Great location! Great amenities! Lovely condo, the wifi and Satelite tv didn’t work, but with so much to do we didn’t notice! Definitely will stay again

Great location on North Shore. It lays within the Turtle Bay resort. The condo was not very clean. Oreo found under the bed upstairs.Air conditioning units in bedroom downstairs and in bedroom upstairs. Not enough to cool the condo down . Also no where to sit outside condo unless you go o to the pool. Also when we received the check in and check out instructions, a list of what every individual item in condo would cost us to replace. I have rented multiple properties and never received a list like this before.

We had such a fun time in the North Shore and wished we planned a whole weeks stay instead. The hosts are wonderful! From booking the stay to checking out, the hosts made it easy and painless. They were responsive and helpful throughout. The location of the property is so convenient and we were able to enjoy destinations within walking and reasonable driving distances.

Gina was great from the start with everything. The condo was clean and perfect size for our family. My sister and her family were staying at Turtle Bay Resort so this was perfect. Literally one of the closet units to the resort. Would definitely recommend! Thank you Gina!!

The host is extremely thoughtful and had everything we needed. The location was a 10 minute walk to the beach and easy to get to. Perfect stay. Would recommend a curtain in the second floor loft area 😁😎

This property is an amazing place to stay. Very clean and the communication with owner and property manager was outstanding. They had everything we needed to enjoy our stay there.

This property was very clean and exactly as advertised. The only issue I'd say would be that the ceiling fan in the living room was not working but the property provided additional fans. They could have added that the condo was on the bottom floor (we arrived a little late and lighting was not the best to see condo numbers). Otherwise the stay itself was just perfect! Thank you so much for having us!

A great place to stay on the North Shore! Took walks right from the condo to beautiful places and a short drive to the most beautiful beaches on the island!

We chose this vacation rental for its closeness to the nearby resort. The rental is well-stocked with kitchen, laundry, and beach essentials. The host was very responsive, and we felt very safe in the area. We enjoyed walking to the beaches on both sides of the nearby resort and used their restaurants a few times. If you want to stay on the North Shore, this is a great property!

“Newly remodeled, perfect condition condo” is so laughable! “Deluxe, Spacious, Clean”— Nope! Seriously, DO NOT stay here! The description of this place is not accurate! It was truly the WORST we’ve ever seen and absolutely disgusting. I’m so shocked that the owners would think this place is okay! We’ve stayed at Turtlebay condos many times and have always had such a wonderful experience. Added two nights here to extend our stay. I quickly booked after seeing “8.0 Very Good” and should have read recent reviews, because oh how accurate they were! Filthy. Bugs all over (especially by sink-no garbage disposal), spiders, and ants all over the unit, even crawling on me in bed! Cobwebs, dust and debris everywhere, particularly on and around furniture. Hair and white flakes in sheets. Long black hair in the shower, clump by the toilet and on bathroom walls. No “dresser” but a storage box with bins. AC leaking water with large pool underneath with water damaged baseboards. Spider city around the ac and very loud right by your face at night. Dryer vent blows right into unit and stinks. Flat and clumpy pillows, does not sleep 4 maybe two small kids on a dirty and stained couch. Loud, can hear all the cars. Host was to send cleaners, but they never came. Offered only to refund cleaning fee if I promised to not write a negative review. What a joke. This condo needs an extensive deep clean and major effort to have it be what they list it as! I have pics and videos of proof I sent to VRBO.

The lay-out and location is nice, Northshore is fantastic. The placecurself was not clean.....sticky table we had to clean, floor was dirt y (had to clean our feet before getting in bed after showering).

Very nice clean condo. Perfect for two couples, my wife, daughter and her husband. We stayed for six nights. The location is unbelievable, ten minutes from snorkeling at sharks cove and ten minutes to the PCC. We would definitely stay again.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The condo is located in a great spot, the only suggestion we would have is to change/clean the dishwasher as it’s riddled with mildew which was quite gross. It made the condo smell of mildew as well. Other than that, we really enjoyed our time there.

The host was very responsive when we had trouble with the gate and waited on the phone to make sure we got in ok. The condo was just like the pictures and was very clean. We used the pool and went to the beach at turtle bay which was super close. Nice gated area with security sitting on golf carts right outside. Had no issue with noise of street or neighbors. Had extra blankets and fans. Tons of beach and swim gear in the giant storage bin on the lanai. Would recommend!!

We had a great stay! It was perfect for my immediate family and my parents. Both rooms have window AC units which worked great. We only used them at night and they cooled the rooms down perfectly. The living room had a ceiling fan and when we opened the front door and the sliding door to the lanai, we got a nice breeze that came through. The pool was great, the location was great, everything was great! I would definitely stay here again. Thank you!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cozy and clean condo on the walk out of the complex onto the Turtle Bay Fazio course. Bed was very comfortable and there was AC making it pleasant to sleep. Easy access and parking. Great location! Drive or walk to the beach or golf. We did both.

Really loved our stay. The condo was great. We could walk to the beach, restaurants, stables, golf course and pools. Also a very central location to the different beaches we wanted to visit. Emily was great and easy to communicate with. If we ever get to return we would definitely want to stay here again. ☺️

July 2024

Great stay! The location was amazing. Access to the resort grounds without having to be in the middle of the resort. The pool is just steps from the front door. It is the tranquility pool its supposed to be quite in the pool area (nobody really abided by this). There are pickleball/basketball/tennis courts within a short walk. Our only real complaint is no air conditioning in the living/dining room and kitchen downstairs. There are window units in the bedrooms. These worked ok with the addition of fans. Would definitely stay again but definitely on the warm side if you go in the hotter months.

We had a great time for our getaway. The kitchen was equipped with everything we might need including spices and ziplock bags. The toiletries were ample. It’s close to the perfect beach for families…. Offering waves, shells, sea glass to be found and shallow areas for our young kids on a rock shelf during low tide.

The check in and driving instructions were perfect. We found the condo and got into the unit without a hitch. The condo was small, but clean and comfortable. The bed in the master bedroom was extremely comfortable and our children reported that the other beds were comfortable as well. The condo has all of the dishes/silverware that you will need for a weeklong stay. The kitchen is small, but can fit two people comfortably to cook meals. The fridge was a full size fridge and stored everything we needed. The Pur water filter was a nice touch! There were beach chairs, boogie boards, beach mats, a cooler and other beach items. A/C in the unit worked great and helped keep us cool at night. Overall, I would recommend this to everyone. We had five guests and could have been comfortable with maybe one additional person. It was the perfect size for our family.

This condo was perfect for 2 people. Very relaxing with the tropical breeze flowing through. The condo had all the amenities needed for our stay. The property on turtle bay had everything from walking paths, pool, restaurants and the beach. This place is worth coming back to.

Exactly as described and pictured. Peaceful, cool cross breezes (it was mid 80’s and we didn’t use the AC once), clean, and comfortable sleeping arrangements. The property manager was communicative and accommodating. This was a great unit for my son and I to stay in, and we would stay here again given the opportunity!

Very nice place

July 2024

Property was in good condition and host was very responsive with and questions or issues. Also, very well stocked with beach supplies (chairs, sand toys, snorkels, etc) Property is on the a bit dated, but suited our family of 4 just fine with plenty of space for us to unwind after our adventures for the day. Access to Turtle Bay amenities was a plus.

This is the 2nd time my family has stayed in this condo, 4th time in the complex. We love this area. The condo itself is just as described. The ac units were great, which is why we choose to stay in this particular condo. A couple of the other rentals in this complex only have one window unit that does not cool the entire condo. The property manager was super nice and very easy to get a hold of with minor things that came up and She responded and called me immediately and things were taken care of. The condo is fully stocked beach chairs, cooler, umbrellas, boogie boards and snorkeling gear. All of the things you do not want to worry about having to bring on vacation. Great for a family who want to get Jaout of the city of Waikiki and see the gorgeous island of Oahu. It’s a very safe area. You don’t have to worry about your car unlike other parts of the island. Only negative and it has absolutely nothing to do with the property Itself, but there is an older resident who is a very unpleasant person and made a few of our days NOT so great on our vacation. I had to intervene when she was yelling at my youngest son, she called me names. She sat and watched us go into the pool and swim. She stared at us the entire time swimming which was very uncomfortable. Sadly, from speaking to a couple other residents who live there full-time, this is her normal. I just wanted the owners of the property to know that she is going to eventually cause people not to want to stay at the property.

Overall we had a great stay. The property manager was good to work with. No major issues with the property. We were close to everything we wanted to see and do. The beach was a short walk away and loved backing up to the golf course. The condo was dated and not very clean when we arrived. We had to clean dishes, the microwave, and vacuum. The property manager apologized and offered to send the cleaners back out, but we had already done the cleaning. My guess is they will find a new service. Pool was not far away and was not bad. We were at the ocean most of the time, but it was nice to go lounge around. Can't beat the location though!

This is a pretty standard condo with some nice features and some that did not work as expected. Beginning with obtaining and dropping off the key fob, it requires a 10-15 min drive (depending on traffic) to retrieve and to return, even though presumably the cleaners could return it. Not a huge issue but a bit annoying. Our main issue was the A/C. When we entered the condo, it was extremely warm and it took a long time to cool down. The A/C is actually a single unit on the floor in the bedroom that does not really cool down the living area, and the unit is extremely noisy for those in the room. That was definitely a negative for us. You can open the sliding doors to get a cross breeze but we were here in the summer and it was generally a warm breeze. The lanais were nice, location was fine with the caveat that the only available food in the immediate area is at the hotel, which is extremely nice but expensive, otherwise a bit of a drive, again not the end of the world but something to know. The pool is very nice and overall the condo was fine but from our perspective, just fine.

We had a good time at this flat. Its a nice location, our teens enjoyed the pool. Unfortunately the sofa bed is very old and not made for two people. Some things could be removed to make a bit more space for luggage and stuff. Nevertheless we recommend the flat.

This is by far the best location on the island. We were granted early check in which helped us get settled in nicely before dinner. Upon arrival we were pleasantly surprised how spacious the unit was. The condo was tidy, but needs a few extras for longer stays(ie. Dishes, we did a lot of loads just to have enough dishes for every meal). This condo is close to some amazing beaches, hikes and food trucks. We had access to everything Turtle Bay Resort offers accept the pool and gym. We spent most of our days at the many pristine beaches nearby which were all located only a short drive from the condo. The best Luau was just a short drive down the road..Toa Luau was intimate and authentic(I've done many, this was the best yet) The resort has a wonderful beach front restaurant that you can grab a cocktail or light bite during the day and traditions into an elegant dining experience at night. The bar in the main resort has live music, billards and shuffle board for those who have the inclination. I absolutely love North Shore for the vibe, proximity and R&R. You'll definitely get the 'Ohana' here. We'll be back! The a/c wto sit on the sure!

Great spot to vacation, we will be back. I love that its in Turtle Bay, within walking distance of the beach and food. We had an absolute blast!

It is just the perfect townhouse in the perfect area. Access to the beach is just a short walk and it is totally worth it. The townhouse has all the amenities you would need!
