About this property

Oceanfront & Ground floor- sleep to the sound of waves!

This is the most perfect white sandy beach and welcoming turquoise water on the North Shore and perhaps the whole island of Oahu, where you can snorkel all day protected by the reef. You can float for hours, stand up paddle or kayak. Lounge chairs are provided in the shade for those just wanting to read a book under swaying palm trees. Boogie boards, sand toys, snorkels, and an umbrella are ready to make your beach day complete. Splash in the salt water pool. Turtles and fish are complimentary!

Wake up to a gorgeous sunrise, and walk up and down a quiet beach to soothe your soul. Outdoor dining area means all meals can be outside, from an amazing sunrise to a golden sunset. Meanwhile the turtles, whales & fish are all at play and you may be lucky enough to enjoy their company!
This is a large ground floor unit, you walk right out to a big green lawn and the ocean. You have a covered lanai with outdoor seating for 6 and a lounge chair. Unit is 726 sq ft. plus 240 sq ft lanai, that's right 946 sq ft!

One large bedroom with a Cal King bed, deluxe mattress topper, large closet, dresser & nightstands. Queen sofa bed is comfy and has a deluxe mattress topper as well. Closet to hang clothes, large dresser, black out curtains, dream machine.

This unit has been renovated with a new kitchen & bathroom, & freshly painted. Bedding & linens constantly updated. Original art through out just gives you the cozy feel of home.
The off shore tradewinds are Hawaii's year round natural AC. Front screen door allows the breeze to go right through, in addition to 2 ceiling fans.

We are only 20 minutes away from world famous Turtle Bay Resort & golf course, Polynesian Cultural Center, famous Kahuku food trucks. 30 minutes away you will find Pipeline, Sharks Cove, Waimea Falls and the wonderful town Haleiwa. Haleiwa has lots of shopping & restaurant options. Dole Plantation is near by and a must for their pineapple ice cream! There is so much to do if you want to be busy, but if you just want quiet there a palm tree with your name on it! We are in a very quiet area with two Mom & Pop grocery stores across the street and 3 food trucks, and a cute coffee takeaway. Larger grocery stores and gas stations are within a 5 minute drive.
If you want a beautiful stay, and not spend all your time in the car driving everywhere this is a place that will sooth your soul.

This listing is completely as advertised. My wife and I had absolutely zero issues. Owner/manager are very responsive and helpful. Beach is awesome and the sea turtles are an added bonus. We loved not having the hustle a bustle of the big city and the north shore is so fun.

Nice place to stay on North Shore. Close to PCC and Kualoa Ranch. Sign up for a free Maika card at Foodland in Laie. You'll save a lot on groceries. Turtles on beach every night is fun and educational. Walk out to the beach from this 1st floor condo!

Amazing oceanfront stay!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Turtle Haven. Carole was exceptional with communication. Check in was easy, peppery location was amazing. Had all of the necessities for a 6 day stay. Turtles on the beach after sunset and before sunrise each morning. Weather was very windy this time of year which made snorkeling hard, but didn’t damper our time!

If you want a secluded spot with the best private beach you can’t ask for me. Carole was amazing as an owner. Only one caveat… if the trade winds aren’t blowing it can get pretty warm in the condo. Only thing I can say that was negative.

The condo was very clean, had a great kitchen and was very comfortable. Carole did a great job of communicating with us. The only downside: If you have any issues with strong scents, you might have some difficulty with this place. The couch and all decorative pillows and throw blanket were sprayed with something very strong smelling. Strong scented dryer sheets were put in all of the dresser drawers. Our sinuses were killing us from the strong smells. We solved the issue by piling all of the pillows and throw blanket in a corner of the living room, covered the couch with the extra sheets, and put the box of very strong scented dryer sheets that were under the sink in the bathroom outside. Just FYI - the bedroom is located on the street side of the building and next to the elevators where people tend to congregate and talk & you will hear cars at night.

Loved Our Stay!

We were more than thrilled with our stay! The condo has everything you could need, and more! The view is incredible, and while walking the beach at night, we always saw several large sea turtles. The location is away from the hustle-and-bustle of the busy city, which we enjoyed. Carole, the property manager was easy to communicate with, and always readily available to offer suggestions nearby attractions. We can't wait to come back!

Perfect Beach Getaway

My 10 year old daughter and I loved everything about the condo. Being able to literally walk out the door and onto the beach made our vacation a thousand times better! Geographically, the location is perfectly situated to easily explore the North Shore and surrounding areas. I highly recommend Carole’s place and hope to be back.

The location is great to visit Kualoa Ranch (<15 min), Polynesian Cultural Center (10 min), Turtle Bay Resort (20 min), the famous North Shore (30 min), Dole Plantation (~40 min), and about 45 min to Waikiki. Other stops near by include: Ted's Bakery for their famous pies, Hukilau Cafe - wonderful banana pancakes, and the famous Bonsai Pipeline.

Relaxing Family Vacation

Overall, being able to wake up in the morning and walking out right on to one of the most beautiful beach on Oahu was amazing! The best part was waking up during sunrise with my son and walking towards the left side of the beach and seeing sea turtles, crabs, various types of birds and even sea cucumbers at the end of the beach. This trip felt like being in paradise while we were there.

Marvellous ground floor!

Loved walking out on to the lanai and grass.Could see the turtles at night on the beach when they came ashore to sleep. Some units were owner occupied and we were invited to join in a 4 o’clock “cocktail “ hour. Picked up fresh seafood from local market yum! Folks were super friendly and taught my husband how to barbecue on briquettes. There was a hiccup with the cable and owner worked hard to resolve.

Paradise!

We absolutely loved this property! It's located on a quieter part of the island, which we really enjoyed. We absolutely slept to the sound of waves every night and watched the sun rise to the sound of the rooster crow every morning. We could often find sea turtles nearby after dark and took full advantage of the easy access to the beach. The property has plenty of amenities including beach gear and towels and access to a pool and workout room. The space is decorated beautifully, and we enjoyed everything about it!

Beach Front Get Away

The Condo was everything you need and some. It was wonderful having the beach with in walking distance. Beach was our own personal area. Was perfect, not huge waves. Enough to go in and enjoy. The condo - very clean. Exactly what we needed. Bedroom does face the parking lot - some nights a little loud due to people arriving. But nothing bad. Definitely a place for some R& R. And that’s why we chose this place. Would love to rent it again in the future Thank you Carole, for your accommodations.

We saw lots of turtles. Bed in condo was comfortable and the space in conda was great for us. We loved sitting out on the patio every day.

"Slice of Heaven"

We needed a quiet and relaxing atmosphere after we both lost all of our parents in the first 6 months of this year. This was the perfect place, with an incredible host. The condo was beautiful and clean; very well thought-out. The beach was right there so we never did use the pool. It was fun watching and snorkeling with the turtles right off the beach. We will return should we visit the North Shore again!

Beautiful and clean

Right next to beach. Quiet area of island that we really enjoyed. Everything works in unit and it is very clean! There is no oven in the unit but there is a small countertop air fryer/oven appliance. The bed is pretty comfortable. Lots of cups, glasses, plates, etc. The elevator is next to the bedroom - it is pretty quiet though and didn’t hinder my sleep at all. It was lovely listening to the surf all day/night!!

Oceanfront hideaway

If you don’t want the hustle of the busy Waikiki and want more of a quiet, countryside, oceanfront experience right out your back door, then stay here. Fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean and wake to the roaming Roosters then take 20 steps to the sand and waves crashing! Sea turtles come up on shore just before dark so perfect for a sunset stroll. Carole was a perfect host and has thought of every amenity for the space!! It’s an open floor plan with the perfect breeze way for the ocean air to circulate! Food trucks are walking distance which was perfect! There is construction at the site but only during week days and we were gone most days so it didn’t effect us. The work is mostly at the far right end currently so it wasn’t too bad where we were the times we were there during the day.

100 star rating for the beach

We've stayed in a number of VRBOs in Hawaii and being beachfront is always my number one priority. Hands down, this property has the best beach that I've ever had the pleasure of enjoying. The beach is absolutely private and steps from the condo. The water is gentle and relaxing as there is a reef further out that breaks the surf up. The condo is nicely updated and decorated. For those that are light sleepers, you should be advised that the bedroom faces the parking lot, road and is next to the elevator. We wore earplugs and had to keep the windows shut which made getting a cross breeze at night difficult but we were okay with the fans on. The bed was very comfortable. Carol was incredibly helpful and responsive to messages. Overall, it was a wonderful visit and we would definitely stay at Carol and Janet's place again!

What makes this property unique

Location, location, location! The white sand beach, gentle waves because of the reef which makes it easy to snorkel or float for hours. Great beach for kids, or just reading a book.

This spot is so sweet it takes my breath away. You are close enough to Waikiki (45 min), Polynesian Cultural Center ( 4 miles away), Turtle Bay Resort, Haleiwa, and famous North Shore beaches such as Sunset, Pipeline, Waimea are 20 minutes away. Airport is 45 minutes Drive through the beautiful Koolau mountains and and explore miles of beaches.
