I liked being on the grounds of Turtle Bay Resort, that i had a reserved parking spot, condo had washer and dryer, beach chairs provided to use and the safety of the area. I didn't like that the non-stick pans were old and eggs stuck to them badly, the big centipedes (3) inside the condo and that there was not a screen door and the patio door. Also, i was unable to watch tv, live or on any streaming network. When i tried it said "not connected." It might have been a user error (me) but it would be helpful to have instructions provided.

Great location, appropriately priced.
Great rate for the location of the property. We felt safe and secure at this rental. Check in was smooth. Property manager communicated immediately with any concerns. Manage your expectations for the price. It fit our budget and needs with easy access to Turtle Bay resort, North Shore beaches, Waimea, & Haliewa.

Our stay was average. Location is amazing on the North Shore. It’s an average condo. The linens were worn and obviously recycled. The washer and dryer was full of mildew. Unfortunately, I would not stay here again but I would recommend it to surfers just needing a place to shower and sleep.

Place was affordable and perfect for our needs
Condo was as stated on listing but needs a few updates in kitchen pans were very used and had to wash them before using them, coffee pot was a bit worn but worked fine . But those are my only critiques other than that the condo was great and had everything we needed for our stay, perfect location and very quiet and private. I would recommend staying here for your Oahu visit.

Not as advertised
This condo was dirty and in poor condition. It was not properly equipped for rental. The sheets didn't fit the mattress and should be consigned to the rag bag. We had to request a pot to boil eggs and request light bulbs, Which the owner wouldn't install). We had to request hand soap as the soap dispensers were filled with dish soap. We requested a bath mat for the slippery tub but the owner refused saying it was not advertised. It is not on the golf course. The view out the back included the traffic and noise of the main highway. Louver windows were inoperable and the sliding door to the lanai had no screen. Consequently we had to keep the doors closed to keep bugs out. I would not recommend staying in this unit. I have stayed in several units in this complex and this one is by far the worst.

Great central location with security and privacy!
My husband and I finished the last 5 days of our Oahu trip on the north shore at this cool little condo! We loved the easy gated entry pass on my phone, on-site security, and that super close designated parking space. This first floor unit was on the edge of the complex so it was quiet and secluded. Great central location - a few minutes from tons of beaches, grocery stores, food trucks and resort amenities! Turtle bay did not dissapoint - grab snorkle gear because we swam with turtles every day, right in the public swimming area at the resort! Vanessa was so kind and took great care of us. We are already planning our return trip!!!

Great staycation
It was perfect for our little staycation, the condo was fully equipped with kitchen gear, golf set, beach chairs and mat and all the amenities needed for a great adventurous stay. Location is perfect and we really enjoyed eating dinner at Leileis, the restaurant on the golf course, delicious food, great service and we have young ones, so running around on the putting greens before and after dinner was perfect. However, we did have a problem with an infestation with ants, they were everywhere.. on the couch, countertops with nothing else on it, if you left some food out, it was covered in a matter of seconds. There were B52s flying cockroaches, luckily the kids didn’t realize how gross they really are- as we turned it into a game of batting with a slipper in mid air and on the wall.

Another 3 Weeks in Paradise!
My husband and I just spent 21 glorious days at this condo! Between the soothing sound of the tropical birds in the morning, the geckos greeting us outside, (they bring us good luck), and the tropical breezes coming through (this is the tropics folks, no need for A/C), we knew we were on vacation! The check-in instructions were easy to figure out. There are large Smart TVs in the bedroom and living room. Vanessa replied quickly with a video on how to work the TV remote, as I am tech-needy:( The kitchen looked clean, new A/C units (didn't use), loved the cleaning supplies like broom and vacuum in the closet and the washer/dryer was a bonus! Loved how we can just walk out the unit onto the golf course walkway! All in all, this is a good unit at a great price. Thank you Vanessa!

Wonderfully simple retreat
If you're looking for a quick and simple getaway, this place does well. It did really well for my wife and I who only stayed two nights. We also only live about 20 minutes away, so we were familiar with the Turtle Bay Resort area. The place itself was clean (except the microwave - we cleaned it! :)) Other's comments noted how the place was a little worn. We could see that, but it didn't cause any disruption. I would say, the birds here can be loud and are going off even late at night. If you are a light sleeper, bring some ear plugs and turn on the AC unit to drown it out. The bed was super comfortable and easy to sleep on. Communication with the host was very smooth. Everything was as she said it would be. She had told us in the instructions to NOT toss the comforter into the wash at the end of our stay. We forgot and ended up washing it. We messaged her about it and she was gracious and let us know it was all right. All in all, I would highly recommend this place for a simple getaway!

Non conforming rental
Rental is misleading in many ways . Plenty of ants and cockroaches, no traps, washing machine did not work, owner new prior to our stay no notice until we complained. Oh, no spatula so try flipping eggs with a spoon. Not located where stated. Doubt VRBO will do anything g about this. Finally, unit appears to not conform to state requirements. Unless owner can show remediation, I would not rent

Ideal for island explorers
We enjoyed our stay in this condo. The location was optimal for spending some time on the beach, and yet being able to access the rest of the island for exploration. We spent most of our time out of the condo exploring the island, and thus it served our needs well. The unit would benefit from extensive cleaning and a few updates, but the overall functionality and cleanliness was sufficient. The host was polite and readily available during the check-in process to ensure that we were able to access the unit. The pictures associated with the VRBO listing are somewhat misleading as to the exact location and condition of the unit. However, overall we were satisfied with our experience.

Glitch with check in but good stay
We had a little lack of communication with the owner over check in. We were given the address and a security code for the gate- that went well. After being buzzed in we arrived at the unit to realize we were not given instructions on how to access the unit itself. We attempted to call, text and message the owner with no response. A security guard allowed us into the their office although stated they have no contact with the owner. After more than an hour, we made a final attempt to reach the owner and were successful. She realized she had failed to send the remainder of the instructions (which she sent later that night). She gave us verbal instructions to get in and we were off and rolling. The unit doesn’t appear to have a lot of “regular traffic” as it seemed like it’s been closed off for a while. A little stale smelling although a little bit of time with the door open and that seemed to go away. The unit itself was just the right size, well taken care of and was in a great location. The shared pool was not very busy and close to the unit Overall we would definitely rent again.

Check in went smoothly, we arrived early due to flight change and Vanessa was very understanding. The condo was clean and she provided the basic necessities for our stay. We loved the location, it was central to all the activities. I would suggest a binder that gives information about the area, restaurants, and beaches. The futon is small and my 6’5 son was not comfortable. I suggest an air mattress. We enjoyed our stay!

Renter Beware!
Such a nightmare. Received confirmation of rental from Verbo but never received check in info from owner. She could not be reached. Her voicemail was full. Took me 90 minutes on phone with 5 transfers before they got a hold of her and I got unit info Drove there and the unit was occupied! Called owner and she could not reach tenants at first. Told me to go eat at hotel bar and have a drink on her. She finally got tenants out and called cleaning for me If they had cleaned that morning for my arrival they would have known it was not vacant. She had no clearing arranged for my arrival and she said Vrbo had failed to inform her it was rented. Went to unit at 8 pm and cleaning women did not leave until 9 pm (midnight my time!) Vanessa only refunded me $50 for my dinner which didn’t even comer the cost. She refused to refund me partial payment for having to check in 5 hours late and spent hours on the phone trying to reach her then dealing with problems. Unit had no bath soap or wash cloths. Towels were badly stained. Stressful stay to say the least. Living room and kitchen are ok but bathroom needs to be redone. Bedroom just ok. Farthest unit from the beach and resort so you have to drive to beach parking lot unless you don’t mind carrying your beach chair on a long walk. No screen door on slider so bugs fly in.

Stay Away!!!
If you are looking for a great place to stay in Turtle Bay, keep looking. We have never experienced a more filthy VRBO property in our history of renting places. It was absolutely filthy and run down. The way the property is advertised is completely false. It is not remodeled, clean or 3 minutes from the beach. From the mismatched old towels to the pilly sheets, the dirty kitchen and refrigerator full of old food, to the dirty floors and bathroom mats, junk= filled cupboards, and drawers, airconditioners down on the floor, dirty dishes and sour sponges, no soap or additional toilet paper....and more. Plus, the unit is at the intersections of the entry to the resort and the main highway and traffic noise all night long. The view from the condo is partially the golfcourse and the main road. Our recommendation is to stay clear of this place. It ruined our vacation!

Better than expected
I read a lot of negative reviews prior to staying in this unit and that kind of worried me. But once I opened the door, it was better than I expected. The unit was clean, cool and well maintained. The living room and dining room area was very spacious. The kitchen was very clean with a big fridge and lots of storage space. There was a tv in the room and in the living room which was very convenient. I was able to stream movies and shows whenever I wanted. The parking space is super close to the unit making for easy loading and unloading. The pool was very nice and relaxing. The only thing I would change is the mattress in the room (too hard) and the sofa sleeper in the living room. It’s a very comfortable sofa but way too small to sleep two (this unit says it sleeps 4). Besides that, enjoyed me stay for sure.
