Rental Details
Property Overview
Honu Kai Hideaway is like a treehouse with views of ocean, golf course and mountains. We are nestled among the trees and lush landscaping of the spectacular Turtle Bay Resort, an 880 acre tropical paradise. Our Hideaway is the perfect blend of tropical seclusion amidst many of the amenities offered by a world class resort. We are located on the 2nd floor. There are 15 steps leading up the stairs.
Honu Kai Hideaway is remarkably more light and airy than other Kuilima Estate condos because additional large windows showcase our expansive view with a 'treetop' feel. The private Lanai is perfect for relaxing outdoors or enjoying meals al fresco.
As you may notice by our reviews, we receive many 5 stars. We are so grateful that our guests love our family vacation home as we do! However, we are NOT a 5 star resort according to hotel ratings. For those of you with 4 or 5 star hotel tastes, you might consider other options for places to stay. Honu Kai Hideaway is our family vacation home that we elect to also use as a vacation rental. It is furnished for active people on-the-go. Also, as a vacation rental, we do not offer concierge service. We are happy to try our best to assist you while you stay with us, but we are not a 24 hour concierge service. If you desire this kind of service, please consider staying at Turtle Bay Resort. Guests who enjoy Vacation Rentals over hotels do so because of the privacy and independence that a Vacation Rental offers.
The condo is fully furnished including a small flat screen HD TV, WIFI, and Cable TV. (However, it should be noted that Internet service and Wi Fi are often spotty and intermittent on the North Shore).
Because screened doors and windows are often left open to allow tropical breezes to flow throughout the condo, we have elected to use high quality outdoor furniture in the living room. The frames are made of all weather woven resin wicker for easy and long maintenance.
The kitchen is full-sized with stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. (Barbecues are available poolside). A washer and dryer is included within the unit. The bedroom offers a Cal King bed with air conditioning in the bedroom.
Air conditioning is now offered in the living room! We would appreciate your assistance in saving energy by turning off the air conditioning when you are not there. Mahalo for saving Hawaii’s energy.
Honu Kai Hideaway is located along the renowned stretch of beaches that make up Oahu's North Shore. The North Shore is known for country living, relaxed lifestyle, beautiful surfing beaches, eclectic shopping and pleasurable restaurants.
Honu Kai Hideaway is located on the East side of Kuilima Estates and is surrounded by two championship golf courses. Some of the amenities available to guests include tennis courts and two swimming pools each of which includes a barbeque area. A short walk and you are at the Turtle Bay Hotel which has many terrific restaurants, a great pool bar, entertainment and magnificent beaches. There are many activities on the property that can be booked at either the Hotel concierge desk or the Activities Center. One can choose from horseback riding, bicycle or moped rentals, surf lessons and helicopter rides. Golf can be booked at the golf pro shop which is also home to Lei Lei’s restaurant a favorite of locals.
Fabulous eating options abound within the Resort and on the North Shore. A scenic 15-30 minute drive in either direction offers a sumptuous variety of local, international or resort cuisine. Locally grown fruit and vegetable stands are just down the road. Ted's Bakery is less than 10 minutes away (Chocolate Haupia Pies!). We also have a delightful grocery store, Foodland which is just 20 minutes away.
Historic Haleiwa town, a 30 minute drive, is an old whaling village and has become a shopper's paradise and restaurant-lovers delight. Yet it still maintains it's old town charm.
Every conceivable water activity is easily available to you here at the Resort and on the North Shore: Surfing, Sunbathing, Diving, Snorkeling, Tide Pools, Whale Watching, Fishing, Jet Skiing and more. Lessons are available for anyone with a desire to learn.
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 as well as fabulous hiking trails including the trail to Waimea Falls. Other must-sees for the active visitor are Waimea Botanical Gardens, Polynesian Cultural Center and Haleiwa Town.
The winter months bring added excitement when the waves swell to huge proportions and pro surfers from all over the world assemble to compete in the Triple Crown of Surfing. This is a fabulous spectator sport not to be missed if you are fortunate enough to visit during this time. You can always find sheltered beaches and smaller waves to enjoy the water if the huge ones 'aren't your thing'.

Great accommodation all amenities were great location was great.
everything was spot on. great host, location, and amenities
Location was great! Very nice place to stay with comfortable bed and furniture.
The Hideaway had great space and everything you need for a comfortable stay. The pool that was just steps away was beautiful and not busy at all. The Turtle Bay resort was a short walk away and it was a great place to watch the sunset.
It’s a lovely condo on the 2nd floor surrounded by greenery. We enjoyed sitting on the balcony listening to the rain and birds. It was very clean and comfortable for 2 people. The area is surrounded by beautiful beaches and surf. We would come back to enjoy to property again.The host was easy to get a hold of and promptly answered any questions we had.
This little slice of paradise was exactly what was described. The hosts are fantastic and the directions they provided for everything was spot on. Anyone who gets confused are not reading the directions properly. Honu Kai Hideaway is in the best location, close to everything. I just wish we spent less days in Waikiki and more at the North Shore and Honu Kai Hideaway. We had such a relaxing 4 days there and it really felt like home. It has everything you would need. The bathroom is so nice with soft, fluffy towels. The open kitchen & lounge is great and you can see the ocean from the lounge. It was beautiful sitting out in the lanai at any time listening to the birds and looking at either the garden surrounds or the ocean. There is a great breeze that goes straight through so we didn't need to use the air conditioner at all. There is an air con in the bedroom but we didn't use this either, just the ceiling fan was all we needed. No bugs at all but we are from Queensland Australia so ours are a lot worse anyway. The whole place was so clean and inviting. The pool was awesome, very refreshing. We spent the last afternoon swimming at the Turtle Bay resort beach where 2 Honu's were happily swimming around us. We really felt like we were on a Hawaiian holiday. This was the perfect place to celebrate my Mums 80th birthday. I will definitely stay here again!
Amazing will come back
The owners are amazing. We’ll start there. Property is perfectly located to soak in all the north shore has to offer and if chaos is what you seek, it’s a beautiful and relaxing drive to the Waikiki and Honolulu area. Property serves as a perfect base camp and at night, open the screen doors and a beautiful tropical breeze blows with no need for AC. Little girl and I loved our stay!
100%
Excellent condo for north shore exploration.
My second time here and love it!
No restaurants ...only food trucks.The loft was locked. Could NOT enter.Gym on site count us 100 per day - give me a break
Turtle Bay Resort is ideal for unwinding after a week at Waikiki.
Property is well maintained and comfortable. There is a new AC unit in the bedroom but we didn’t need it as the ceiling fan and air through sliding lanai door kept us cool. The hosts were very responsive and the key pickup instructions easy to follow. My husband enjoyed the pools and there were nice walkable beaches. Very laid back area of the island. Enjoyed our time there!
We have been coming to this condo for several years. The owners are easy to communicate with and every year they have upgraded the property to make it even more comfortable. The location next to the Turtle Bay resort is fabulous for swimming, hiking, surfing and viewing wildlife.
Loved this golf course condo with extra windows we didn’t see in other units that enhanced the wrap around view.Easy walk to pool, beach, restaurants. Bed was comfortable as was the living room furniture.I loved the dishwasher so much I may buy one just like it.Full size washer and dryer in unit.Stairs to reach the condo are very steep so be prepared in advance.
Well maintained property with the best views of all the condos nearby. This is not one of those condos facing your neighbors and the parking lot.Situated on the second floor, the unit gave us privacy and even a view of the breakers in the distance.We are not golfers, but the undulating green fairways catch the low-angle sunlight in wonderful ways. Then there are the many birds, including albatross.Loved the access to trails in all directions. And Kahuku Farms is just 5 minutes down the road.Great cross-ventilation and window screens meant no A/C needed (Jan).Owners were particularly helpful and communicative. We are grateful.
My wife and I had great time staying here! The beach was a short walk through the closed down portion of the golf course. We loved walking the trails. Also fun walk down to the hotel for lunches and dinner.
Beautiful View, pretty nice place.
The condo is a terrific spot and definitely recommend it for a couple. Lived having the Ritz so close by to go watch beautiful sunsets at the resort bar and a bit to eat. All amenities that are important for the condo are provided. Henri n Natalie
Great location, awesome recommendations for restaurants. The host had what would be expected at a vacation house right down to the cooler bag and ice packs. Super location to explore the North Shore
beautiful
So nice.
it was clean and quiet - really enjoyed the area and the unit
Great unit. Lots of recent upgrades since our last stay. Beautiful new shower, very nice new sliding glass door. AC is great. Great plank flooring. One of the nicer units at the Kuilima Condo’s. We will be back.
This condo was perfect for 2 people. Very relaxing with the tropical breeze flowing through. The condo had all the amenities needed for our stay. The property on turtle bay had everything from walking paths, pool, restaurants and the beach. This place is worth coming back to.
Had a restful re-charge at Honu Kai Hideaway! Views of the North Shore water and waves from the living room and deck. Bright and comfortable and handy beach towels and beach chairs were appreciated! We cooked breakfast in the morning and explored nearby for dinners. Awesome peace away from city.
After staying four nights in the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, my wife and I were looking forward to our North Shore stay. It was super easy to pick up the key and find the condo. What a great location, in Turtle Bay without having to pay the Turtle Bay prices. The condo had everything we needed plus some beach chairs and umbrella which came in handy. The room air conditioner was a bonus. It was very peaceful and quiet. There are several beaches within walking distance and some great hiking/ running trails . Lots of great food places just a short drive away including Ted’s bakery( Great pie and donuts), Giovanni’s shrimp truck and lots of food trucks that we did takeout and brought back to the condo. Hale’iwa town had lots of great food and shops too including Matsumoto shaved ice. We also rented kayaks and paddled up a river there. We did a lot and nothing was really that far away. If you’re looking for a great place to stay, you can’t go wrong here.😀
Perfect location for two people. End unit on upper floor gives you privacy and an amazing view. Because of the breeze, rarely had to turn on the air conditioning. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and beautiful balcony overlooking the golf course. Ten minute walk to the resort. Five out of five stars!
Great location. Well equipped clean and comfortable condo. We loved all the walking trails nearby, amazing beaches within walking distance. Would highly recommend a stay here.
The location was ideal for us. It was an easy drive to Kahuku and Haleiwa for lots of restaurant/food truck options. Only a 15 minute drive to Foodland groceries in Pupukea. We ventured to the windward side as well as Ka'aena State park and felt the condo was perfectly located.
We enjoyed the location and views. Absolutely beautiful. The owners provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The owner Brian was easy to work with and responded timely. We look forward to our next stay.
This condo has everything you need for a comfortable stay on the North Shore. Brian is an excellent host. When we needed the lights fixed he responded right away. The condo is near beautiful beaches, nice hikes and good eating places. Every night we watched the sunset from Turtle Bay. It is truly a hidden gem.
The condo was cute and in good condition and very well stocked. Many good surprises I wouldn't have expected to be supplied with. The condo was in one of the best locations in the entire property - it was like a treehouse tucked in among the vegetation surrounding the golf course AND there was a peek-a-boo view of the ocean. Sunrises were beautiful! Communication with the owners was great.
Nice place, well stocked w/everything. Really appreciated the beach chairs! Comfortable bed & pillows. Instructions to pick up key in big red mailbox is wrong, it’s black. Needs a working fan in the bathroom to vent steam. The two cockroaches (under living room windows) were a surprise, since we didn’t have ann food out. Thank you for responding to our questions regarding the washer promptly.
Great accomodation, location and view! Our stay was very comfortable. The place was equipped with all the necessary amenities and was very nicely decorated. We had everything we needed for a perfect vacation and we could really feel that the owners care a lot about their guests!
