My friend and I stayed here for a week. We’ve been to Hawaii more than 15 times and wanted to stay in North Shore to get away from the Hustle and Bustle of Honolulu. Location is PERFECT - access to Turtle Bay Beach and to all the other beaches were amazing!
The only thing I must warn is the power fuse going out few times when cooking or using the microwave. AC didn’t work well on the 2nd floor as well as the bedroom downstairs. The loud noise coming from direct neighbors (I believe they had kids) kept us from getting good sleep the entire stay. The power also went out completely one time (I believe that was the entire location). Besides the power, AC and loud noise it was an overall good place to stay!!

We had a wonderful time at this condo. We have stayed in this area before but across the street at some other condos. This location is the best of the best if you want to be on the North Shore. Be sure to walk down to turtle Bay and see the sunset at night. We enjoyed beach days at turtle Bay beach which is open to the public and you can rent cabanas umbrellas, etc. It is a beautiful place to spend a beach day with public restrooms and a place to shower off, especially if you have kids if you are a snorkeler It is a mellow bay. Also try out sharks Cove which is not far away and snorkel in the deep area north of the shallow Cove. We saw turtles and hundreds of beautiful fish. Everything for our stay was wonderful. The air-conditioning worked very well, which was a must for us. This was the perfect little condo for our family of four.

The condo was well equipped with beach towels, 2 beach chairs, fully stocked kitchen, AC worked well, nice sitting on the lanai eating breakfast overlooking the golf course. Easy walk to beaches and resort. Got to catch the sunset, really cool. Nice pools, quiet area. A couple of tips, do a Costco run before going to Northshore. There is a Foodland about 10 minutes away but better to stock up at reasonable prices. Lots of Turtle watching within walking distance. Overall, a great time was had by all.

Nice property, grounds, pools and common areas. It was really nice to have the beach equipment. Walking distance to Turtle bay resort and surf school entrance. The down stairs bedroom AC worked for a couple hours the first day and then only blew hot air. left the door open and used a fan with no problem. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

Only one towel per person. Top sheet on main bed was the wrong size. No bath soap. Bathroom toilet upstairs had a bad odor and was unclean. Extremely noisy A/C unit in main bedroom.

Sandra - the property manager was amazing and always responded quickly.
Great location, the kitchen was well stocked and they kindly provided beach, snorkelling gear.
However - the property needs a proper clean - White towels in bathrooms had dirty marks on them , pillows were stained in bedroom and the property is tired and needs updating.

The North Shore is such a special place and this condo is in an amazing location. Lots of beach access nearby and a fantastic grouping of fruit stands and organic shave ice across the street. Sandra was fantastic to work with and was always responsive to any communication. We have stayed in other properties in this same complex and the lanai was such an added bonus. Our family loved the extra amenities and the beach toys were enjoyed by our kids. We highly recommend. Thanks again for a wonderful stay!

We appreciated being able to utilize some of the Turtle Bay amenities, but some repairs and upgrades are desperately needed to make us want to come back again.

Location of this townhome was great! Close to everything on the North Shore. Grocery stores and food trucks all within a 10 minute drive. The restaurant on the golf course was the hidden gem for us. The condo has great space and the kitchen was large. The only negative for us was the beds aren’t that comfortable and the lighting was lacking. A lot of burnt out light bulbs. Would definitely stay again!

After a small snafu when we got there, which they fixed within an hour, enjoyed the place very much. Ample kitchen supplies. Beach a few minutes walk away. If you are going to take stuff, you might want to drive. There is snorkel gear ready to use. It was very convenient to have the half bath up in the loft.

My family and I came here for a two week vacation and we absolutely loved the property. It was clean, comfortable and was in a great location. The owner was always available when we had questions and super helpful. Will definitely be staying here again!

We've been in this condo for 10 days in August, the place is beautiful, at walking distance to the Turtle Bay Resort and at 10-20 minutes drive from many other nice beaches of the north shore.
Condo is large enough for 4 people and has a nice view on the Golf course. The reserved parking and the gated entrance to the resort is a good plus, the space for our car was just in front of the unit.
Unit itself is comfortable with enough space for 4 people and a well equipped kitchen, only problem we found is that the microwave was often making the circuit braker trip, just drop the Microwave power to 80% or less to avoid this issue.
Another little problem was the sliding door to the lanai, it is not closing perfectly and hard to move, should be fixed.
The resort has three swimming pools, very convenient for a short refresh when you're back from the beach, a pity that they close early at 9pm in the evening.
Another good plus is the sun-umbrellas (we left one more) and the beach chairs available in the condo, you can go to the Turtle Bay Beach with those and avoid paying silly rates for renting them.
The resort is on the tip of the North shore, at about 90 min drive from Honolulu and the airport, just consider this in case you want to go for excursions on the south part of Oahu.
It is actually very close to the Polynesian Cultural center, and the ticket is valid for three days, book your Lu'au package early, it gets busy soon!
Aloha and Mahalo!
Enjoy your Hawaii, you're in paradise!

This is on property @ Turtle Bay on North Shore. Very quiet area and great to get away from the crowds of Waikiki. Be aware it is 90 min drive from airport & any excursions in Waikiki but we did most of our excursions on North Shore. The kitchen is stocked with what u need to cook & grocery store is within 6 minutes

We loved the location of the condo within walking distance of the Turtle Bay Resort. We enjoyed cooking meals in the modern kitchen, and we recommend updating the both bathrooms for future guests.

Pros: Absolutely an ideal location! Beautiful surrounds. Close to many popular destination spots. Comfortable and quiet. Lovely place to stay overall. Property manager was always accessible and friendly. Instructions were easy to follow for checkin/checkout. Great condo for layout and comfort.
Cons: in a word, BUGS. All over the place there were these small bugs. I addressed this with the property manager from the first. I sent her pictures of them. Her response was that it’s a part of visiting the tropics and perhaps buy some vinegar to kill them! She did email the bug company to come and spray on our 6th day there, but they never showed up! We had bought groceries, but frankly, we were hesitant to use the kitchen for food prep. Next, the dead bolt on the front door can NOT be locked from the outside due to the fact that it is old and rusty. The patio door takes some muscle to open and you run a risk of break nails trying. There was no wine bottle opener. So the wine we bought never was enjoyed. The property manager did say if we went a bought one, she would reimburse us. My thoughts on that are..there should be a check list done before and after anyone stays there to ensure it’s fully stocked when the next guest arrives. That’s what we pay for! Lastly, every time we ran a hair dryer the power breaker would trip, and we’d lose power. The first time this happened, we tried to reset the breaker (all of them) to no avail. The property manager told us the “trick” to resetting the breaker! We did this at least 6 times during our stay. My advice for the owner. Put a little money into your place! A new dead bolt, a patio door that opens easily, for grief sakes, spray regularly for bugs! Ensure that it is actually a fully stocked kitchen before and after each stay!!
Overall, if no bugs, I would stay here again.

I gave it a 4 star rating because the sliding door really needs to be fixed. There is a really nice patio looking over the golf course and hills, but we didn't enjoy it as much as we would have liked because it was so hard to get the sliding door opened or closed!
Great location for us as we enjoyed activities like beaches, hiking, zip lining and the PCC which were closer to us here. It was a beautiful drive from the airport even though it was over an hour away. Google Maps took us right there! Directions on VRBO led us into the parking area, very easy to find!
Sandra did have beach towels, 2 beach chairs (2 more would be nice), 2 boogie boards and some snorkeling gear. The pool was very nice! We could walk to the wonderful Beach House restaurant for lunch or dinner (reservations suggested).
Sandra responded very quickly when we discovered a couple of items missing...like a bottle corkscrew. You do need to be careful about running hair dryers with the microwave as it will trip the circuit breaker, but the box was in the kitchen and easy to find!
The upstairs bedroom was a little warm even with the A/C, but we are New Englanders so prefer it a little cooler.
Instructions for our stay were easy to find on VRBO.
Overall a Super stay!

The condo was exactly what it looked like from the pictures on the website. Very nice, spacious and fully equipped. There was an issue with the connection for the TV, but the property owner, Sandy, was easy to get a hold of and very responsive to getting the cable serviced in a timely manner. The balcony (lanai) was a perfect place to sit for meals and enjoy the beautiful view of the golf course. All in all, our ohana thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely condo. We definitely will be back...hoping for the same unit. Mahalo Plenty!

Wonderful condo and grounds. Condo was very well equipped with anything you’d need to cook except a gas grill but there was charcoal one by the pool which was fine. Close to great beaches with a short hike . We saw several turtles, fish and a monk seal. Nice and quiet. I would definitely stay here again!! Owner was very helpful. Loved our stay!!!!

Reviews are useful if they inform the owners and renters both. Its hard to put one number as overall review when some parts are great and others need improvement. The location is excellent, the kitchen was very nice. Much of the condo needs some updating. The bathroom is old and has a terrible showerhead, the lanai overlooking the golf course is wonderful but the sliding glass door does not slide or lock. Wifi and Tv were great, some better beach chairs would be nice. The beds were OK, and had lots of towels. We enjoyed our stay but wanted to point out some room for improvement.

Our family had a great experience at this condo—it was lovely, very comfortable and well-located in Turtle Bay. We had everything we needed to prepare meals and go to the beach, and it was just a short drive to so many towns, restaurants and fun experiences. Our host was helpful and also available to answer any questions we had. We really enjoyed our visit and we look forward to returning.

Great value for the Turtle Bay area!
Check-in is a little extra only due to the condo being in a gated area, but communicating with Sandra is easy.
Very clean! Condo could use some updating and more labeling of light switches, but for the price a very good value. Pool area is pretty basic, no hot tub, but the beach is just down the road! (easy free parking next to the Turtle Bay resort)
Sandra was very responsive to text messages.
Would def stay here again!

We throughly enjoyed our stay. The room and loft set up perfectly mer our needs. The kitchen was well stocked. There were plenty of towels and even beach toys. The unit was clean and comfortable. The location was great being so close to wonderful beaches, food and BYUH and the Polynesian Cultural Center. We also enjoyed the pool and pickle ball courts and close proximity to Turtle Bay Resort. . It was a great place to stay. The only thing that would have made it better was if the unit had two full bathrooms with showers rather than the one. Full abt and one half bath.

For the most part we enjoyed our stay at Sandra's condo. It started out rocky as we were tired from the day of traveling and got to the condo late and didn't follow the instructions as written out to call at the gate using the key pad --not your phone and retrieving the key from the keylock on the door knob not the master lock on the wall. But Sandra was forgiving and we so appreciated that. I cleaned cabins so I am probably more OCD on cleaning. The kitchen was not organized well and the cupboard liners were all crumpled up and not neatly straightened, nor was the utensils and supplies. But everything we needed was there, we just had to search for it. We were happy to have found coffee in the morning! We loved having breakfast out on the deck viewing the golf course. The pool was closed during our stay and at the end of our last day we couldn't use the parking lot as it was being resurfaced. The beds were ok and I found 1 pillow that I liked. Overall we enjoyed our stay at the condo and the Turtle Bay Resort is beautiful.

The property is in Turtle Bay… so close to the beaches! Easy access to everything on the North side of the island. If you don’t want to swim in the ocean, the condo pools were perfect!… and there are three of them available.

This rental served as a convenient and comfortable launching pad for several days of North Shore activities. We spent a fair amount of time on the Turtle Bay resort itself, walking the trails, on the beach, and at the Beach House restaurant, and all of that was within 10 minutes of this location. Sandra was in early contact to ensure our check in went smoothly.

This was a nice place to stay for our party of 5. It was very clean and had everything we needed (like beach toys for our 3 year old to play with). We loved staying on the North Shore as compared to staying in Honolulu! We were close to many nice beaches and we also enjoyed the pool nearby.
We noticed a few minor issues during our stay (broken screen door, leaky sink), but Sandra was very quick to respond to these messages, as well as any questions we had about where to find things!

Our condo Kawela Bay worked out perfectly. Location was perfect. The living room, kitchen , and balcony deck was functional. I liked the couch and the kitchen was stocked and you could cook a meal there. We were there to play golf, surf, and look at property on the North Shore. My only recommendation to our host: buy all new pillows and spend a little money on some new sheets.

The condo was very clean and had everything one could think of. Sandra was kind and worked with us during check in, as our flight was extremely delayed arriving from the Northeast. The location was close to the Turtle Bay Resort and a easy walk to the beach. The only suggestion would be to replace the beach chairs, and have a "thermal" picnic cooler to bring cold drinks etc. to the beach.

Absolutely great option if you'd like to be near Turtle Bay at a more affordable rate! We were in Oahu for a wedding and for of us very comfortably stayed in the condo. It's a short walk to the Turtle Bay restaurants and beach (we did it multiple times each day, maybe less than ten minutes), and on a long trip having the convenience of a kitchen and washer/dryer was a big plus. The condo is clean and accommodating, and Sandra was super quick to respond to any question!
