The Space

Come enjoy this newly updated, spacious end-unit condo in beautiful Turtle Bay. It is as comfortable as it is beautiful. Whether it's breakfast in bed or a drink on the lanai swing, you may not want to leave. Everything has been updated, including hand-picked pendants that can be dimmed to suit your mood.

Two brand new AC units will ensure your stay is comfortable, although the mild temperatures, trade winds and first-floor unit helps to keep things cool. For your entertainment, both the living room and bedroom offer Smart TVs with a full cable application. There is also a fast, secure, free Wifi. The condo is close to the complex pool with a BBQ area as well as the tennis courts. The pool is heated to a perfect temperature so you can even enjoy it in the winter evenings while you grill your dinner. The resort has many walking/ hiking trails allowing you to see beautiful Hawaii nature without leaving the area.

The Unit is completely cleaned and disinfected between Guests. Linens are washed with bleach and all surfaces cleaned with anti-bacterial products. Please see our Cleanliness Reviews and feel free to send us any questions related to our cleaning protocols.

Unit Includes:

Free parking (designated spot close to condo)

Interaction with Guests:

I will email you local tips on where to go and what to do/see, which are also included with more information at the condo. My guests say that these local recommendations make the trip much more interesting. As we live in the area, we can also help with any specific activities or advice you might be interested in.

Other Things to Note:

Within a short walk you'll find the immaculate and gorgeous Turtle Bay Hotel, with amazing facilities including five restaurants, horseback riding, 12 miles of walking trails, snorkeling, surfing, scuba, helicopter tours, tennis courts, world-class spa with outdoor massages and 5 miles of great beaches provide you endless opportunities for fun and relaxation. There is a great, year-round beach 5 minutes walk from the condo. With outer reef protection, it is one of the few North Shore beaches that is swimmable year-round, even when waves are huge everywhere else.

The resort is situated on 850 acres, so there is a lot to check-out including hidden beaches, beautiful scenic walks or hikes, whales during that season, quiet places to take a picnic lunch and even rent bikes for the day. The hotel is very open with cool shops and many restaurants.

In addition to all the activities and amenities of Turtle Bay Resort there are countless activities for the energetic visitor. Exploring the magnificent North Shore beaches, Haleiwa town, Polynesian Cultural Center, as well as fabulous hiking trails including the trail to Waimea Falls and Botanical Gardens. The activities available are endless, from Scuba dives, deep-sea fishing, Shark adventure tours, whale watching (seasonal), or rent surfboards, paddleboards, jet skis, kayaks or snorkel gear. And a short drive to Dillingham Airport offers skydives, ultra light flight tours and glider rides. Mokuleia Beach, the Polo fields, horseback riding and Kaena Point are also nearby

Getting Around:

Renting a vehicle will offer the best versatility when visiting the island, and the drive is beautiful! There is public transportation called "The Bus". There is a bus stop right inside of Turtle Bay.

House Rules:

2-person maximum
No smoking anywhere on property
The condo is within the resort and has access to everything at the hotel, except use of the hotel pool for swimming. The condos have their own pools. You can use the hotel gym/ fitness classes for a nominal fee.

Mahalo nui loa for visiting our site!

Clean and Beautiful Property

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at this condo and the location was perfect for everything we wanted to do on the North side of the island. The condo was just as peaceful and beautiful in person as in the pictures and very clean. The two trails near the property were really beautiful as well. Jill was so helpful and quick to provide recommendations which was so appreciated. We would definitely stay here again and will highly recommend it to others.

A great central location for enjoying all that the North Shore has to offer. The condo was very clean and more than enough space for 2 adults. The king bed was very comfortable. The hanging swing out on the lanai was a nice touch. Check in/out was smooth. Jill was a lovely host, always very responsive. Hope to stay again. Thanks Jill!

Excellent location from which to explore the North Shore

Well appointed and comfortable property on Turtle Bay! Had not spent any time in this area before so exploration was top of the list. The property has trails along the ocean which provided good walks in the morning. Huge banyon tree which had been used as a movie locations. Try the Fumi shrimp truck. Fabulous local shrimp!

Very nice North Shore location

Very nice condo, exactly as described and pictured. Clean, comfortable, well appointed, and a really nice place to hangout. I love staying on the North Shore. The Turtle Bay resort area is one of the few places to stay on the North Shore. This condo is a great option, it provides most of the benefits of the Turtle Bay Hotel, at a third of the price. We swam and snorkeled at the Turtle Bay beach, ate at the hotel's restaurants, took a surf lesson at the hotel's surf school, and walked along the coast on the trails from the hotel.

Turtle Bay in North Shore

Jill’s place was located in awesome Turtle Bay. It was clean, well stocked and had free parking. Jill provided a detailed list of suggestions and was easily accessible by phone and text. We needed some tools and she delivered very quickly. This was our first time in O’ahu and had a wonderful experience

Great condo on resort property- walking distance to all amenities. Quiet and private, clean and updated. Owner takes great care to accomodate your needs if at all possible. Northshore is gorgeous with tons of beaches to explore. Turtle Bay resort does a great job of providing the basics; sunsets, Mai tai's and a great coffee bar in the lobby that is open at 6 AM!

Perfect Place to Stay on the North Shore!

We had a week-long stay and everything was excellent! The place was quiet with new appliances and a great design aesthetic. Jill also provided the best tips that I’ve seen from a host, with a lot of great food suggestions and the best things to do on this side of the island including non-crowded beaches and scenic hikes. I was also able to work remotely on a reliable internet connection. We specifically chose this place due to its very close proximity to Haleiwa, and to the resort, while staying away from crowds and the city. Happy to say it was everything we wanted and will undoubtedly be back soon!

Fantastic, welcoming and relaxing

Jill's condo is exactly as the pictures show; clean, modern and comfortable. My partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and were so thankful for access to beach items as part of our stay including beach chairs, towels and umbrella as well as snorkling gear. This saved us from having to travel with all our beach gear. The location is great also, with access to the restaurants at Turtle Bay resort and the local supermarket only a short drive away. The check in and check out process was easy and Jill was a responsive communicator which made the whole process seamless. Highly recommend staying at Jill's condo if you're looking for a spacious, relaxing getaway to the North Shore!

Vacation Home In Paradise!

We had a wonderful vacation in Jill’s condo -very tranquil, quiet, relaxing accommodations, yet mere minutes from any activity you desire. Roomy, clean, well supplied and a lovely garden view from the screened in lanai. Lovely place to listen to the birds and enjoy a coffee or cocktail. Very comfy bed, linens, and pillows. We appreciated the complimentary soaps, lotions, coffee, and treats. Nice touch! Mere steps from the pool and a short walk to the main Turtle Bay resort. This was a wonderful find - so much to explore on the North Shore and so wonderful to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and so nice to have found this wonderful condo to return to each night after our adventures. You were wonderful to deal with Jill; we appreciated all your suggestions for restaurants and activities, and you were always a mere text away should we have questions. You can not go wrong booking this amazing property! Thanks again Jill. Only wish we could have stayed longer. Missing the warmth and sunshine.

Lovey Condo, even lovelier Hostess

This is a beautiful condo and is just as pictured. Jill is very accommodating and patient. I must have emailed her 4 times upon arrival and she answered every question quickly and politely. This is on the North Shore within the Turtle Bay Resort. The resort itself and beach are within a 5-10 minute walk. There is parking to the right if you want to drive up to the beach. There are food trucks located in both directions, north and south, about a 5-10 minute drive either way, as well as grocery shopping and traditional restaurants to the south mostly. The condo has plenty of cups and dishes, and a dishwasher! We did cook about a third of our meals. The pull out couch in the living room was comfortable for my son. The bed in the bedroom was also comfortable and there is plenty of storage for unpacking. There is a screened in porch on the back that over looks a common green area and there are beach toys, fins and masks and beach chairs to use. Very quiet and peaceful property. The condo is very clean, well maintained and the washer and dryer were a bonus. Highly recommend!

Fantastic Condo and North Shore Stay !

This condo is as advertised. A tropical paradise. Located on the Turtle Bay Resort property, it is in a gated condo community, safe, clean, and very conveniently located to all the North Shore activities. It is in a great location close to Haleiwa, the north shore beaches, the PCC, hikes, and many other local attractions. Short and beautiful drives. The condo itself is great. The owners have taken the steps to ensure any traveler has everything they need when they are staying there. The owner Jill also sends a great list of local places and things to do which was a great guide to our North Shore stay! Full amenities. Bathroom items, kitchen is well stocked, beach towels, beach chairs, toys, umbrella, and snorkeling gear. Everything you need while there. It also has a washer and dryer which was great considering we were in Oahu for two weeks. Very convenient. The pool is right across the way and is very clean and nice. I hit it every day. We also greatly enjoyed sitting on the beautiful lanai looking at the well maintained grounds in the morning with coffee, and at night for a cocktail. Lovely. It is a short walk up to Turtle Bay Resort and the beach. 5 minutes. Beautiful beach. It also has trails on both sides of the resort which are flat and easy but still a very nice walk along the ocean. We went shopping and stocked the kitchen with some breakfast food, snacks, and drinks which was very convenient. Turtle Bay Resort bars and restaurants are a bit pricy but not terrible depending on which one you eat or drink at. We liked Lei Lei's off the beach. Overall, the condo and property exceeded our expectations and I would highly recommend it. You will not be disappointed!! Aloha !!

Wonderful place and great location! Well appointed and very comfy bed. Check in process was less than desirable, but accurate in the description. We were not able to reach the property manager to let us in so we had to park at the gate (not really any other parking close) and walk/run to the condo (since we were parked at the gate) to get the fob. This was stated in the description as a possibility, but still not an amazing experience. Everything else was completely amazing though!

Condo in Paradise

The condo is centally located in the North Shore with great access to the Ritz, Turtle Bay beaches, and Roy's restaurant. We had some great meals and cocktails at Roy's and the Ritz. The North Shore has lots to offer in terms of things to do and other good restaurants that offer variety and casual dining, like 7 Brothers and food trucks.
