Great area, near many activities, as well as a beautiful walk to Turtle Bay. Few minutes drive to beaches, food trucks, Foodland, Polynesian Culture Centre.Beautiful stay
The property was in a great location, very close to Turtle Bay and surrounding towns. We werenât in the condo much (why be there when you can be on the beach and explore the North Shore?), which is why we didnât mind the following small annoyances:-Hot at nights, even with the screen doors open, fans going and the small a/c unit on (which never got cold, just kinda cool),-Only three small rolls of TP for a family for 6 days (we had to buy more), one garbage bag for the kitchen and one for the bathroom (we had to buy more), only one kitchen rag, no laundry soap (even though it was requested that we throw the towels in the washer when we checked out)Other than those issues, we loved our stay and realized itâs not a perfect place, but was a lot cheaper than most other condos in that area. Mahalo!
It was a pretty good stay. Great location and the place is clean. Just wish the screendoors were not broken so we could have opened those a lot more easily. Other things need to be fixed as well that the owner is aware of like the dishwasher.
We had everything we needed within reach at this location- golf, beach, hiking, cool local eats and fine dining options. The condo was clean, comfortable and secure adja
Great location and apartment but could be more taken care of and invested
The apartment has a lot of space and many equipment like in the kitchen and beach stuff. It is great located. Unfortunately the sheets of our pillows weren't really clean at our arrival. After texting and speaking to Kyle at the phone he didn't give a solution and said the pillows are washed and we should not expext a luxury resort. We think it is normal to expect clean sheets in every hotel/hostel/etc. We took our towels over the pillows to feel comfortable. The check in was flexible and easy. There a many many many instructions about the apartment, what is allowed and not, what is broken and should not be used, what costs extra... some things could be more taken care of or repaired. It seems that there isn't lot of interest to invest in things. The dishwaser must not be used at our stay and is going to be exchanged only when new cabinets are bought.. the light in the bathroom turns off every 3 minutes.. all in all it was a good stay but it could be improved for the future guests.
Very quiet and relaxing stay in Kuilima. Although I drove, the bus stop was very close to the unit and I caught the bus to Haleiwa and had a blast.
Unit was clean and comfortable. Perfect for a few days stay. Mahalo!
Our condo was decent. Needs some repairing and cosmetic attention. The shower water didnât get too warm but the shower was clean. But PERFECT location! We will be coming back thatâs for sure!
The neighborhood was perfect and there were several food trucks avaible within a 10 to 15 min drive. The stay was clean but it does feel like an update might be needed. The shower was amazing. It had a washer and dryer which was useful. AC unit was only in the room which was fine for us since we were out and about most of the time. The owner answered all of my questions and was always prompt. Overall, it was a good experience without complaints.
Property needs to be updated! There were too many stipulations about what you canât do, but you donât hear about them until you have already booked. The location was greatâŠ..just too many donât do this or that,
Property is part of a large resort that is located at Turtle Bay. Lots of restaurants to choose from and perfectly located for golfing and swimming ... all within walking distance from the unit. The condo itself is adequate and the owner is pleasant and attentive ... but overall the condo is very 'tired' ... appliances are old and rusty, new comfortable couch would be welcome ... laundry closet was covered in mold, Louvre windows need servicing as only half opens in bedroom and living room. Overall though, we really enjoyed our time at Kawela Bay.
The owner is very kind, promptly help us with doubts. I sugested that he can change the sofa and ilumination, was very very bad, Also the bathroom towels, that are old very very used. At the room was one window for insects broken and during the night with the wind it knocks several time that wont let us sleep. Small details that will improve the stay
Great Location, but Terrible Experience with Host and Property
This VRBO rental had some positive aspects, such as its proximity to the beaches and being located in a secure gated community. However, our overall experience was extremely disappointing due to the condition of the property and the hostâs behavior.The property itself is rundown and in need of significant repairs. During our stay, insects got into our food, which was very unpleasant. Additionally, the rental was poorly stockedâthere was only one roll of toilet paper for our entire stay, and no bath soap or body wash was provided.The host was the biggest issue. Two days before check-in, he sent us an overwhelming list of strict rules, including not staining the towels, not running the air conditioner during the day, and limiting laundry use. He also double-booked our last day and pressured us to leave early, which we reluctantly did.To make matters worse, after our stay, the host attempted to charge us an extra 3 per day for electricity, claiming we exceeded his estimated usage. He also repeatedly hassled my wife about a payment she had already made, forcing her to send multiple screenshots as proof.While the location is great, the poor condition of the property and the hostâs unprofessional behavior made this a terrible experience. I would strongly recommend avoiding this rentalâitâs not worth the stress and frustration.
I'm a 61 year old chiropractor practicing here at my Santa Monica address since 1994. I live a few blocks away with my wife and daughter and ride my bike to work.
I graduated with a BS from Pepperdine University in 1984 where I played NCAA volleyball. I played competitive AVP Beach Volleyball for years, but stick with surfing, tennis, and skiing these days.
I love getting out of the city to beautiful Monarch Beach (where I grew-up and my parents still live) to surf & relax. I also get out to my Turtle Bay, Hawaii condo several times a year for more of the same. I fell very blessed. :)
