Excellent, we will be back

We really enjoyed our time at this condo, it was well located, super clean and the free wifi was a bonus. The unit is stocked with everything you could possibly think of including beach chairs, snorkeling gear and boogie boards. It was really nice to be able to cook meals yourself and yet have the option of a meal or cocktail at the resort. Easy walk to the beach and centrally located to enjoy all the North Shore has to offer. We will definitely stay here again. Owner was a pleasure to deal with.

The best condo around! A 1st class place!!!

The condo was amazing!!! It was very clean, quiet and convenient! It is located just a 5-7 walk from the beach and just a short drive from many amazing beaches. The owner is great to work with, very polite and organized. This was the best rental experience we've ever had. If you're looking for a great place to stay this is it. We appreciated the new kitchen and the boogie boards and snorkel gear that guests can use. This is the best condo around!

We would stay again

We enjoyed our stay at this condo in turtle bay. I would recommend that you open the window in the bedroom when you first arrive to get a cross-breeze so that the musty smell disappears. We spent 4 nights and still could smell it in the bedroom (we didn't want to forcefully open the window). We slept on the pull-out couch in the living room and had no problem with it. The condo is beautifully decorated.
Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! We really appreciate you. Thanks for the great feedback, Many people have commented on how much they enjoy the furnishings. We have never had any other guests say there was any sort of musty smell and we have thorough weekly house cleanings to combat anything like that and all windows do open up to a great breeze. I can say that although it does rain a lot in Hawaii, many guests have commented about how impeccably clean the unit is and how nice the breeze is coming into the unit off the golf course from the screen porch. The nice island breeze will always take care of any stuffiness. Aloha and Mahalo again for staying with us.

Short on space

We have stayed in various units at turtle Bay for the past 8 years. We found that this unit didn't have the storage space that would have made our stay better. No place to put our suitcases. Locked cabinets in kitchen, hall closet, under bed full of stuff, master closet had a big trunk taking up all of floor space. Very limited condiments. I understand that it's a "bring your own" but we're accustomed to having a better supplied kitchen. Not only spices but cooking utensils. We had to clean some of the utensils prior to use. We liked the location of the unit and the air-conditioning. Other posts mentioned the children upstairs. We only noticed them at bedtime and when it was time to get up. The pitter patter of a little kid running to bed or to breakfast isn't an issue at all. We actually kind of liked it. We always knew when it was 9:00 pm.

Response from VrboOwner on 25 Mar 2020
James, thank you for staying with us, I'm glad you enjoyed your stay! Regarding your feedback: I'm sorry you felt like there wasn't enough storage. This is honestly the first time we've ever had a guest say that in over 5 years. As far as not having anywhere to put your luggage, I must respectfully disagree with that statement. We actually have a fold-out luggage rack just like they do in all major hotels and there is plenty of room in the bedroom closet to place luggage. We keep a few things under the bed for house-related needs such as a bin with spare sheets and a step ladder but that does not take away from luggage storage space since under the bed is not tall enough to put any luggage anyway. There is also a pantry closet in the kitchen that is unlocked and you may put luggage in there as well. Regarding locked cabinets in the kitchen and a locked closet: this rental is a vacation home for our family as is 95% of the units in this development as are many listed on VRBO. When we are not there, we rent it out. We have locked only a tiny portion of the cabinets; only 3 out of 10 cabinets in the kitchen and one hall closet for our personal belongings. There are still 7 cabinets and 2 closets (one in the bedroom and one in the kitchen) that are open for guests. We personally think there is a great amount of storage for a 1 bedroom condo. You mentioned other units have stayed in had more storage. This may be the case as other units have more bedrooms or an extra loft and some of the owners in our complex have chosen to enclose off their porch allowing for more storage. We have chosen not to do that as it would obstruct the breeze, remove the patio seating area and the lovely view of the golf course that we currently have. We have had many guests comment on how much they like our patio lanai and the open air feel out there. We feel that is more important to have a nice open feel on the lanai rather than seal it off in the name of extra storage like some units. You are right that we have very limited condiments. If you read our listing we do not advertise that we provide free condiments or spices to our guests other than basic condiments like salt and pepper. We stand by our decision, as a lot of condiments left out in the open in units in Hawaii can attract bugs and we pride ourselves in the cleanliness of our unit. You can read from our reviews how many people comment on how clean it was. I'm sorry you found a few utensils in a drawer that you felt were not clean. Again, we have never had that feedback before, nevertheless, we will have our cleaner make sure every single utensil is verified to be clean. We are always striving to improve our vacation rental so thank you for your feedback and please return soon! Aloha.

Beautiful Location! Great Owner!

With everything happening in the world Covid-19, during our stay...we had an amazing stay. The location allowed us plenty of privacy and space. Beaches weren't crowded, and local food trucks had amazing food at a very reasonable price. Now to the owner. Our plans changed 3 different times due to the airlines. He worked with us and allowed for flexibility to accommodate the changes. He was pleasant, understanding and offered great communication throughout the duration of our stay. The combination of a beautiful location and a fantastic owner makes this the perfect location. This an annual trip for us, this will definitely be the place we stay.

Just a little rough around the edges but newly remodeled kitchen was nice!

3 stars because I travel the world and I’m a tough critic. Positives first: This condo was very clean! Some parts recently remodeled, mainly kitchen and vanity area in bathroom, were done nicely. Towels were clean and fresh and plenty for the two of us. The pantry in the kitchen holds all the beach and pool needs you might have. That was great! All small appliances we used, the electric frying pan, toaster, and the bullet for smoothies worked perfectly. Plenty of nice dishes too. The bed was firm, very comfortable and furnished well. Plenty of hanging space for clothes and even some hangers and six large drawers. Loved that the laundry was available with detergent on hand! The decor was kept as light as possible throughout the condo because it is kind of dark. I am a sunlight girl so it was a negative. Other negatives for me is that it still needs some updo, mainly the bathtub fixtures. They are old and detract from the other nice redo that has been done. But they worked just fine. The condo is not pristine there are rust issues on outside furniture and inside lights but it’s super clean as I said before and decorated nice. FYI- (and you Douglas) I had one issue with a neighbor leaning over near the bedroom window air conditioner? while I was “dressing” freaking me out. The drapes don’t cover from end to end and needs a third panel. Living room are better. With that info, be aware the only AC is near the floor in the wall of the bedroom. To cool the rest of the condo you push the air with a fan. It does not have central air. The current fan system does work but bedroom is always colder. (Good for sleeping though) There are no movies available, nor a DVD player that I could see. In summary, the location is great and the complex, though older, is well maintained and quiet. You can walk to Turtle Bay Resort for brunch which we did. The pool is just steps away from the condo and was clean and refreshing, when it’s open. Would I stay there again? No. It was just too dark for my taste but all worked well for a base station for our 8 night stay.

Jeanie I'm glad you enjoyed your stay at the condo! Thank you for the great feedback, we always value all of our guests' feedback and recommendations. We are always looking for ways to improve and will be planning a brand new bathroom remodel in the near future. As far as the neighbor that accidentally startled you, we share a hose with our next door neighbor, the hose is near the AC unit outside. I believe he was simply turning on the hose outside. That is why he was leaning over as you said. I do apologize if you were startled. They are great neighbors that I trust and they would never invade our guests privacy in any way. There is only AC in the bedroom but there is a great breeze that comes in and there are fans in every room. Our condo is located on a nice shady section of the golf course. Many guests have commented how they loved the shady patio area. The pool is open at least 8 hours every day and is conveniently located just 20 yards from the condo. Once again thank you for staying with us, we're glad you had a great time. Aloha and come back soon.

Not Home Away From Home

My wife and I stayed at this condo for three days. Although the kitchen was upgraded and new the rest of the condo was dated and could have used a good cleaning. The drapes and windows had dark cob webs in the corners and the sills were dirty. The floor was gritty. There was one A/C in the condo and it was in the bedroom. When we turned it on it smelled like a swamp. When we looked closely we could see that it hadn't been cleaned in a while. It continued to smell the whole time we ran it. This may be because there is no air circulation around it. There are large plants blocking the front sliding door and they cover the A/C. My wife is asthmatic and sensitive to mold and mildew. The first night she was okay but by the second night we were thinking it was time to move to a hotel. Instead we drug the mattress to the living room and slept away from the room without A/C running. The bathroom was old and dated and the shower curtain needed cleaned. Don't let the pictures in the add deceive you. It's not as sleek and beautiful as it appears.

Joan, thanks for staying with us in our condo, and thank you for the useful feedback. We strive to make sure our guests have a terrific vacation, and your suggestions will help us do an even better job of that. We take our guest’s comfort very seriously, and so we are doing the following in response to your review. 1. We have received numerous reviews commenting on how clean the condo was for them, nevertheless, we have done a deep clean of the condo to make sure the windows are clean and the floors are also. We have also notified our cleaners to focus on the areas you mentioned that can be improved. 2. As far as the "swampy" smell when you turned on the AC, we have never had anybody complain about that in over 3 years of renting the condo out. I personally stayed there in the days after your stay and did not notice anything. It may have been a damp smell from the outside caused by damp, tropical, rainy weather that we can't really do anything about. I can assure you that our AC is not blocked by plants; it definitely has sufficient ventilation. We will continue to monitor that and if we notice that smell, we will notify our maintenance personnel. 3. I can certainly understand your wife being asthmatic and it makes sense that she wouldn't want to stay in a place that has mold and mildew. I can affirmatively say, our condo is very clean and does not have a problem with mold or mildew. We have an average satisfaction rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars and from the reviews, one of the things people love about our condo is how clean it is. We have excellent cleaners who take cleanliness very seriously. 4. I appreciate your feedback about the bathroom. It has been partially renovated and has a brand new granite counter, new sink, and new light fixtures. We have replaced the shower curtain you talked about and we will continue to upgrade the rest of the bathroom in the future. 5. Regarding how the pictures compare with the actual condo: Many people have reviewed the condo and have said the condo is exactly as pictured in the photographs. One Guest, Marky T said "The condo is exactly as pictured on VRBO." Another, Rebecca H said, "Everything that was advertised delivered!" We feel we have a great condo and we have advertised it openly and honestly. Again, thank you, Joan for the feedback, we appreciate all of our guests and we are glad you enjoyed your stay!

Lovely condo on the North Shore!

We stayed here for our honeymoon in December, and absolutely loved it! It was extremely clean, quiet, and had everything we needed. The owner includes amenities for at least a few days (ours lasted the entire week), as well as a huge variety of beach equipment. The AC and fans worked great, as did the washer and dryer. The neighbors were very friendly, and everyone we met along the way was as well. It was really nice to be close to Turtle Bay Resort for activities/meals, but also have the freedom to leave the resort and venture out into the neighboring towns. We will definitely come back to this condo the next time we're on the North Shore!

About the host

Hosted by Ryan

Host profile image
My name is Douglas; I was born and raised in California. One thing people know about me is that Hawaii is my favorite place in the world. I have had the great fortune of traveling to over 75 countries and Hawaii is still my favorite destination by far. I fell in love with the place when I decided to attend college on Oahu's North Shore. Hawaii was like nothing I ever experienced: the people were friendly, the water was clear and warm just like the air and there never seemed to be any shortage of outdoor activities. While in college I fell in love with the sport of surfing and started surfing the North Shore every day after school. I also took a real interest in the Polynesian people and culture. This interest has taken me to various parts of oceania besides Hawaii including: Tahiti, Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea and Fiji. Fortunately my friends and family all seem to share some of my passion for Hawaii and it has truly become a real gathering place for those close to me. When I'm not in Hawaii, I am a teacher and sales representative. I also lived in Brazil for two years doing volunteer work for my church; I speak fluent Portuguese and I'm learning Spanish. In my spare time I love hiking, camping, biking, swimming, traveling (obviously!) photography and travel writing. I have recently gotten interested in surf photography and have had several photographs published in magazines. I have also written a non-fiction travel book entitled 'To The Depths of Brazil' about an expedition some friends and I took to the Amazon Jungle in Brazil. I would like to welcome you into my home and hopefully Hawaii will captivate you as it has me and you will truly feel the spirit of Aloha during your stay.
Aloha and Mahalo!

Why they chose this property

I first came to Hawaii with my family in 1996 and we stayed in one of the condos at Turtle Bay. My family instantly fell in love with the place. It is so much more mellow in the 'country' than down in Waikiki. We loved the peaceful, relaxed pace on the North Shore, the lush, green landscape, the infinite pristine beaches and the real local Polynesian culture. The Turtle Bay condos seemed to bring all of that to our doorstep. There was an infinite amount of outdoor activities there: surfing, snorkeling, walking and biking trails, horseback riding, golfing, tennis, the list goes on and on.

What makes this property unique

Within a 7-10 minute walk of your condo there is terrific snorkeling, surfing, horseback riding, bike trails, golfing, tennis courts, tidepooling, beaches to relax on, deserted beaches, running trails etc. Within 10 miles of the property, there are over 10 world-class beaches to explore on the amazing The North Shore of Oahu.
