We enjoyed our stay at Turtle Bay and would definitely recommend it to a friend. We do a lot of traveling to the Hawaiian islands and stay in hotels, condos, beach houses, etc. The owners did a nice job supplying this condo and making it comfortable for guests. The only thing we needed that it didn't supply was a flashlight, the power went out for a couple of hours the night before we left. We enjoyed our stay, thank you.
This condo was perfect for our needs. It was very affordable (cheaper than hotels in town)and convenient being close to the Kahuku Motocross Track. I would definately stay at this condo again as we travel to Oahu every year for motocross. A new front screen door and replacement of the AC in the living room would make this condo and even better place although it didn't affect our stay.
There is no A/C in the living room.
this rental is just in front of the Turtle Bay resort, it was very clean, easy to find. I would definitely choose to stay there again.
We visited Hawaii to drop our daughter off to school in Laie. This place was perfect for our needs. It was less than 10 minutes away from everything we needed/wanted to do in the area, and at a price we could afford.
The property is a short 7 minute walk to the Turtle Bay resort, and an easy drive to other nice beaches, food trucks, the grocery store etc. You definitely need a car to get anywhere other than the Turtle Bay resort, but it's only a short drive to most places. The unit itself was very comfortable and clean with just a minor ant problem, but that didn't bother us very much.
We had a wonderful time at this condo at the estates at turtle bay! We had stayed several days at a hotel on the South Shore and were so relieved to leave and come to this peaceful and comfortable condo. It was a home away from home and we cannot wait to come back!
Our brief visit was mainly to see the new show at PCC. Excellent! Also to see the Temple re-do. Beautiful! Glad the Estates are so close. The condo was quiet and the gardens well done. Could the grounds crew start garbage pickup later? The only other noise was our squeeky headboard! (we put a handtowel between the board and wall to fix it for 2 nights) The guest book mentioned difficulties getting on wifi,but the network info warns that TurtleBay access is poor. Can another network be used? Took lots of photos of the beach,flora and fauna! Goodbye to lovely Hawaii!
Had the opportunity to stay at the Estates while taking my son to BYU-Hawaii. The condo was older but well kept and clean. It had everything I needed. The property and surrounding area was beautiful. I would add that it would not be good for someone with limited mobility. The condo itself was single story and would work fine however even though it was a ground floor unit, there were stairs up and down to get to the front door. Overall a wonderful experience!
This is the perfect location if you are staying on the North Shore. Five to ten minute drive both ways to great North Shore beaches. A short drive to Laie and Polynesian Cultural Center. The place was clean and had the necessary kitchen items we needed. Love that it has a washer and dryer to use. It was the perfect size for my husband and I and our 14 year old son. The pool on the grounds was nice and it was very close to the well maintained tennis courts. Overall, great value for the price you pay. We would definitely recommend to anyone.
Great location. On the "quiet" side of Oahu, but close enough to towns like Haleiwa for restaurants and shopping. Great beaches and parks nearby.
security was a little over the top when i had guests over, some of the guests were actually residents and they couldn't believe the attention given to us, not a big deal though. love the place period
The location was great! We loved having a homey, private place to stay the week for a great price! the beach nearby waas wonderful, I saw so many cool fish up close and the water and beach were clean and warm. we had my son's roommates over for dinner. They were amazed with the place. We had everything we need to make a feast. We also enjoyed a BBQ by the pool. It was a wonderful week!
good
We had a great time. Location is perfect. Great value for the money. We will definitely come back!
We enjoyed our time at Turtle Bay Estates. Great value for the money.
While the building is a little older, and smells a little like Girl Scout camp when you open a drawer or cupboard, it was such a great deal! Perfect location, had everything we needed right in the rental (washer dryer, fridge, coffee maker, etc), and was really quiet. It was nice to stay on the North Shore without paying Turtle Bay resort prices. If you want luxury, pick the resort, but if you're there to travel the island and have a place to wash up and sleep, pick this rental.
It was a great place. We were barely there so thought the cleaning fee was a lot. Everything else was great.
The location was quiet and I always felt secure. I think an important improvement that could be made is to fix the front door and screen - it was difficult to open the door and the screen was loose on the hinges. I was surprised at the amount of noise I could hear from upstairs guests and some nights it was quite loud and disrupting.
This condo was very comfy and a home away from home.
A reliable Internet access is a must have and it would stop working.
This condo is very nice and cosy. Everything needed is on site. Cooking pan need to be replaced but apart from this, all appliance and furniture are great. We especially enjoyed the cool bedroom and the washer and dryer in condo is really helpful!
Enjoyed stay at the condo. Kitchen made it convienent to enjoy a home cooked meal. A/C units in the bedroom and living room helps a lot during the daytime. Nights were nice and breezy. Aside from the construction and water shut-off, we really enjoyed our stay. The ambience made it all worth while. Thanks.
We loved the location and setting of the condos at Turtle Bay - just off the fairway but close enough to walk to all facilities. The only thing I would stipulate next time would be to be on a top level apartment, not the bottom.
The condo was okay. However, we were constantly fighting the ants and found a cockroach also. The living room air conditioner does not work and were told there was no intention of replacing it. The bedroom air conditioner can only cool the bedroom, not the rest of the condo.
The condo is advertised as having air conditioning in the bedroom only.
There were ants in the kitchen that kept reappearing despite how clean it was. Our friends stayed in a different unit on the same property and had the same problem, so I think it might be the area.
A great place to stay. very clean and quite only minutes away from the beach.This condo was great for our family of 4.
spent hours searching on vrbo, no easy access to location/address information so that I can tell how close they are to the actual Turtle Bay Resort. ridiculous to assume that we all have time to e-mail each owner directly and request the address. why not just post a map and display the addresses prominently?
VCR player needs to be changed out for DVD player, Millipedes and cockroaches in the apartment, was woken on two seperate nights by millipedes in the bed with me - most unpleasant. Wire screen front door - bad and front door lock awkward to operate due to the lock being so close to the door jam. Apartment could be cleaner. Overall, i did enjoy the apartment and would stay again, however the apartment needs to be cleaned/detailed properly before my next stay.
The unit was clean but there were many ants in and around the kitchen and even on the frame of the futon. A sickly centepide laying on the hall floor. The unit as a whole smelled musty, the kitchen the worse. The TV remote doesn't work, the seal on the freezer is falling out. There needs to be an upgrade of the radio and in this day and age there should be a DVD player and not a VHS.
There were a lot of ants in the bathroom & living room of the condo.
There were tons of ants coming from under the kitchen sink. They were everywhere in the kitchen and the bathroom. Two worms were crawling on the floor. And a 4" slug was crawling on the floor in the living room. The condo is very outdated compared to some others that we visited. The dresser in the bedroom shhould be replaced. Half of the drawers don't work.
