Turtle Bay 3 Bedroom Rental

Nice 3 bedroom home. Beautiful place, nice porch and quiet neighborhood. Close to food trucks and golf course. Relaxing and peaceful.

The location is absolutely amazing. The yard is huge. The fruits in the yard are absolutely amazing. The parking is amazing everything there is ideal as far as location space everything absolutely everything. However, when you’re renting your home, you need to make sure that there are some safety issues taken care of the biggest concern that I had was there were five loose boards on the deck that wraps around the home those boards need to be lifted and replaced as soon as possible. The next issue of concern was the patio furniture. There were four chairs out front. Two of the chairs were not suited to hold anyone they were tilted. They were falling apart, literally falling apart on the other two chairs held our way well, but there was clear signs of aging a hole and had someone clock down in the chair it might’ve given away. The next issue is ants. There was a situation with ants little piss ants in the house. The house basically needs some new bedding in the master bedroom and it needs some new furniture on the patio it also needs some new boards on the patio and that’s about it.

The kitchen was equipped with what we need to prepare meals. But honestly the price of food in Hawaii is pretty expensive so I don’t think we saved much money eating in.The property is a 15 minute walk to over a dozen food trucks, an ice cream shop, brewery and few other restaurants. If we come back to the north shore I’ll just plan on dinner out.The property is across the street from local 9 hole golf course, so the walk to the beach is 5-10 minutes. But WOW, what an amazing beach. I probably only saw a dozen people at the beach. The waves on the north shore are strong, but we were able to explore the tide pools and saw lots of sea life.This was my first time staying in a rental property on Hawaii. All of my previous trips were hotels or resort condos, so when I saw the property had air conditioning, I assumed central air and not 2 portable units.I’ve since looked at other listings and this appears to be the norm.I love the location because it is not crowded like Waikīkī, but if I come again I might spend a day or two on the south side since most tours leave from Waikīkī.

Booked almost 6 months in advance, immediately after booking the host reached out to tell me the location of the condo is not as it is posted. Location of condo is actually in a different bay completely different than location listed (turtle bay). Host was very pushy to get us to change our listing based of location miscommunication, but was no refundable. Also it was listed as fully stocked for shampoo/conditioner/ TP and body wash and pack n play , unfortunately That was not the case. Host communication was good about bringing things that we requested once we noticed they weren’t there. Host was nice, house was nice.

Great place and great location! We are planning on going back!

The location is not as advertised, it was hard to find the house, especially at night. The address provided in Vrbo did not match the address provided by host.The linens were old and rough, bathrooms not stocked with enough towels or toilet paper. The kitchen items old and not clean/organized.My family did not feel at home, two preferred to sleep on the couch. The host did respond when we where lost and did repair broken kitchen faucet same day when we reported it.The location and condition of house explains the great price for the rental, you get what you pay for.

Everything was great-super close to the beach, great kitchen and bedrooms and backyard.

The house was clean, air conditioning was good. There was a drawer that is very loosely screwed, and one of the bathroom doors is a bit stiff and doesn’t close.

The property didn’t have AC built in throughout the house but it did have portable AC units, 1 in the living room and 1 in the master bedroom. The units worked very well and the rooms without them had plenty of fans in them for our use. Laundry was super convenient to do, as the washer/dryer was just located behind the house in a separate room. The space was clean, comfortable, and VERY reasonably priced. We had a great stay, and even check out was a smooth process. Our only difficulties were that the listing address in VRBO took us to Turtle Bay resort while the listing address shared by the host was in Kahuku. This left us quite confused, and I reached out to the host promptly when I realized I had the wrong address. She answered via phone very quickly, however, was not as communicative over messaging. And while I realized afterwards that I had made the mistake since the host had given me the correct address from the start, I felt she was still a bit rude to me over this ordeal.

We loved our stay at this 3 bedroom property in Kahuku! The walk to the beach was about 10 minutes, just around the bend of the golf course. The house was pleasant. Easy check-in, plenty of towels, nice big couch for the family, and the amenities matched up to the description. The host was kind and responded very fast.

Large yard and deck. Host of the property was great. Comfortable stay with everything we needed.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PROPERTY!We were very dissatisfied with this property. The wrong address was given in the ad, stating it was in Turtle Bay and in reality was 10 minutes away. The property was very dirty and was infested with bugs. The towels and sheets seemed unclean,the bathroom shower curtain was torn and the bathroom rugs looked like they hadn't been washed for quite a while.The ad stated that there were beach chairs and snorkel gear which was inaccurate. The beach chairs were rusted and unstable. There was a beach umbrella but it was broken . The air conditioning was insufficient and failed to cool the whole house. The kitchen was gross and we did not feel comfortable preparing food there. It was advertised that the beach was walking distance from the home but the beach was not conducive for swimming, The beds were advertised as queen size but the front bedroom was a double. The beds were very uncomfortable. Again I recommend not renting this property

House was clean. It was a short walk to a beach. We had a great stay!

Such a good property. Clean and neat and modern. Loved our stay.

What we loved- a 7 min walk to the beach. It was like having our own private beach! Barely a person in sight. Family friendly for older kids (7). The yard on the property was wonderful- open grass area that was fenced in for the kids. Great sunset views. And a nice wrap around porch to relax. The inside of the property had a nice floor plan and good for family time. Wonderful large dining table. What could’ve made the stay even better would be a few more amenities such as towels/ beach towels and kitchenware (additional plates and bowls). The location should be updated to kahuku (not turtle bay) which was actually better for us vs turtle bay since we were happy to be away from the crowds but we were a quick drive to turtle bay or to the PCC. We had a wonderful stay.

FRAUD/SCAM! Do NOT book this property! The location is listed as Turtle Bay Resort but the home a 10-minute drive from there. The non refundable policy means that once you realize you have been duped, you cannot get your money back.If dirty and cluttered is your vibe, this is the place for you. It looked like they were living there, forgot we were coming, and quickly packed a bag to leave. No guest book with instructions. No keys on the counter as instructed. When I messaged Vanessa that we were not comfortable staying there she responded, “I was there today and it looked great.” Look at the attached photos and decide if it looks great.We are trying to get VRBO to remove this fraudulent and dirty home from their website, but so far, it is still listed. We don’t want another family, especially one with young children or a group who is short on funds to find themselves without accommodations late at night. Nearby hotels are 500-700/night. We needed two rooms, so we drove 90 minutes back to Waikiki for one night until we found a comparable condo in Turtle Bay.We had to spend an additional 2200 for a four-night stay. The host refused our request for a refund and not surprisingly, has not responded to VRBO’s calls and emails. This is easy money for a scam artist. VRBO says our cleanliness complaints are “minor.” We will let the pictures do the talking.We have filed a formal complaint against the host with the Hawaii Office of Consumer Protection.

Perfect place for peace and quiet next to the beach. We had an awesome time at this beautiful accommodation. It was very clean and comfortable. Walking distance to the beach, shops, grocery stores and restaurants. The location was perfect for us. Looking forward to renting this home again as soon as we can get back!

If you can I would stay far away from this rental. The problems continued coming everyday we stayed. We first got the wrong check in instructions and had I not asked for check in instructions I don’t think I would have gotten them. While the instructions got us into the house the rest of them we inaccurate such as keys and a gate fob being left for us etc. There is no “house book” so not only did we not have info on the area but we also had no instructions on check in/ out or the rules of the property. Multiple things were broken but usable upon arrival, I messaged the host about them and never got a response. The fridge door was broken, the shower handle, 2/3 fans were broken, multiple screens on the windows, and a closet door. The house was not very well cleaned as well. There were full trash bags left on the side of the house (most likely from previous guest). The carpets had dust and small pieces of trash left on them, as if they had been very lazily vacuumed. There were ants crawling on multiple walls and floors throughout the house and some dead ant trails left stuck to the walls. The window screens were covered in dust and dead bugs on the inside side and all the curtains had stains on them. We also saw two mice run through the house and found mice droppings in some of the drawers. The drawer had the owners clothes and towels in it and weren’t able to us the tv because it was child locked and we were not given the pin. We never received check out instructions.

We booked this unit specifically because it was listed at Kuilima Dr, in the same complex as our family. However, the host, Vanessa, gave us a completely different address miles away on South Golf Course Road. This was a blatant misrepresentation. We were traveling with young children and proximity was critical. The last-minute location change was unacceptable and disruptive.We spent over an hour on the phone with Vanessa trying to find the property. She was slurring her words, incoherent, and appeared intoxicated, making the situation even more stressful after a long day of travel. Once we arrived, the condition of the unit was appalling. The master bathroom toilet was full of human waste and did not flush, making the area reek. The sheets were clearly unwashed, towels were filthy, dishes were dirty, and the entire unit was grimy. We had to wash everything ourselves just to make it livable. We wore slippers to shower due to how unsanitary it was.I sent multiple texts and emails to Vanessa throughout our stay and received no response whatsoever. This property was not only misrepresented, it was unsafe and unhygienic. We spent our own time and money cleaning instead of relaxing. This was a clear breach of contract and an unacceptable experience.She said she was “out of the country.” Unacceptable. Avoid this woman and all her rentals at all costs. I have been in contact with VRBO and expect resolution soon. I’ve never had an experience like this.

We had a wonderful stay in a great location. It was perfect for our trip. There was enough room and we had no issues during our 11 days. We would stay there again :)

The house served our needs for our week in Hawaii. After I reserved, the owner messaged that it's in Kahuku, which I had already learned from reviews, but it means the listing is inaccurate on that point.

It’s NOT where advertised. We thought it was in Turtle Bay/Kawela Bay but it’s farther down the road in a neighborhood. There is no “short walk” to the beach. You have to walk through a golf course to get to a beach and it’s not within a visual distance from the home. It is close to a place where there are many food trucks and some shopping tents, which was great. The house is nice. Not very clean, and by the end of our 7 day stay there were about 50 flies in the house with no fly swatters. The portable air conditioning is wonderful. There are no washcloths so bring your own. No dressers and not many hangers in the closets. Great views of the golf course and lots of stars at night. We did enjoy our stay.

I’ll start with the cons; the checkin instructions were confusing, as they were for another property, and not the one we rented. When we arrived we had difficulty with the lockbox, not from user error, but because it had something sticky on it, making it difficult to open. I was expecting a welcome book, displaying the house rules, WiFi info, important contact numbers, local recommendations, etc. but there wasn’t one. We were a little disappointed to see the home did not look like it was cleaned well, a good wipe down of the counters/sinks, vacuum and shark mop could fix! There were ants behind the sink in the kitchen, but after spraying some bug spray found under the sink, that eliminated that problem. The owner informed us when we arrived that the delivery of an ac unit for the master bedroom was expected, it arrived on day 2.Now for the pros; the home is beautiful and spacious. I have to speak about the cozy comfy couch! We all had a nice nap on the couch at some point during our stay! It has a large enclosed yard for young ones to play safely. There were beach items available for use (chairs, umbrella, body boards) The location is not in Turtle Bay, but nearby, in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Beach access is a short walk away. Some recommendations that would elevate this rental would be; making sure the entire home is cleaned well prior to guests arriving, upgrading the bedroom curtains, (the master bedroom window faces the street, at night, cars driving by can

Overall good location. The listing is inaccurate for the location and check out time. Directions to the beach lead through a no trespassing area, but we didn't run into issues. The house in general was dusty and looked as if it needed a cleaning and hadn't been touched in a while. There was sand in the couch, laundry in the dry, dirty cup on the balcony, and various types of stains on the walls. As well as random clothes in the outside sink. VRBO host does communicate outside of the application. No checkout instructions were given at the time of checkout. I did ask for instructions. I did get repetitive instructions on location, followed with a phone call of "I thought I made myself clear". After that I felt uncomfortable asking more questions.

Overall, we had a great stay. All the things that mattered , the house provided. Sure, there is some maintenance the property could use and the kitchen could be better equipped for those of us that like to cook. One thing I would suggest would be a book with food options, attractions, maps etc., check in check out and feedback section.Having said that, the host was very resposive to questions/concerns and responded quickly to an air conditioner issue. She made check in easy and convenient and check out was chill as well. She also gave us some good recommendations for beaches and local grub. What you are paying for here, and I mean this with the utmost sincerity, is the location! You are less that 5 minutes from an INCREDIBLE beach, and you mostly will have it to yourself. The property is also very close to all the North Shore beaches (highly recommend sunsets on ...Sunset beach as a free but breathtaking experience) and attractions and most other things on the east side of the island are a convenient drive away. The food options within a half mile of this location are many. Recommendations include Sugar Mills/Seven brothers complex. This was our main food supply while here due to the variety, quality and costs are lower compared with "sit down" restaurants. The pizza truck, Seven Brothers, Sushi and deli hot sandwiches there were our favs. as wll as a Thai food truck a little down the way called "The Elephant". In short :), we would love to stay here again

Host responded quickly to all questions. 10 min drive to Turtle Bay, where we attended a wedding and events. The beach at Turtle Bay is open to the public, which we found very desirable on windy days. Public parking with good signage and lots of available parking spaces

This property is NOT LOCATED in Turtle Bay, as the owner falsely lists & advertises in the title. Also, the owner lists an address bubble that FALSELY shows the property in the Turtle Bay resort area, which it is NOT. This property is actually a 10 minute drive south of Turtle Bay in Kahuku and sits next to the KAHUKU GOLF COURSE and the beach requires a 10 minute difficult walk across the golf course and through government & private property to the KAHUKU beach. The property listing & address bubble of TURTLE BAY is inaccurate and deceptive. The property’s amenities are listed accurately; three bedroom, two bath, private home, washer/dryer, etc, although the air conditioning is located solely in the living room/kitchen area. So the bedrooms only have fans for cooling. It is a nice property and would be fine if accurately listed as being in south Kahuku. And after we booked and were unable to request a refund, the host did text to clarify that the property was a 5 min drive to Turtle Bay, which is also inaccurate because her property is a 10 min drive (45-60 minute walk) to Turtle Bay. We are baffled why the host isn’t truthful with the listing & location of her actual property. We contacted vrbo to inform them of the fraudulent listing. The host was informed and contacted us by phone not through VRBO. She was dismissive about the issues and accused us of being aggressive. We were forced to find alternate accommodations last minute, costing us more money and stress.

The owner was friendly and helpful. The place was quiet and perfect for our trip.

By far the worst experience Ive ever had with a vacation rental AND host. First off, the address you receive when checking in is inaccurate. The address given during check in is a separate address about a 5 minute drive to the actual rental. The owner led us to the rented property and once we arrived, she WENT INSIDE the property and showed us around which was only the first red flag. The property is located in an unsafe neighborhood and we were not provided with keys. When we asked owner for the keys, she stated that we “don’t need keys because it is a safe neighborhood”. Upon arrival, we noticed bugs everywhere, broken microwave, DISGUSTING kitchen, dirty sheets, sticky and smelly property overall. The host was dismissive about the issues and once we reported them directly to vrbo, the host accused us of being unreasonable and refused to accommodate our issues. We were forced to find alternate accommodations last minute, costing us more money and stress. The host was rude, argumentative, and aggressive and instead of texting directly through vrbo, would text mean and unprofessional comments to my personal number. Save yourself the headache and AVOID THIS PROPERTY AT ALL COSTS.

Our family had a great time here. Checking in was easy and communication with Vanessa was excellent. Thank you.

Beds comfortable. I had to contact owner for info one hour before check in time, while driving. Info hadn't been sent. Doorknobs and doorframes could use good scrubbing. Fans in each . Had beach chairs and umbrella for useroom. Very convenient for Laie

It was a good stay. Just not at the location listed in the header.

Great island getaway. Close to everything.

The location of listing is not in turtle bay it is about 10 min drive from turtle bay. There is a beach that is walking distance but it has a lot of rocks. The house is nice as the pictures show but the location is not Turtle Bay.

We did a weekend stay for a coworkers wedding.

We stayed in this home with our family of six, with children ranging from 4 years old to teenager. The home provided a lot of space, with 3 BR and 2 baths, a good size kitchen/eating area, beautiful deck, and family room. The laundry area had beach gear, such as chairs, boogie boards, and snorkeling gear. The host was very responsive and great to work with. It was very easy to get anywhere on the north shore.

Nice and cozy, but listing doesn't give important details. Overall decent Could use better fans in all rooms. AC unit is a portable unit and only in the living room. Hot water is on a timer and washer is plumbed backwards. So if you do a load of laundry before showering, you will be taking a cold shower. Actual location is 10 minutes away from Turtle bay resort, not on it.

Nice house and property, close to the beach and polynesian cultural center. The beach is less crowded and is beautiful. We had a comfortable and a pleasant stay here at this house. Owner is very friendly and responds to any questions/ concerns immediately.
