Modern, Romantic Vibes in the Tropics

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)
In-Unit Full-Size Washer/Dryer
Secure, High Speed Wireless Internet
Smart TVs with Full Cable
Consistently upgraded linens, dishes, sheets, towels, and beach gear (Beach chairs, towels, umbrella)

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!

Wonderful base to explore the North Shore
Great condo set in lovely surroundings, perfect for a relaxing break. Loved having Turtle Bay resort to explore - beaches, walks and good snorkelling. Condo had excellent facilities with comfortable bed, awesome shower, great kitchen and loved relaxing on the lanai. Wonderful location to explore the North Shore. Thank you Jill for sharing your lovely part of the north shore and for the all the great tips for exploring the surrounds.

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!

Perfect for our first trip to Hawaii!
The condo was exactly what was described, everything was like brand new. The attention to detail was wonderful, Jill really thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. The location was great, either a short stroll to Turtle Bay Resort for a sunset cocktail and a bite to eat or a short drive to all the famous beaches on the North shore. I would definitely recommend this property to my family and friends! Our only regret was our short stay. Thanks Jill we will be back soon! Jane & Russ

Great Stay
House was very nice and in a great location. Great communication with the host. The checkout and cleaning process is a bit cumbersome and takes a bit of time. Renters are expected to clean and put away all the dishes and not just run the dishwasher along with stripping the bed etc, so plan ahead.

Review May 17, 2024
Very clean. Doesn’t include any immensities of Turtle Bay resort so didn’t read or know that. Property owners easy to work with. Only downside is we think master bed needs 3 inch topper. Very firm bed for those who prefer that.

Spacious, comfortable condo at Turtle Bay
We loved the proximity to Turtle Bay for a conference I was attending, the beautiful north shore views and walks/hikes and the easy access to the beach. The condo was a little less fresh than pictured as far as older paint in the bathroom and some mildew in the shower, but nothing too bothersome. The owner offered a small credit due to my comment on the shower tile. Other details were very nice: we appreciated the air conditioning in the bedroom (didn’t need the living room unit due to trade winds), the heated pool just across the drive, and the fully-equipped kitchen. I liked the modern island decor and the mattress was quite comfortable.

Beautiful Condo!
The condo was exactly as described. Very clean and bright inside. Loved the decor. So enjoyable to sit in the swing, especially in the morning. It was lovely. The location was perfect for what we were looking for. Walking distance to the nearby resort and short driving distance to Halewia. Thanks to Jill for providing a wonderful place to stay to celebrate our anniversary. Can't say enough great things. You won't be disappointed!

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!

Great location and property
This was a very well appointed vacation rental. Everything we needed was there. We also loved the details and creative space. It was a great home base for enjoying the more low key and beauty of the island. Foodland was very close by for groceries, and several local spots for really great food. The only downside to note was that the walls and ceiling are paper thin, and you can hear everything your neighbor is doing. I have learned over the years that this is kinda of a hit or miss with most buildings on the islands, and this was a nice condo. Lesson learned this time about a bottom unit. Units surrounding are also vacation rentals so everyone is on a different schedule..including when they go to sleep or get up for the day. Would recommend if you are a very heavy sleeper, stay up very late and are an early riser. Otherwise plan to get some good siestas in throughout the day! *Tip to visitors of the islands: Drive with Aloha! and don't be THAT idiot. - pull over and let locals pass you if you are admiring the scenery or if you are lost/ indecisive. Along with the traffic they have to deal with..They've got places to go! -If you miss your stop wait til you get to a safe spot and legal spot to turn around. -pay attention to the road and honor the speed limits. You are sharing a long bendy stretch of 2 way road with scooters, kids walking or on bikes (day and night). SLOW DOWN! Unfortunately you are going to see a lot of memorials along the road, so keep yourself in check.

This is a clean, bright, comfortable condo decorated nicely with a joyful vibe. It is well stocked with everything we needed. We also appreciated the use of the beach chairs. Jill’s tips for good local spots to snorkel, hike and eat were very useful! We look forward to returning someday! Thanks again!

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.

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.

Clean, Beautiful, Great Location
My partner and I had a lovely 8 night stay at Jill's condo! It was a great location, very close to Turtle Bay resort and in a quiet area of the North Shore. The condo was exactly as depicted, and the host and on-site manager were quick and responsive when there were questions. The only issue we had was the upstairs renters were quite loud, but the hosts were quick to contact the building manager to ask them to quiet down. We were very happy with our comfortable and clean stay here for our vacation on the North Shore!

Perfect spot my surfer fiance and I
This trip was a combination of action, adventure and surfing. Staying in the Turtle Bay Area was the perfect spot! My now fiancé was able to surf the east coast by Pounders, surf AT turtle bay, and surf at Waimea Bay on the north shore. All spots are popular for body boarding and all were within a 20-25 minute ride! We had access to the food trucks on the east coast AND the north shore! It’s literally smack dab in the middle of everything we needed and wanted to do! 15 minutes either way to the grocery store. Close to hikes including the pillbox hike. Honestly couldn’t have found a better spot! Added bonus, we were able to go to the restaurants at turtle bay and since all beaches in Hawaii are public, we could also go to their beach which was a perfect snorkeling spot! Tons of fish and we even got to see a turtle! 10/10 recommend

We could not have been happier with our stay at Jill‘s condo! The location was excellent and we were in close proximity to everything we wanted to see and do on the North Shore. Plus, being in Turtle Bay, you’re able to go up to the resort for a quick bite or drinks. Property was clean and spacious and the decor is quite cute modern. We had no issues with our stay and definitely would come again.

We live nearby and love the North Shore! We enjoy continually making our property better and more comfortable for all our guests. Being active travelers, we make sure to leave our guests lots of inside info on what to do and see in the area. This includes our favorite "hole in the wall" eateries, beautiful hikes and secret beaches. We hope you will have as much fun here as we do!

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property from a friend because I LOVE its light and beautiful lanai view. The floor plan is spacious and it is a wonderful place to vacation. We've just completed a remodel focused on our guests comfort and experience. We hope you love it!

What makes this property unique

The condo is on the end so it has more light. It has a very wide open floor plan that is very comfortable. It is located very close to the complex pool which has a very nice grill area too!
