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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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. ).
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.
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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
