This property was a wonderful part of our stay in Oahu! The beds were very comfortable, there was plenty of kitchenwares and towels, and the AC units quickly cool the place down when you come home from your adventures. The beach equipment was so helpful as well! The owner was thorough in directions and answered questions promptly. My family loved using the nearby pool and eating on the back patio which looks out to a quiet golf course. It is a quick drive to the beach which Turtle Bay Resort is on, a great beach for families. Definitely would recommend staying here

We loved our stay! The property was clean, check in and out was very easy, and the extra supplies (boogie boards, beach chairs, snorkels, and beach towels) were much appreciated and saved us from having to rent them elsewhere. Hosts were responsive and helpful with questions before our stay and provided recommendations. The location is great! Walking distance to a few secluded beaches and the resort restaurants, driving to all the north shore has to offer.
Really the only thing that could be noted is that the window AC units struggled to keep up on the afternoon of the warmest day of our stay. They did the trick to keep us cool and comfortable in the evenings, nights, and mornings and we weren't usually in the unit much during the afternoon anyway, so it didn't impact us a lot. But if it's gonna be really hot while you're there and you're staying in, maybe prep to take a dip in the pool (really close to the unit, actually) to cool off.
Overall, it was a wonderful time and we would definitely recommend it to friends!

We were happy to see that the property was as described and the location was convenient and only one hour from the airport!
The property is older but well maintained. Plenty of kitchen ware for our needs but some of the pots and pans have seen better days. The beds were VERY comfortable.
The property manager was very responsive and addressed an issue with the kitchen sink faucet immediately and we were not inconvenienced in the slightest. The washer and dryer were a plus however the washer leaked off and on and we were told that a new washer is on the way! Again, we were not inconvenienced at all and appreciated the property manager's quick response to our needs.
We have a couple of recommendations when it's time to upgrade: 1) quieter air conditioners would be great! It was wonderful to have airconditioning but we really didn't need it. We used the fans and opened the windows and sliding glass doors to the patio and we were very comfortable during our entire stay! 2: add one or two more bar stools to the island bar for indoor eating. That being said, it was great sitting on the patio enjoying meals and our coffee in the mornings.
We experienced no insects and were vigilant about cleaning up after cooking and eating so as not to attract any.
We definitely will look forward to booking with Helen and the Aloha Team led by Marcela! It was great to come back to the place each day and relax after a day out visiting family!
Mahalo for hosting us!

Loved the location, quiet, clean and near the pool.
Since the golf course was closed, you're able to walk the course on the paths or bike on the path, beautiful!
Enjoyed the pickleball as well!

The home was clean and cozy. We enjoyed sitting on the back patio and swimming in the pool. The proximity to Turtle Bay beach was a plus. Would definitely recommend to anyone that wants a nice quiet place to stay.

The property is well-maintained, well-stocked, and most comfortable. The location is central to most things on the North Shore, especially the beach! I am so grateful that I selected this property. I had one issue that I believed the owner needed to address…and they did promptly…but it did not interfere with our stay or comfort level. This property provided the best “cool down” time for what had been a busy (tourist) week. I definitely want to visit again.

Location is great and quiet. Enjoyed eating on patio. Adequate cooking utensils. Place was clean and no insect problems. Information provided about the residence and surrounding area was excellent. We would likely stay again if we came back. We did have several issues. The dishwasher did a poor job so handwashed dishes. Noticed stain on sheets in one of loft beds. Appeared to be urine and came out when we washed. Poor ventilation since prevailing wind from East rather than north or south. Took long time to cool loft so probably ran A/C more to cool.

Helena's place was a great home base for my wife, myself and our friends. The house had everything we needed and the purple mattresses were super comfy after long days of exploring and having adventures on the island. The beach chairs, towels, boogie boards and beach stays came super handy for our trips to the various beaches on the island. The house was clean and comfy for all of our needs. Would definitely stay here again!

This place was such a good find. We are so happy with the selection. There were a lot of other properties at these estates but selected this one based on the space and room arrangement. The layout was amazing for our group (2 adults, 2 grandparents, 2 toddlers). There was a very detailed info binder, kitchen is fully stocked, bathrooms have all amenities and we really appreciated the smart tvs in every room. We loved the patio Outback and the space behind us, along with all the beach/swim gear available. The only down side was the AC situation (no central ac, separate window ac units, but ceiling fans helped) and island critters, which we were warned about in the binder. We learned quickly how to avoid them though (just don’t leave ANY crumbs).
All in all, would stay here again and enjoy the North Shore !!

I felt this property was just okay. Here is our breakdown:
Pros:
*2 king beds are purple mattresses - very comfortable.
*Property grounds feel safe/clean
*neighbors friendly
*washer and dryer which was helpful
Cons:
*Downstairs bathroom doesn't work well! Toilet almost doesn't flush. Plan on flushing 2 to 3 times if there's a poop. Bathtub doesn't plug, so you lose your water. We put a bowl in there, trying to give our younger kids a bath, but then we also realized you run out of hot water after filling only a couple of inches
*Kitchen
*the microwave went out almost every time it was used. You will need to reset the breaker. Luckily it is in the kitchen. There is also an ant problem. Plan on bringing ziplocs and putting your food in the microwave or fridge to help prevent the issue.
Living room: This has a pull-out couch, but you are not allowed to use it. The fan in there doesn't work, so it gets a bit hot. The floors are strangely sticky. We tried to clean them with a wet rag, but it didn't help.
*I can handle most bugs, but we did have 4 cockroaches in our 4 day trip.
*First aid kit
*My daughter got a cut at the ocean, so we went back to the room to clean it. When we opened it up, it was full of mold and virtually no supplies. That was a big bummer!
Lastly, there was not even ONE extra blanket in the house. My older boy and girl wouldn't share a bed and had to use towels the first night. Luckily, we met a neighbor and they happily let us borrow a blanket! <3

The property manager was notified of the main living room ceiling fan not working on day 1, they did not repair it during our stay. It was warm and could have used the fan
All else was great

The Property Manager promptly answered all questions. The property location was perfect. It was close to Turtle Bay Resorts, infamous surf spots--Pipeline, Sunset Beach, and Waimea--garlic shrimp trucks, markets, beautiful hikes, and awesome golf courses. We would love to return!

We had an amazing visit to the North Shore. Our condo was very clean and the complex is very quite. Beds were very comfortable after long days of sight seeing.
Very close to Turtle Bay Resort, without the crowds. We were 10 minutes from Pipeline, so going back and forth for the contest was easy. Great launching spot to see Oahu....avoid Honolulu and Waikiki....dirty and crowded.
We spent 6 days here and will return.

We had a wonderful time at this resort. The condo is located on a golf course with easy access to the beach, trails, Haleiwa town and many other attractions. We loved that this condo had two floors, the first floor with a lanai looking out on the golf course and a master bedroom on the second floor with a bathroom. If one of us was awake early with jet lag, there was plenty of space to move around. Everything was attractive and really organized. Our one moment of confusion was trying to enter into the condo facility: you have to ring for security and they let you in the first time before you can retrieve the gate fob from the condominium for future use. There are tennis courts and pools and restaurants plus many food trucks down the road so even though it felt very quiet and rural, there was plenty of entertainment nearby. Thank you so much Helena for sharing your beautiful home!

We really enjoyed our stay at this resort as it was in a quiet area (which is what we wanted)! The drive to Waikiki was always over an hour but did give us options if we wanted to be in a busy city. We preferred the quaintness of this location. Helena was absolutely wonderful with communication and always responded promptly.

My family of 5 really enjoyed staying here! Turtle Bay location is amazing in itself, and this complex was great with its pools and tennis courts and nice quiet backyard and walking paths! Our two kids slept in the loft beds, and another in the second bedroom, and us two in the master. It was a perfect size with enough space for us all! Definitely have to make sure not to leave ANY crumbs and food (especially sweet fruits and foods) out or else these tiny bugs are all over them! Other than that, it was a lovely stay! Thank you for making our stay here so memorable!

We are a family of 4 and wanted a good location to explore the North Shore (and Oahu). This 2 bedroom + loft worked out perfectly. Its away from the crowds but within striking distance of everything on the island. It was clean and the manager was great at communicating. The miles of asphalt walking trails around the golf course were a huge plus for wonderful morning runs or evening walks. Its also a 2 minute walk to Lei's Lei's which is one of the best restaurants on the islands. Highly recommended!

The property itself was exactly what we expected from the pictures. It was simple, beautiful, and comfortable. My wife and I are both runners and we discovered on our first morning run that there are some gorgeous trail systems accessible from the golf course. We will definitely want to come back here some day.
