Jan was very responsive and helpful in organizing and answering questions about the property. The space was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. We were not wanting for any amenities. It was a short walk to excellent swimming in the ocean and the pool was lovely as well. My whole family was comfortable and we had an excellent trip!

This condo is amazing and was perfect for our family - 6 of us. Beautiful views and just a few steps from the beach and condo pool. Turtle Bay Resort is right there and we were able to enjoy meals and views from that property as well. Condo is beautifully furnished with everything you need and more. I would definitely recommend and would stay here again!

We loved our time on Turtle Bay at this villa! Jan was incredible, very communicative. The pool was better than we expected and the nearby resort was super helpful. It’s great being away from Honolulu and relaxing at the pool or the beach!

Place is as described in the listing. Jan was easy to work with in getting the details worked out,
Very nice location and comfortable living arrangements. Balcony/lanai was a great place to start and end the day for our family. Whether you want to relax or be active during your stay, Turtle Bay is a great resort!
Below are a few of notes we can share:
The good:
* Comfortable bedrooms!
* Plenty of towels and good washer/dryer which meant clean towels all week!
* Nice beach umbrellas / lots of snorkle equipment available.
And, the less than perfect:
* While listing says it sleeps 8, in our opinion, the Villa is ideally suited for 6 (e.g. 3 bedrooms; family room/deck seating for 6; 6 coffee cups, 6 plates -- although there are plenty of glasses, bowls and silverware for a few more).
* Sleeper sofa was not comfortable for our college age son (might be more conducive to small children, however). Generally, we know sleeper sofas are not terribly comfortable so we/he knew it might not be perfect. But the gel mattress was very thin and worn out. After a couple of days it was bad enough that we looked around to see if we could find a rental bed. We failed so he did not get much sleep all week.
* One bar of soap and small one-ounce bottles of shampoo and conditioner are provided in each bathroom. If you're planning a longer stay you'll probably want to bring your own (we're glad we did!).
Imperfections aside, this was an excellent location for our family vacation!

Jan’s place in Turtle Bay is Amazing! Her Condo is so nice and all the extra available amenities like beach chairs, snorkeling gear, etc. in the beach locker was really convenient since we didn’t have to rent it or bring it with us. If/when we return to Hawaii, we will definitely keep Jens place in mind to stay at again. Mahalo!

Jan's villa was perfect for our family. Our kids enjoyed the pool and the nearby beach - and beach umbrellas, chairs, boards, snorkel gear, and toys were all provided. The property itself had everything we needed (for meals, relaxing, bathing, lounging). I slept really well on the super comfortable beds...actually so did everyone. We were also able to walk over to the hotel to grab a bite to eat, or walk around the beautiful property whenever we felt like it. It was an amazing place to stay and we hope to return.

We really enjoyed our stay. My brother-in-law came to surf the area and he found plenty of waves. My 90 year old mother was completing the visit of her 50th state. We all enjoyed our stay. The house is lovely and fully stocked. And the owner is a wonderful artist who had some lovely paintings hanging on the wall! Great Beach and wonderful sunsets!

Jan's villa was beautiful! We enjoyed the views, the comfortable bedding, the onsite laundry, and the nice decor. The beach chairs, boogie boards, and snorkel gear in the storage unit were very much appreciated. Access to the Turtle Bay hotel, restaurants, shopping, and surf school was an extra bonus. Highly recommended!

My multi-generational family had a great stay, and this was our favorite part of our vacation in Oahu. Jan sent very helpful communication in advance of our arrival, and her beautiful condo was clean, well-kept, and well-stocked. We cooked many of our meals and also ate at some of the restaurants at Turtle Bay (Roy's Beach House is just steps away) and drove to nearby shrimp trucks. We enjoyed the villa's pool, and the close beach is visible from the lanai. We also made use of the beach toys, umbrellas, and chairs. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

We had family with grandparents and grandchildren stay here. It was the best time ever. The condo is clean and very nice. The view from the balcony is awesome! We loved the beach and exploring the island. But Turtle Bay Resort was just phenomenal. The food, service, and ambiance all excellent! We don’t want to leave! Jan was a great host and the beach chairs and boogie boards were nice to have to use! We will be back!

Great rental for the North Shore! Overall this is an awesome property. On the beach and in a perfect location within turtle Bay resort. Only minor setback was that I was confused that we would have access to the resorts pools, But our own pool was perfect for iur group and not crowded. Thanks, Jan, For being so responsive with my inquiries!

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience at Jan’s place. Everything was so clean and cozy. The customer service was absolutely great and I felt welcomed from the moment we were there to the moment we left. The pictures don’t do this place Justice you would have to experience it yourself. Would absolutely recommend this place and can’t wait to visit here again.

This place was an amazing stay! Very high end finishes, comfy beds, and so very clean. This place housed our family of 6 adults very comfortably. The pool and beach were so close, we spent the majority of our time there. Wifi was good enough to work from condo. The resort grounds and amenities were really amazing, but I wasn't totally prepared for the restaurant prices on the resort. There was really no place to get a reasonably priced meal unless you have a car. Definitely come prepared with more groceries or spend a lot at the restaurants! The listing was a little confusing it describes an "infinity edge" pool which was the basis for my misunderstanding that we had access to the resort pool and activities. The "infinity edge" pool as described in the listing is actually a zero edge pool for villa guests only and is lovely and wonderful and was never busy the whole time we were there. The "infinity pool," which is what confused me, is at the resort and available to villa guests for a fee. I see other Turtle Bay Villa listings on VRBO make this separation more clear. Overall a fantastic and comfortable stay!!!

The location is beautiful and we enjoyed ourselves at Turtle Bay. The apartment is fine but after 30 years as a rental is definitely starting to show its age. Serviceable. not fancy. Furniture etc. could use a refresh. That being said, beds are comfortable and the kitchen and laundry facilities a plus when with kids. Unfortunately my husband washed jeans with some towels so we replaced them. Good news- towels are new now! The proximity to the newly renovated hotel, the ocean and all of the activities and amenities is absolutely the best part.

We’ve been to Turtle Bay many times, and always enjoy staying at the Villas when we’re a larger group. Jan’s unit is everything it’s advertised to be. She provides great info, and makes preparing for the trip and the check in process very easy. We’ll definitely be back.

We like the villas at Turtle Bay resort and have stayed at the location before in other properties. We had some issues with the air conditioning which really impacted our stay. The owner while nice enough was not able to get the AC serviced so the unit was hot most of the time. She told us to open the windows to let in the ocean breezes - but that also let in the daylight at 6 am and the noise from the pool being cleaned and leaves blown at 7 am. Our son and pregnant daughter-in-law did not want to open their window because it faced the walkway. By opening their curtain to expose the screen would also allow folks on the walkway to look in. The property manager came in and agreed the AC was not functioning correctly and said it need to be serviced. The owner was not able to find anyone to come in and service it during our stay. I gave up complaining about it because it was making it unpleasant and there was nothing we could do but “suck it up.” I do think the owner should have offered us some sort of compensation for it. Also, the unit is starting to show signs of wear - The oven works but the bottom is damaged, the dishwasher top rack is broken on one side and needs to be fixed. The microwave sparks on some of the settings. The glass stovetop is worn, as is the table top where some renters obviously didn’t use coasters and the finish is worn off. I like to cook so we did use the kitchen and I found the supplies in the kitchen are just barely adequate. If you prefer to eat out - it won’t be an issue. It was great to spend some time with our son and daughter-in-law so that sort of offset some of the challenges with the unit.

beautiful property; extremely clean; very nice owner...accommodated covid related switch in dates from 2020 to 2021. Our only complaint is that we were completely unaware that Turtle Bay resort was closed for renovations...with no restaurants or spa or other resort amenities. We feel that this needed to be communicated to us

This condo is absolutely beautiful - Our children screamed with excitement when they first entered the front door. Gorgeous views! Kids enjoyed the pool, the beach, and all of the beach gear that was provided. Kitchen had everything we needed. Loved eating on the balcony watching the beautiful sunsets. Teenagers took surf lessons from Ash as recommended and had an awesome time! Also enjoyed PCC and kayaking which was nearby. Loved eating at Ted's bakery! Owner was very easy to work with. Everyone had the best time here and did not want it to end! If coming to the North Shore, this is the place to stay!

My family and I had a wonderful vacation in this Villa. As newbies to Oahu, we found that Turtle Bay is the ideal place to be - close to so many fun adventures including Haliwea, Waimea waterfall, Kuloa Ranch to name a few. The Villa itself had everything we needed for a wonderful week. We took advantage of having a kitchen and great bbq grills just outside the villa. My kids loved the easy access to the pool and beach, and with all the accessories provided we had a marvelous time. Thank you to the Jewell Family for sharing your piece of paradise with us!

Absolutely gorgeous condo, looks exactly like pics. Has everything you could need, including a computer, DVDs, books, beach toys, chairs, and little things like plenty of toilet paper, paper towel, foil/plastic wrap/bags, detergent, etc. You really need to bring nothing. The property manager answered texts quickly and got a few small issues resolved immediately. We loved the huge balcony, sitting out there eating meals. Loved being on the resort grounds with their restaurants and facilities available. This was the perfect location to explore the North Shore. We would not hesitate to go back. We traveled with our 2 small children ages 2 and 4 and nanny. Everyone had an amazing time.

We loved staying in this villa, it looks exactly like the pictures. The property manager answered our calls immediately.The condo was clean and well stocked and had great internet access. It is a nice luxurious place away from the hustle and bustle of the hotel but convenient to it. Beautiful walks and beaches close by and if you love surfing this is the place to be. We can't wait to go back.

We loved staying at the Ocean Front Villas. Close to the beach, Laie, and Haleiwa. And far away from Waikiki. Turtle bay is nice and calm for little kids. For teenagers, there are plenty of beaches near by that will be more exciting. We ate breakfast and lunch at the condo, then left for dinner. We loved Ted's Bakery and Kahuku Grill. The property manager answered our texts immediately. The condo was clean and well stocked. We can't wait to go back.

Thank Mike and Jacinda for making our holiday so pleasant. The villa is beautiful- roomy, super clean, all the amenities, in a gorgeous setting. The pool is lovely, beach clean, soft sand, great for snorkeling. The restaurants were great- we like Ola's at the beach and Lei Lei's at the golf course. We also enjoyed with friends our evening at 21degrees in the hotel. Also on the grounds are 2 golf courses, practice range, tennis courts, horse stables and miles of trails for walking. Really there is something for everyone. Thank you for suggestions off the property for surfing and also tried powered hang gliding- absolutely amazing!
The best holiday we have enjoyed for awhile- didn't want to leave.
When can we come back???

I can't say enough about this place. Simply paradise, in an ideal location, comfort plus the feeling of being away from it all. Great accomodations.

We have been many times to Hawaii but not in the north shore area. First impressions is always important. This place is beautiful inside and out. we really felt the Aloha of Hawaii. This is not your typical tourist place. It is very quiet with your own private beach and golfing near by. This is truly a wonderful place and my family will be back for sure. Thanks Mike for a great place.
