Turtle Bay

"We loved our stay here. The location was perfect for exploring the north shore of O'ahu. 10 minutes to Laie in one direction and 15-20 minutes to Haleiwa in the other direction and plenty of beach options in either direction. We loved the nice swimming pool which we would go to after being at one of the many wonderful beaches nearby. The unit is on the ground floor which was nice too. Inside the unit was very nice with a nice kitchen, bathroom and living room as well as a bedroom. We liked having a fully stocked kitchen (mostly for breakfast) and plenty of space for watching TV or getting stuff done on a laptop. The Wifi was fast and reliable. It was also nice having a washer/dryer to do laundry. There is a wall unit A/C in the bedroom which helped for sleeping at night because it did get hot (we were there in mid August). But it is sort of loud when it kicks in and off during the night, so we slept better with foam ear plugs. If you leave the windows open for the breeze, just be aware that the birds in the large trees outside the bedroom will wake you up very early (another reason for the ear plugs), but what a nice way to wake up and be reminded that you're in Hawaii! Also, we appreciated that there were beach chairs, umbrella, towels and snorkeling gear in the closet to use at the beaches. That was a nice surprise. There was also an air mattress in the bedroom closet which we never used since we didn't have our kids with us on this trip, but you could easily sleep a few more in the living room between the air mattress and the couch. We loved our stay in this condo and would highly recommend it."

"My teenage daughter and I stayed here for 5 nights and loved it! The condo is overall very comfortable, well laid out, and well stocked. The bed was very comfortable allowing for great sleep. The unit was clean and the owners were wonderful to work with along the way. It is the closest unit to the beach of the condos, which was nice. A very easy walk. Beautiful resort feel without having to pay the high price of Turtle Bay resort itself. Nice public beach suitable for swimming for all ages. The trails surrounding the area are great to walk and explore. The complex is gated so we always felt safe. Next time I come to North Shore, I will definitely come back to this unit."
