Everything was as advertised. As someone who also rents a vacation property through VRBO, I’d offer a few suggestions:
1. Add a working hairdryer. The one in the unit had a European plug!
2. Make coffee available to your guests.
Thanks for a nice stay!

This condo was amazing. The great location, ease of parking and getting to the beach and nearby Turtle Bay resort made it nice but the best part of this condo is that everything inside was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook a couple meals. The beach chairs and towels were a nice plus as well as the air conditioning in each room. We will definitely stay here again.

This was a lovely place to stay! Great location and neighborhood. The pools were perfect for us to cool off in. The whole condo was just very comfortable. The only issue was the AC in the living room. Didn't really seem to work.

We had an amazing time staying at this place. There’s such gorgeous beaches that we walked to multiple times a day. Highly recommend walking along the little trail by kaihalulu Beach all the way to Kahuku Point. We saw some monk seals!
Ry’s Poke Shack is phenomenal! Do not miss this place! I think about it every day.

Beautiful furnishings and a lot of space. Clean. It had everything we needed at this property. We loved having so much outdoor space. The location was perfect for us to walk over to the beach. The grounds were beautiful. We felt like we were in paradise and loved the peace and tranquility of the area. We would come back….

We did not know the unit was a second story entrance. No elevator. Had to lug bags up the steps. Location at turtle bay was excellent
We arrived on tome but had to wait on security to let us in. 2d floor AC is loud at night. No ice or ice making capability. I.e. no ice trays.

What a lovely and well maintained property. All the amenities for outdoor and indoor play. 5 star location to the most beautiful family beach locations and excursions. The check in process was so easy and we loved all the “little things” that were included (staple items provided) who wants to go to the store after a 14 hour flight for laundry detergent and toilet paper. They had everything from beach umbrellas to shampoo. This was our first time in Hawaii and certainly won’t be the last. Thank you for sharing your lovely home with us.

We enjoyed our visit to this condo overall. It’s a great location in the Turtle Bay Area and a short walk to the resort. We spent most of our time adventuring the north shore and the drive was easy to some of the popular beaches. The kitchen was clean and well equipped. The loft was very comfortable with a great half bathroom next to it, so you don’t need to go downstairs at night. Overall, I’d recommend!

Our family flew in for our grandson’s first birthday party. It was the perfect location to the party. It was also the perfect location to Turtle Bay 🌈 and everything in the North Shore. We love the North Shore and would not stay anywhere else. This was the first time at a rental as our family lives in Hawaii, but there was so much family staying that they could not accommodate everyone. I would definitely rent from this renters again. It was a great price and location. Bev the manager is great and always available if you need anything.

We enjoyed staying a few nights here while on Island. Great spot to walk to the beach or dinner at Roys. We enjoyed the pool area with our friend's kids one afternoon and it was great. The A/C is bedroom is a portable unit, but it did a great job. The living room A/C stopped working after the first day, but not a big deal since there was a nice breeze.

The complex is well maintained, and in easy walking distance of many beaches and the Turtle Bay Resort (now acquired by the Ritz). Our family did a horse ride through them - we walked to and from the horse ranch from our condo.
The condo itself is clean and comfortable. Really well stocked - even plenty of Keurig coffee pods!
This was the first time we stayed on the North Shore and we loved staying here. Thanks for the hospitality! We'll be back!

The accommodations were excellent - room for our family of 4. Very clean, kitchen utensils fully stocked, towels, beach towels, beach gear, etc!
BUT most importantly a short walk to the water AND light, easy shady trails! STAY HERE!
Do: shop for your breakfast- Bring cooking spray and condiments. Great lunch and Dinner spots in the area.

My family had an amazing stay at this condo. It was spotless and spacious for our family of 4 adults. It was well stocked and we very much appreciated the generous supply of toilet paper, paper towels, handsoap and kleenex. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. The beds and living room furniture were super comfortable. The air conditioner worked like a dream. The decor was really cute. The beach towels, umbrellas, chairs were also in great condition (which has been rare for us in previous rentals). Of course the best part was the beautiful North Shore location! My family and I have stayed in various Kuilima Estates condos, and this was by far our favorite. Don't hesitate to book this place!

We had a great time in the property. The bed was very comfortable. It's a bit dated if you care about that, but was pretty clean. There was some sort of animal droppings on the outdoor mat that we stepped in our first day, and other places on the outdoor area. But it was clean inside. Everything you needed in the kitchen as well. Was nice to have beach chairs and boogie boards available as well. Had to navigate our own way to the beach etc, as there were no instructions. It's a drive to anywhere, and we were there for a wedding so did rent a car. The beach that you can walk to is only 7 minutes away and it was beautiful. The Ritz Carlton is a short walk away and it is incredible. It was relatively quiet, except for a few little babies who were uncomfortable - in surrounding apartments. We loved sitting on the patio in the morning having breakfast. Would stay again.

The condo filled our space and location needs exactly. Management was responsive to our requests. The space was very clean and well-equipped. We had been notified that the dishwasher was not operational (no compensating reduction in rental was offered). Would recommend.

This condo was great! The kitchen had everything we needed. There was enough K cups to last 4 coffee loving adults for the long weekend. The place was clean it was a bonus that they provided beach towels and beach chairs for us to use. My only complaints were that the upstairs loft room was pretty hot. We had all of the AC units going and it was still very warm up there. Also the bathtub/shower in the hall didn’t drain. The water sat there for a long time before going down which made multiple people showering in there kind of difficult. The host was very responsive though and the check in process was super easy! Would stay here again.

Wonderful location away from the crowds of Waikiki. The full service kitchen with full size refrigerator/freezer/ice maker enabled us to keep fresh fruits,drinks/perishables. For fresh food, go to Laie. It’s 15min in a southerly direction and Includes Foodland grocer/Mcdonalds/gas station. Lots of parking without the crowds. Kids loved seeing chickens running in parking lot.
With all my heart, I recommend this location to stay. This unit’s location is hands down convenient to exit and enter from main roadways. Trust me when I recommend this, for I am 3rd generation from the North Shore and visiting from WA State. Warmest Aloha and enjoy your next adventure.

We couldn’t be happier with our stay. The owner was prompt, kind and so helpful. Our original reservations put us down for the wrong date, 2025 instead of 2024. They fit is in within a very quick time, saving us.
The house and accommodations were amazing and the location was clean and quiet. We can’t recommend this location enough. We will definitely be staying here again!

We loved the access to the beach. The house was ok except for the bathroom. The tub had trouble draining. No fan in the bathroom or window so it was pretty musty.

This condo was just as described (and clean!) easy to find and within walking distance to the Turtle Bay resort and restaurants. Alii Beach Rentals were responsive to my questions, that made it a good experience also.

We absolutely loved our stay here and would stay again if available. The house was clean and well kept. We loved all the beach accessories like boogie boards, sand toys, chairs and beach towels. It’s super close to turtle bay and the beach is just a 10 minute walk. A/C worked well and kept us cool when it was hot. Excellent place if you’re looking for a relaxed location close to all of the North Shores attractions. Polynesian Cultural Center was a highlight.
