This is a great place to stay on the North Shore. The unit is part of an older building, but it is well maintained and spotlessly clean. It’s in a great location for exploring this beautiful part of the island. We really enjoyed our stay here.
What a wonderful experience with the host, and a great location. The condo is in a great location for exploring the North Shore. It was very tidy and had many great supplies for the beach. The cooking amenities were limited. It is only set up for takeout, with disposable cutlery and picnic dishes. A pearing knife would have been nice to enjoy the local pineapples and other fruits and baked goods. The balcony is for looks only, it’s not a usable space to enjoy the outdoors. Overall it was a clean place to stay in a cute little condo facility with a nice pool, nearby trails, pickle ball and tennis courts. The hosts were very helpful whenever we needed help with parking or local ideas and attractions. We would definitely visit this area again.
Calm arra close to beaches and hikes
We loved staying at this place. We tought it would have had a kitchen but we might have read to quickly. Vera was really responsive and helpful. We enjoyed the place and the location.
Clean and tidy. Walking distance to beach and golf. Owners are detail-oriented, and did their best to accommodate our needs.
We used Tiki Terrace (aka Tropical Paradise Studio) as a base to explore Oahu’s North Shore. Communication with the owners was excellent. Vera & Steve provided clear communication about entering the complex & the unit. The studio was spotless & nicely decorated. Steve greeted us & explained what we needed to know about the unit & the area. Very helpful. The studio is fairly small with a queen sized bed, dining table for 2, coffee nook with refrigerator (Keurig with coffee was provided), good sized & updated bathroom. There are no cooking facilities in the room, including microwave. Amenities, such as cups, plates & cutlery are available (in the closet). Next to the dining table is a sliding glass door. There’s a small balcony in front of the table. It’s not for sitting or hanging wet towels, etc. It’s the only window in the studio. The air conditioner is behind the refrigerator in the coffee nook. So only a portion of the a/c is exposed. It didn’t work very well at cooling the room. So the room was warm at night, even using the ceiling fan. In Hawaii folks use the trade winds to stay cool, so windows are open for cross ventilation. We didn’t keep the sliding door open at night because of the bright lights in the parking lot & poor fit of the screen. On the grounds are a common pool, bbq. Parking is just outside the unit. You’re close to grocery stores & food trucks, the beaches & Waimea Botanical Garden. Nice place, nice people. Great visit to Oahu’s North Shore.

Very nice Host and a nice Room with Beach chairs.
Good Location. It was clean.
Good Communication. It was a good stay there.
The Air condition is to small for the Room. It doesn’t cool down.
It was too warm for me for sleeping .
Conveniently located clean and thoughtfully furnished room. Property manager was available and professional and kind. 100% recommend.
Listing a little deceiving as expected bigger unit. Overall nice stay.
I stayed here with my two daughters for a week. One daughter slept on a provided pad on the floor, which she said was okay. The owners are very helpful and it is very clean and well taken care of. It is in a nice, quiet and safe location on the north shore. It’s the size of a hotel room and is great if you don’t need a kitchen.
Love staying in this unit when we come to visit our family who live on the North Shore. It’s an affordable place to stay in Turtle Bay. The owner is great to work with and very responsive. The unit is clean and quiet. Slept good all 7 nights. It’s our second stay and we look forward to returning!
Vera and Charlie have a beautiful place and I cannot say enough good things about the location. The hikes surrounding it are excellent, access to the Turtle Bay resort was fun for evening cocktails, and it was the perfect jumping off point for exploring the north shore. Plus, Charlie went above and beyond to make our stay in excellent. We would stay again in a heartbeat.
Room was just as described, definitely small but cozy. Loved the beach chairs, umbrellas and cooler provided. Wish there was a small microwave and toaster but the small fridge was nice. We would have loved big fluffy cotton beach towels instead of thin microfiber. Host was awesome, thorough and friendly. We loves our stay.

Was a delightful stay. Communicated with owner (who was away), but her partner did the greeting, explaining, etc. Seamless!
Better than expected! The property manager met us there at 11:00 PM. He was so kind and walked us thru everything. The room was spotless. They even provided beach towels, bug spray, beach chairs and an umbrella. There is a small refrigerator for drinks, milk etc. A small table for all the fresh fruit we were eating! You will have a parking spot, and access to everything at the Turtle Bay Resort. Can't say enough great things about this place.
This was a lovely little place to stay, basically like a hotel room size which was all we needed. The host had lots of special touches like macadamia treats, toiletries, sunscreens, beach supplies to use which was great as well. Thanks!
Was a great stay. Beds were comfortable, easy to walk to restaurants. Pool and breakfast were good too.
Very comfortable and clean! Easy walk to the beach. I'd stay there again.
The property was quiet and close to Turtle Bay. The caretaker was quick to answer questions and gave us good ideas for local sights. It was very clean and comfortable
The biggest issue was that we could not cook in the room and that we did not have a washer/dryer in the unit.
The size of the unit would be better for a couple. Three would be a tight fit.
Great place to stay for a few days.
