Hawaiian vacation
We arrived to a large box containing a microwave that had been delivered the beginning of March and doors to kitchen closet impeding main hallway. We checked in on 4/8/24! The remote to the television wasn't working. Nicole was updated via text and was apologetic stating doors had fallen off when cleaning was done prior to our arrival. She dropped by and checked television remote and texted she had ordered one from Amazon and would drop it off when it came in. We left on 4/15/24 and still no remote delivered. We were frustrated as we along with 2 other couples stayed at the same place and neither of them had any issues. The place could definitely use a little tending to. There were holes in walls where pictures and bath fixtures had been with no repair. It was mostly clean with things we needed for our stay. Grounds were well kept. It was quiet. Pool was very nice.

Nice unit, great owner
The unit we paid for had plumbing problems the day we were to check in so we didn’t get the two bedroom unit we paid for. The 2 bedroom was ready for us a few days into our stay but I didn’t want to pack everything up and move. I should have moved us because I didn’t get a refund for the difference in what we paid. Big difference in price of one bedroom and two bedrooms. We did get a nice one bedroom unit that was fully stocked in every way. The owner/manager was terrific with communication and really went out of her way to make our stay over Christmas special. She loaned us a Christmas palm tree and decorations. There were more beach supplies than we could use and the fully stocked kitchen was great. Everything was clean except the front patio area. I know it is hard to keep a patio clean but it didn’t matter much anyway because we couldn’t spend time out there due to the woman upstairs was always on her porch talking on the phone and smoking. I had the feeling she was a permanent resident. The smoke was too much for us. I recommend this unit for two people.

We all loved staying up on the North Shore. The condos at TurtleBay were within walking distance to golf, restaurants and entertainment. Our contact, Nichole was very responsive to all of our questions and needs. Thank you, Nichole for all your help in making our stay at TurtleBay Condos a very enjoyable experience!

Cute, clean condo with all the essentials
I enjoyed my stay very much at Turtle Bay. This condo is right on the resort property and is very safe / secure. There is easy access to all the amenities of the Turtle Bay resort and surrounding areas in the North Shore. The condo is very cute, clean, and contains all the essentials needed from an AC unit to a washer/dryer with detergent/dryer sheets and a full size kitchen with stove top, microwave, and more. I cant wait to come back again in the future. The owner was easy to connect with and accomodating as well.

Great beach location
This property was a great location for beach access. The resort beach was a short drive or walking distance from the condo. The resort also had bars/restaurants that had awesome views. The condo itself was clean. I wish there was more air conditioning/cooling in the master bedroom. The living would get cool and the master would take a while. This location is great if you are looking for a quiet, beach retreat. Be prepared to drive 45 minutes+ if you are planning to do a lot of outings in Honolulu. There are a few shopping and food places nearby, but most are a drive.

Nice!
I don't know how long the property had been vacated before we came to stay. The master bath had dead bugs and ants on the countertop which I had to clean before putting my things on it. It would have been nice to have had more dishes in the kitchen cabinets because I was washing dishes almost everyday luckily there was enough Cascade to go around. I was happy that there was an abundance of towels. Thank you for having hangers in the closet those came in very handy. The master bed was very comfortable. A dark colored curtain should replace the one in the master bedroom because the one it currently has lets the morning sun come in and it woke us up too early plus we were concerned that it was see-through at night. All in all we enjoyed the condo and we had a wonderful vacation! Thank you!

No pride of place
Beautiful location. Comfy bed. So many issues with condo- bathroom door comes off in bedroom, loud screeching toilet when used, small leak in that shower. Dirty tracks in closet door. Both closets hard to open and close sliders. To empty sink in main bathroom, you have to get under sink to release plunger. Cable and TV wires unsightly. Draperies obviously replaced in living room, but holes and tracks not repaired above them. As a host myself, my guests would have done a lot of complaining too. I would not rent out my place if it was not up to par. Property manager did offer to get leak and toilet repaired but I declined. This is an expensive property. The care and maintenance should reflect it.

Turtle Bay Condo - Artists Unit
Comfortable condo - not too big, not too small. Well-kept grounds! Appreciated the laundry unit and plentiful linens, especially the nice, soft bath towels. Even provided nice beach towels. Kitchen had pretty much all you could ask for. Loved the Magic Bullet blender. Baking a pizza was a challenge due to no pizza pan. Lovely pool located near our unit. Beach is just a short jaunt across the golf course. Minor negatives - patio door was extremely hard to open/close - partially off track, hard to lock; screen was totally off track. Lower outlet in living room [where the TV was plugged in] is 'dead'.

We ended up in a different unit and it was great. A bit worn out but comfy bed and all we needed for the stay. Nicole was fantastic responding to any questions. The only main issue was noisy neighbors next door and also above us. But that can happen anywhere. After talking to them they tried harder to be more considerate. Would probably get an upstairs unit next time. The location is perfect as it’s between beaches and food trucks and surfing.
