We felt very relaxed and comfortable in this condo. Air conditioning worked really well and beds were comfortable.

Perfect location for a mix of luxury and local living. Just a walk away from the Ritz hotel and Turtle Bay if you prefer an upscale experience. I highly recommend driving along the north side of the island as there’s plenty of beaches, local shops and mountain views with less tourist foot traffic. Would definitely stay here again!

The location near Turtle Bay resort and several lovely beaches within walking distance make this property the best place on Oahu to have a peaceful, relaxing stay.

The condo was just like it was listed and the instructions to get there and inside the community was easy to follow. The swimming pool was very nice to relax at after a day of exploring and the overall location was perfect.

Loved the location on North Shore Oahu. It is right off Kamehameha Hwy so easy to get to an out of for adventuring. Our first impression was that it was clean and well stocked with kitchen stuff to cook and eat meals. Loved eating breakfast on the screened in porch and watching the sunrise. There were a few quirks but we notified the host. And it wasn't Anything that truly affected our experience.

Great little spot to call home base for a few days. Communication with the host was easy and everything was as you see it in the listing.

It was a relaxing 2 days for our family as we were able to walk along the beaches one morning and spend a day at the Polynesian Cultural Center just15 minutes away. 2 couples were in the bedrooms, my adult nephew was in the upper room with twin beds and I slept on the sofa bed which was fine for 2 nights. We enjoyed the pool right out our door. Very clean and comfortable indoor furniture and a very pleasant spot on the patio for coffee and bird watching. The place will cool down enough with open windows and doors and the AC cooled off the living room for sleeping one night. Nearest grocery stores are 10-15 minutes either direction (though one is in a 'dry' town so no alcohol purchases). Rooms are as pictured on the site.

Everything was nice and as advertised. Our only complaint was small bugs on the kitchen counter that got into our breakfast muffins the first day but we just kept our food in the fridge for the rest of the stay.

Our stay could not have been better! The condo was exactly as described online. The instructions from arrival, getting in, parking, everything way exactly as our host described. We had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable, towels and linens were clean. I would definitely stay hete again!!!

This condo was perfect for our needs. Well appointed kitchen and plenty of towels. The open Loft can be difficult if sharing with adults as the living space is open and sound and light travels, but we knew that when we booked. Perfect set up for a small family and the location is perfect.

Location was great. Unit was clean and well equipped. Parking right out front. Walking to resort and beach was 2,000 steps. Not far. Worked out as we hoped

this condo is in an older building, but the unit was well. Cap slightly upgraded had everything you could need. There is a small lanai, perfect for cocktails or coffee The beach was a very short walk maybe 10 minutes
terri s.
September 2024

Two bonuses to staying here are: The pool and the view out the Lanai. Some resort pools are not heated - this one is kept at a perfect temperature, with lots of room for swimming laps or just enjoying being in it. It’s super-convenient being right next door. I was able to get a couple amazing Early morning photos here too. The sunrises can be amazing from the path that runs Along the golf course just behind the condo. I observed a huge turtle while snorkeling Turtle Bay. On our last evening we purchased Thai food at the Elephant Shack food truck and watched the sunset and surfers until dark at Sunset Beach, just a few miles away. Laila is a great host and is very responsive to any concerns you may have.

Classy condo with everything you need away from home. Each bedrooms have its own bathrooms. Place is so clean and spacious. Kitchen is wonderfully equipped with pots, pans, utensils. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Our vacation in Hawaii became more incredible because we had an excellent place to stay..

My partner and I found the space to be clean and comfortable and perfectly situated on the north shore so we could experience the best of the area. Proximity to the turtle bay resort was also great. We spent each day exploring the area via our rental car and would return home for dinner and sunsets at the resort, which was only a short walk away.

Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the condo considering how it was described and pictured in the advertisement. The location of the unit was great and we felt safe in the area, however, the condo itself hasn’t been maintained and didn’t meet our expectations. There were multiple coachroaches found dead in the apartment and a roach ran over my feet when washing dishes. The bathroom cupboards were in disarray with only 1 roll of toilet paper left in the cupboard that had clearly been water damaged. Other cupboards had random items in them too. The washing machine smelt mouldy and we were not prepared to use it to wash our clothes. The pillow for the couch had no pillow cases and were flat. The main bed was hard too. When we went to use a towel from the bathroom shelf, plaster dust fell from the towel onto the floor. We were also asked to strip beds and put towels and sheets into the washer before leaving. This wouldn’t have been a problem if it was evident that time had been spent cleaning the apartment prior to our arrival. We were asked to remove shoes before entering the condo which we did but then noticed all the dust in our feet. Internet wasn’t plugged in when we arrived and we had continuous trouble gaining access to live TV. The condo was cheaper than other condos in the area however we would still have expected a little more for what we received.

This is in a great location. Easy access to beaches, walking trains and restaurants. Great apartment layout with well-stocked kitchen. Easy drive to Honolulu area during off hours. During a rainstorm, we had a leak in the bedroom and over the sliding glass door. Owner was very responsive to my observation and was in immediate contact with the HOA for repairs. I’m sure this place will be back to standard very soon.

It had everything needed for a relaxing stay with 7 min walk to Turtle Cove. It was such a very lovely condo. 3 people more than comfortably stayed here. Close to Foodland, restaurants and shops with a car. We would most definitely stay here again.

Property was very clean and very comfortable. Loved that the unit actually has cable TV. Host was easy to get a hold of. Will stay there again. Highly recommend again.

The property grounds are amazing. Resort adjacent with access to the beaches and grounds, just far enough out on NoSho to feel a little remote from the hustle that can surround Oahu. Well done update with ample sleeping space, the pools are a life saver if needing to recoup from beach days. Pickle ball tennis, trails and wonderful access to grocery in either direction. Check is was easy and perfectly communicated. 7-10 min to falls, bays, sand or tide pool beaches.

Carpets and pots and pans and base boards were all dirty. Towels were very old and some bleach stained with other spots

Cathy and Vicki were amazing and rushed getting replacement appliances installed before our arrival. Amazing place and great service - would love to come back in the future - mahalo!

This place needs help. The refrigerator leaks water onto the floor, the upstairs bedroom is very hot and the portable air conditioner puts out a lot of heat and they only want you to use the air conditioners for 4 hours. I would not recommend this unit at all. Also the furnishings are not great either.
Ron T.
September 2024

The condo was in a great location on the golf course. The condo was a good value but was in need of some updates to the furniture and bathrooms. Most other apartments in the area had multiple AC units while this condo only had one in the living room making the bedroom warm in the summer. Overall, I would recommend this place for the budget friendly stay.

September 2024

The Good: Excellent location, well stocked with cleaning supplies, laundry detergent, and paper towels, brand new beach chairs (4), nice cooler for day trips, free parking, tile on bottom floor, pretty view on the deck, AC in living room and upstairs bedroom excellent. The Bad: Ants in the bathrooms (I would suggest Talstar to eliminate) kitchen cabinets need good cleaning inside and out, Tub in downstairs bath drains so slowly you have to take a shower in standing water (gross), no fan in downstairs bath, upstairs carpet stained, AC unit in downstairs bedroom never cooled the room at 72 degrees, which is the max you can set it for according to directions, Living room furniture not sufficient for 4 adults, no TV's in bedrooms (my fault for not checking the listing carefully, but we usually expect to have them on vacation), deck covered with bird poop. No place is perfect, but this unit could be fantastic with attention to a few details.

This was a great place for my daughter and I to hang out and relax! When we had issues, Joanne and her husband went out of their way to make things right. Super hosts!
Julie S.
September 2024

Location was great, but listing was misleading. The condo itself needs some improvements and the listing says AC but in reality there is one window unit in the main bedroom and it is also very loud. Other than that you have fans in each room. We kept windows and the sliding glass door open all day and ran fans all night. The kids struggled to stay cool in the loft and our toddler was so hot trying to sleep. We did not want to spend anytime there during the day. If you are sensitive to heat- it’s something to note. Also some lights and outlets didn’t work and the carpet needs replacing. If it were in a lower price range we wouldn’t feel the need to be as picky, but we’ve stayed on the north shore several times and feel we’ve had great comparisons.

The great: Location for access to north shore beaches. If you snorkel, you must go to 3 tables and electric beach, these two locations can not be beat on the island. Area is beautiful, explore each area of the Island, each has something different to offer. Nice to be away from the chaos and congestion of Honalulu etc. Driving is easy and seems shorter than it is, even with traffic once you slow down to Island speed!! Leather couch is spacious and super comfy, at least for the little time we spent sitting down. The ok: As mentioned, the condo could use some TLC, ceiling fan blades are gross, bathroom towel bar is loose and seems to want to come off, toilet in main bath runs and needs repair. Main bed A/C loud for sleeping, but easy to shut off prior sleeping with fan running and other A/C units running keeps things pleanty comfy. Only two beach chairs, no beach umbrella, but three beach mats come in handy. Oh, and the ceiling leaked in the main bedroom during two rains overnight. Good that it was over the floor and not the bed ha, ha. Nice kitchen with granite counters and more than enough plates, pans, supplies for any meal. We really enjoyed our stay, and am being picky about the minor imperfections, but I think they are good to know.
