Oceanfront in Punaluu, sleep to the sound of waves!

The condo was very clean, had a great kitchen and was very comfortable. Carole did a great job of communicating with us. The only downside: If you have any issues with strong scents, you might have some difficulty with this place. The couch and all decorative pillows and throw blanket were sprayed with something very strong smelling. Strong scented dryer sheets were put in all of the dresser drawers. Our sinuses were killing us from the strong smells. We solved the issue by piling all of the pillows and throw blanket in a corner of the living room, covered the couch with the extra sheets, and put the box of very strong scented dryer sheets that were under the sink in the bathroom outside. Just FYI - the bedroom is located on the street side of the building and next to the elevators where people tend to congregate and talk & you will hear cars at night.

This listing is completely as advertised. My wife and I had absolutely zero issues. Owner/manager are very responsive and helpful. Beach is awesome and the sea turtles are an added bonus. We loved not having the hustle a bustle of the big city and the north shore is so fun.

Nice place to stay on North Shore. Close to PCC and Kualoa Ranch. Sign up for a free Maika card at Foodland in Laie. You'll save a lot on groceries. Turtles on beach every night is fun and educational. Walk out to the beach from this 1st floor condo!

If you want a secluded spot with the best private beach you can’t ask for me. Carole was amazing as an owner. Only one caveat… if the trade winds aren’t blowing it can get pretty warm in the condo. Only thing I can say that was negative.

Check in was easy and hassle free, Carole gave easy instructions and communicated great during our entire stay. We had no issues, very clean, all beach equipment was there and in great shape. Patio furniture perfect for sunrise, sunset, and having dinner. There is everything you need, with in close vicinity, shopping, groceries, and hiking trails. Saw turtles everyday on the beach.

Anything you need for the beach was there! Great patio and sunrise

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Turtle Haven. Carole was exceptional with communication. Check in was easy, peppery location was amazing. Had all of the necessities for a 6 day stay. Turtles on the beach after sunset and before sunrise each morning. Weather was very windy this time of year which made snorkeling hard, but didn’t damper our time!

We stayed here for a week and it was the perfect location with kids being right on the beach and having a pool. We will definitely be staying again on our next visit to Oahu!

This condo is right on the beach! Ground floor, walk out sliding door, across grass to sandy beach.

Very clean, nice sheets and towels and beach chairs. Great for 2 people. We love to walk and there really wasn’t a place to do that. We did use the gym everyday. Nice selection of weights.

Loved walking out on to the lanai and grass.Could see the turtles at night on the beach when they came ashore to sleep. Some units were owner occupied and we were invited to join in a 4 o’clock “cocktail “ hour. Picked up fresh seafood from local market yum! Folks were super friendly and taught my husband how to barbecue on briquettes. There was a hiccup with the cable and owner worked hard to resolve.

The Condo was everything you need and some. It was wonderful having the beach with in walking distance. Beach was our own personal area. Was perfect, not huge waves. Enough to go in and enjoy. The condo - very clean. Exactly what we needed. Bedroom does face the parking lot - some nights a little loud due to people arriving. But nothing bad. Definitely a place for some R& R. And that’s why we chose this place. Would love to rent it again in the future Thank you Carole, for your accommodations.

We were more than thrilled with our stay! The condo has everything you could need, and more! The view is incredible, and while walking the beach at night, we always saw several large sea turtles. The location is away from the hustle-and-bustle of the busy city, which we enjoyed. Carole, the property manager was easy to communicate with, and always readily available to offer suggestions nearby attractions. We can't wait to come back!

My 10 year old daughter and I loved everything about the condo. Being able to literally walk out the door and onto the beach made our vacation a thousand times better! Geographically, the location is perfectly situated to easily explore the North Shore and surrounding areas. I highly recommend Carole’s place and hope to be back.

We absolutely loved this property! It's located on a quieter part of the island, which we really enjoyed. We absolutely slept to the sound of waves every night and watched the sun rise to the sound of the rooster crow every morning. We could often find sea turtles nearby after dark and took full advantage of the easy access to the beach. The property has plenty of amenities including beach gear and towels and access to a pool and workout room. The space is decorated beautifully, and we enjoyed everything about it!

The location is great to visit Kualoa Ranch (

The property was just what we were looking for. It was clean, well maintained, next to the beach with an ocean view and the owner was very friendly and accessible. We would definitely recommend it and stay there again.

Construction was an issue and we could not use outside balcony because of personnel outside our door from 8 am to 4pm. I still rate this property high and will return.

Right next to beach. Quiet area of island that we really enjoyed. Everything works in unit and it is very clean! There is no oven in the unit but there is a small countertop air fryer/oven appliance. The bed is pretty comfortable. Lots of cups, glasses, plates, etc. The elevator is next to the bedroom - it is pretty quiet though and didn’t hinder my sleep at all. It was lovely listening to the surf all day/night!!
