Review of condo
Very beautiful condo with a lot of space for a family of 4. It was clean and a nice quiet place to go after a long day. Amazing pickleball court along with a pool. Very close to restaurants and the hotel too which was super nice.

Great
Place was clean and beds were great. Kitchen was fully stocked. Pool was great and parking was easy. Complex was very quiet. Host was very responsive. Make sure you read the instructions carefully prior to arrival because you need to pick up the gate fob from the owners house (just a few miles from the condo).

Great Place to Stay
This was a great place to stay, if you are visiting the North Shore. The place was neat and clean. Check-in was easy. I would have liked a check-out time of 11am (instead of 10am), so we are not rushed trying to get out. Overall though, it was great!! Thank-you!!

Wonderful place & location!
My family & I would definitely stay here again. Great spot, the loft was perfect for the kids, nice & warm pool just steps away, beach 5 minute walk, awesome all around! Only very minor issue was the need to stop at the owner’s property 10 minutes away to pick up (& drop off) the access card to get into the parking lot.

Wonderful Stay on the North Shore
This well-appointed clean condo on the North Shore made for a perfect family get-away. We can't wait to come back. There are four of us, so for sleeping we did need to use the couch but that was okay. It is so close to lovely beaches, walks and of course the stunning North Shore.

Our stay was amazing. Everything and then some was provided for us.

I would highly recommended a stay here. I hope to be able to return sometime and this would be my first choice.

A Good Stay!
We chose this condo for its two air conditioners which were much needed at the height of summer, as the winds were not blowing in a way that provides cross breezes. Appreciated the beach towels and well equipped kitchen. We left coffee and tea for the next visitors, but if you are coffee addicts be aware the pantry is very basic (oil and vinegar but no pepper, sugar or coffee). It was an easy walk to the closest beach, and for snorkellers it is a short 15 minute drive to Shark cove, which is fantastic - as clear and still as an aquarium with lots of fish, turtles (and no sharks). Communication with the hosts was very good.

Ask before you booko
The property is exactly the way it is listed. I would definitely recommend asking the lister if any construction/remodeling is being done by any neighbors before booking though. I wasn’t made aware before booking that this would be taking place during my stay. I’m new to renting vacation I properties but definitely a lesson learned. The condo right next door had construction being done which disrupted our stay. I did reach out to the Sophia who said that the owner for the other unit did not let them know they would have construction being done but the workers could only work M-F from 8am - 5pm. Although the workers could only do construction M-F they did come in on Saturday and did work from 8a-12p. Long story short it wasn’t a pleasant stay for us. Lots of dust and noise coming from the next door unit wasn’t worth the amount of money I paid to stay at this property.

Response from VrboOwner on 4 Oct 2022
Hi Kimberly - I apologize about the neighbors construction. We had no info from the neighbors that this was beginning or from previous guests so I assume it had just started around the time that you arrived. I do wish you had let me know it was happening on the weekend so we could have put a stop to that though. I communicated the times they were allowed to work so that you could let me know if it was happening during the restricted times. Since you didn’t communicate this with me until now - after you’ve left - there’s unfortunately little we can do to make things right, which I’m sure is disappointing for both you and I. Thank you.

Great location
The property was actually a little fresher than it seemed in the photos with some nice updates that were made recently. All the comforts of home but in a tropical paradise. We enjoyed walking to the stables for a sunset ride, or evening ‘photo shoot’ (mandatory with a teenage girl :-), or a night off a cooking with dinner at resort. Checked out teds bakery a few times and the Luau at Toa Luau (and the Waimea Falls and Botanical Garden), plus all the north shore beaches. Kitchen was fully equipped and it was great to have beach stuff including a cooler for use.

Nice location
Great location, walking distance to the beach. Loved that there was a washer/dryer, dishwasher and AC units in both rooms. The loft was a bit challenging for my husband and I (both 62 years old), we let our son and DIL a have the master room. Stairs could use a better hand rail and some lighting, the loft bathroom has a sloping roof so I had to squat to dry my hair and the water pressure in shower is extremely low. Those were minor though and would be a great room for the kids. I would definitely rent again if we get back to the area. Our family definitely enjoyed our stay.

Wonderful condo, sweet neighbors
This condo was everything we needed for our family vacation to Oahu. Boogie boards, chairs, beach towels, etc. The kitchen was well-stocked and I cannot stress how wonderfully clean everything was. My sister's family stayed on the West side of the estates and they had ant problems from the start. We enjoyed the air conditioners and ceiling fans, though didn't have to use them much because of the tradewinds. The neighbor that shares the landing was so thoughtful and kind, offering to share her newspaper and even her slippers. If I have a suggestion, it is to improve the lighting and fan system in the bathroom. Otherwise, we appreciated the laundry supplies and quick access to the Turtle Bay property (not including the hotel pools, which are ONLY for hotel guests :)). I would definitely recommend this place for anyone on the North Shore.

Loved our stay here!
Seriously, the photos posted do not do this place justice. The place was clean and pleasant - the funky 70s carpet in the loft was fun and everything was fresh for our stay. Amenities included beach towels, soap and toilet paper in both bathrooms, a few basics in the pantry (salt, pepper, olive oil) and some beach gear. We didn't use the beach gear, but we were grateful for the towels. The kitchen is well-stocked with all the equipment you need to make meals at home or reheat leftovers from the nearby restaurants, and the attention to detail was impeccable. Even the kitchen knives were sharp - they even had a rice cooker! How often can you say that about a rental? Sophia was kind and completely responsive, even making the keys available to us earlier than the normal check-in time. The nearby restaurants are in walking distance, as is the beach and a number of bars - at this time, you must show your ID and vaccination card every time you enter a restaurant, but it was quick and easy and we had no issues. Terrific place and fantastic, convenient location! We would totally stay here - or any place Sophia manages - again.

The apartment was nice and clean. Air conditioner worked, but we used it as little as possible due to a note saying it would leak water down on the lanai. We had my 82 year old mother and it wasn't ideal getting up and down the stairs but was able to do it. All in all the stay was very nice with good neighbors.

Furnishings and linens were NEWER and FRESH unlike some short-term rental properties we have stayed at. Quite a bit of beach gear that wasn't listed in the description which was an added bonus! Chairs, toys, boogie boards, cooler and snorkel gear! Pool was clean and the perfect temperature just two buildings away. Check-in required an extra stop which was not on our route but usually is for those traveling from the airport.
