turn on the A/C, though it is available, because the breezes kept the air circulating and nice. PLUS, the sound of the ocean is too delicious to give up, and we slept to the whoosh of the waves every night. The cleaning crew left brand new sponges and an unopened bottle of dishwashing soap, which I thought was a really nice detail. This studio villa is ideal for a couple. Neither more, nor less room than a couple would desire. The wood and stone floors, and all the wood paneling and granite countertops, etc. just made for a truly nice indoor environment. The managers are wonderful to deal with. We will be back.

We had a great stay, but time went too fast!! Only had to contact the host once for a minor thing and issue was solved immediately. Great property and hosts!! we hope to come back here again soon!!!

We stayed in Unit 202 for 3 days and it was simply paradise. It was bright, has high-end finishes and was IMMACULATELY clean. The closet was huge and we kept our 3 suitcases in it and out of our way. It had every amenity that we needed for our stay. We were also able to change the door code to something that was easy for us to remember. The management left very clear instructions and a lot of general information for you to reference if needed. I would highly recommend this for anyone who wants to have a dream vacation on the North Shore.

Wow, wow, wow is all I can say. My daughter and I stayed for four wonderful nights in a second floor studio (we wanted a whole week but due to popularity—they were all booked). I cannot even begin to tell you how much the unit lived up to our expectations from the pictures and reviews on this site. Due to the proximity to the beach we still felt like we were on the beach when we used the lanai for all our meals, as well as reading and relaxing. The studio is very spacious and the cooking facilities are top notch. The unit had absolutely everything we needed in terms of utensils, cookware, and even spices to cook some great meals. We never had any issues with noise in the complex and my daughter especially loved the pool area. The unit comes with everything you need for the beach (chairs, umbrella, snorkeling gear, sand toys, boogie boards, cooler) and the location of the storage locker on the first floor make getting what you want to take to the beach very convenient. The complex is gorgeous and should we come back to Oahu in the future, we would definitely stay here again.

We spent a week here and absolutely loved it. The location was superb! Gorgeous view from the lanai and so quiet. The villa had everything you could need and was so tastefully decorated. The big bathroom and walk in closet were awesome. So wonderful to have the pool and beach right there. Loved the locker of toys...so easy with children as you don't need to bring those things with you. Can't wait to come back! Owners were so easy to work with and provided so much great information prior to our arrival.

We stayed in the studio portion of the Villa and it was perfect for us. Would definitely return and do larger if bringing the family. Location is our favorite on the island and we have been several times/places.

We really enjoyed the condo because it was very large and very well kept. It was very close to the ocean and walking distance to the resort. We thought our pool was much more comfortable and a lot less crowed than the resort pool. There is a lot to do and see at the resort as far as walking trails ans sea life. We enjoyed the restaurant Ola's which is right next door for dinner, quick snack or a drink. They offered everything you would need beach chairs and what not--we didn't use it just spent our days at the pool and sitting on the lanai.

My husband and I recently returned from our third trip to Turtle Bay. We absolutely love the North Shore. We have stayed in the cottages and the resort prior to this trip. This was our first time in a villa. It was all that I had imagined. It was spacious for the two of us, so much better than a hotel room. It was very quiet and clean. Even though the weather was stormy, we could not wipe the smiles off of our faces. We both had tears in our eyes when we left (AND we live in a most beautiful warm climate). Our compliments to Gina and her family for the beautifully maintained and well stocked accommodations. We had everything we needed to relax, cook dinner, have cocktails on our deck, swim, snorkel ( right in front of villas!). The view is lovely. We enjoyed walking the trails, sitting on our deck, driving to see the surf at Sunset Waimeia and Pipeline and taking a few day trips to see Haleiwa and Kahuku town. The water was a bit cool because of the storm, but we had to swim everyday. The pool was very nice also. We found the resort and its staff to be welcoming, very professional and friendly. The restaurants are wonderful, especially Ola's. You can drive to Honolulu in less than an hour if you want some excitement! I can go on and on. The pictures are very accurate and Gina and her staff provided every detail we could think of in her welcome packet. Aloha and Mahalo to you!

I've stayed at the hotel many times and its been wonderful every single time. Finally experiencing the villas was even BETTER. Everyone I dealt with at Vacation Villas by Gina were professional, courteous, and prompt in every interaction. They made the stay easy and painless. Check in and check out were fool proof and I plan to go back many more times. The villa was gorgeous, and being beachfront made it perfect. Would definitely recommend staying at any one of villas offered by Gina. Thanks again for making our honeymoon stress free!

We started researching places to stay on the Hawaiian Islands last July. Once we decided on Oahu, it didn't take long to find Gina and her beautiful villas. The studio on the first floor was absolutely PERFECT for my husband and I. There wasn't anything we needed other than food for breakfast/lunch. The lanai had an amazing view. I could go on for hours. If you are even second guessing your choice, stop now...choose this!!!
October 2012
Wow! We had such a great time!
We rented this villa from Gina for our honeymoon on Oahu's North Shore for 10 nights and they were 10 amazing nights!
We arrived on 10/9 and the villa was so nice! A big spacious bathroom with a shower, soaking tub, separated room for toilet, washer/dryer, great kitchen, big walk-in closet, comfy bed, and a living room with a view! We picked up groceries on our way up to the North Shore and we had everything we need to store our food, cook, and most importantly make drinks!
This villa was everything we expected and more!
We would recommend this villa to anyone!

We would highly recommend the studio for anyone visiting the north shore of Oahu. It is just as presented in the pictures -- beautifully decorated, fully stocked with everything we needed, and literally right on the grass with the beach just step away. Hiking to see the turtles, watching the surfers at Sunset Beach, and enjoying the peacefulness of just sitting on the lanai every morning for breakfast ---Thank you for a wonderful home away from home. We hope to be back soon.
