I have absolutely no complaints about Lucille, as she was more than accommodating and kind. The condo is clean and well maintained, very well stocked and quaint. The people in the apartment complex are very friendly and quiet. The lanai is large and beautiful. Some downsides: the guest room is small and is beside the parking lot/ street which was very noisy. The guest beds are very uncomfortable and I did not sleep a wink for the 3 nights we stayed there. The guest bath is extremely small and dated, and the shower looks like it was sized for a very small person. Seriously, I am 5'3 and barely squeezed under the shower head. The TV is small and dated and had a horrible picture quality. Hot water ran out rather quickly. I'd have to say I was a little disappointed but the town and the owner were wonderful.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/2

We just returned from a 5 day visit and it wasn't long enough! We didn't want to leave. The complex is beautiful, well maintained, quiet and friendly. Lucille is the "hostess with the mostest"! Her home is perfectly appointed and set-up to function well. Just steps away from a beautiful beach, perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The sunrise brings the dawn song of the birds and the joy of turtles swimming in the surf. Lots of good places to eat, good shopping. We love Haleiwa and recommend far and above being in the Waikiki area! A visit to the Polynesian Cultural Center is a must see, plan on being there by noon and doing the full experience of the sights, the luau and the "Ha - Breath of Life" show. Dole Pineapple Plantation is just a few minutes away and definately worth a visit. Lucille was very communicative and responsive from our intial inquiry, through booking and even when there was a problem with the wireless connection and cable TV. (She had that fixed in less than 24 hours). If we are ever back on Oahu this is where we will stay! Thank you Lucille for a wonderful vacation!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed in this 2BR for a week and loved it! The beach was right across the lawn and everyone living or renting there was low key, neighborly and friendly. We woke to the birds every day - including the wild chickens (not kidding - they are all over Oahu). There were honu (turtles ) a short walk down the beach, great food in town if you don't want to cook at home, and lots to do on the North Shore (surfing, paddle-boarding, hiking, taking it easy). The only downside - the beds in the second BR are not twin size and should be updated. They are narrow and hard. Twin beds or even bunks from Ikea would be a major improvement. Try the Thai restaurant in town, or Jameson's for a really good dinner. There are a lot of choices if you poke around Haleiwa. Avoid Breakers - they are nice people, but the burgers were terrible, and not cheap. Mahalo Lucille!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

My husband and I, along with 2 adult children are just finishing up our week here and are sad to leave! What a beautiful place! It's clean, well stocked with beach gear, Hawaiian snacks, and tons of clean linens. There is a lovely ocean view and the beach is only steps away. We have been so comfortable here. The shops of Haleiwa are within walking distance with lots of nice restaurants too. Great place, great location! The owner, Lucille, was helpful and friendly and provided tons of info for us. We recommend snorkeling at Sharks Cove - amazing!!!!Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

This was a big vacation for us. We came to visit family but also wanted a quiet private experience on the north shore. The condo was very nice and well equipped. The beach is steps away and there is a lovely view from the lanai. Haleiwa is walking distance from the condo with everything to enjoy. Lucille provided all kinds of information about activities, restaurants and shopping. The beach was amazing. We enjoyed every minute including some awesome sunsets. Snorkeling, watching the turtles and lots of walks on the beach.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Lucille, we stayed at your condo from 6/28 thru 7/9. It was truly everything we wanted, peaceful, the ocean view was perfect and the beach was steps away from the condo and you were right, water is perfect for swimming, snorkling and the turtles were around us alot. We would like to thank you so much for the wonderful time we had at your place..we look forward to going back and hopefully staying there again. sincerely, Richard and Del RuizRecommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Hello Lucille, I wanted to touch base with you and let you know that we absolutely enjoyed our stay in Hawaii and at your condominium. It was the perfect place for our family. Plenty of room, beautiful setting and the best beach around!! We took full advantage of spending countless hours playing on the beach and in the water. We went to Hanauma Bay one day to snorkle but all decided that the snorkeling on our beach was much better and far less crowded. We saw many, many sea turtles and the water was PERFECT for swimming. Thank you, again, for your hospitality and for renting the condo to us. We will definitely be back and be sure to recommend it to anyone we know that will be vacationing in Hawaii.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children, sightseeing.

Renting this condo from Lucille was the perfect experience--prompt answers to questions, easy payment, etc. This condo had everything we needed--towels, sand toys for the beach, a cooler for picnics that we did indeed use everyday, dishes, etc. The pictures here are exact--the view is amazing. I loved waking up to the sound of the ocean. Open all the windows, enjoy the breeze, and savor paradise. Oh, we'll be back, my kiddos did not want to leave.Recommended for: Families with teenagers, families with young children.

Our family has enjoyed this beautiful condo on three separate occasions. It provides an ideal place for our family vacations – beautifully decorated and furnished condo, gorgeous, quiet, clean and almost private beach, central location to every attraction in Oahu and last, but not least, this complex provides for a great Hawaiian experience from the mix of a few vacationing families and lots of permanent local residents. I recommend it highly.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway.

Our kudos to the owner of this condo. It is a lovely, spacious, clean, and comfortable condo which made us feel right at home. Very well equipped with towels, sheets, blankets, pillows etc etc. The beach was especially wonderful for my 4 year old granddaughter who would stay in the water all day if she could. Our appreciation to Manager Todd for his hard work everyday - the grounds are well kept and clean. Plus he is very helpful with any questions or concerns that you may have. Great place to just walk and get your daily exercise. This was our best stay (and we tried different places) which made our vacation one that we will never forget.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

I wasn't sure what to expect as we traveled to the condo since I had not used VRBO before. This condo is not in a commercial resort. It is your vacation home. The beach is a walk across the lawn. The condo is spacious and has all the linens you will need including beach towels as well as kitchen necessities to cook or not cook. The beach is clean with enough sun and shade to please everyone. I could live there....it is paradise. I can't imagine staying anywhere else. You can believe the pictures that are on the web site - yes even the one of the sunset over the ocean. The picture of the sunset over the ocean on the web site is exactly what you see on your balcony. Haleiwa is a really nice town with lots of places to explore. Turtle beach is a few miles up the coastal highway where you are within a few feet of huge sea turtles that bob in and out with the surf.Recommended for: Adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this condo. The best part is the location. Although not right on the beach, it has a beautiful ocean view and is only a few steps from the beach. We really enjoyed the proximity to Old Town Haleiwa, not to mention all of the great beaches and sites that the North Shore has to offer. The condo is very cozy and accommodated the 5 of us quite well. It was well equipped with sheets, towels, beach chairs, even a boogie board for my son to play with. We would definitely recommend for people who would like to stay in a quieter area with gorgeous views.Recommended for: Girls getaway, romantic getaway, sightseeing.
