Welcome to Kuilima Estates, the condo property located on the grounds of world-renowned Turtle Bay. The condos are surrounded by two beautifully manicured golf courses and are the only condos on the North Shore. This is a great place to relax, rewind, and restore, and a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The condo property is a short walk to the hotel and to a lovely, sheltered, coved beach, where you can swim, snorkel, and surf. We have our pools, with lounge chairs, an outdoor shower, and charcoal BBQ grills. Bring your own equipment and play tennis on our courts at no charge. Experience the comforts of home as you experience aloha!
Since we are in a tropical environment, it is common to see insects and geckos in the condos. No amount of spraying will completely eliminate insects, especially ants.*NUC 90-TVU-0263...

The location is great- on the course and close to the pool. The furnishings are very dated as you can tell from the listing. The unit has more wear than I was prepared for - and given the premium price, I expected more, I would be mindful of this. The check in was easy. I think having beach chairs is a reasonable assumption but we couldn’t find any.

We stayed here for our family’s first visit to Hawaii and could not have been happier. The condo was beautiful and perfect for our needs as we wanted to be able to cook some of our meals during our stay to be able to save a bit on meal costs. The kitchen and cooking appliances were useable and everything we needed was provided. We also were able to do laundry which kept us ready to explore and play each day.
The facilities at the resort are beautiful, we loved the pools, gardens, gheckos, and pickleball. We had an evening family pool party one of the evenings where we grilled at the pool and had the pool closest to our condo to ourselves and our kids used the pools to practice snorkeling to prepare for a day at Sharks Cove.
The staff was very helpful but allowed privacy and the neighboring tenants were very quiet, keeping the experience serene and restful. We highly recommend this resort and can’t wait to return.

We loved our stay at the Alea! The resort is beautiful and we loved walking across the golf course to watch the sunset at the beach. The kitchen was decently stocked with everything you need to cook. We really liked having 2 full bathrooms and a washer and dryer. Our only complaint is that the loft got very warm for our two younger kids. Ifthe trade winds weren't blowing, it was very uncomfortable as they were trying to sleep. We definitely recent this property! And if you get it chance, make sure to check out the organic shave ice place that is across the highway from the entrance to Turtle Bay. It was our favorite!

I recently stayed at a vacation rental in what was advertised as Kuilima Estates East, only to find out it was actually located in Kuilima Estates West.The general location map showes it on the west side of Kuilima Dr. Kuilima East is much more acessable to the beach, thats why we prefer to stay there. Throughout our stay, we encountered numerous disappointments that made the price we paid feel exorbitant.Firstly, the pool, was closed six out of the seven days we were there. This lack of access to a promised amenity greatly hindered our enjoyment.Upon entering the property, we were greeted with an unpleasant surprise – nails protruding from the rug, posing a safety hazard. It was clear that cleanliness and maintenance were not priorities, as evidenced by the broken screen and damaged appliances scattered throughout the condo.Furthermore, the state of cleanliness was appalling. Sand, hair, and stains littered the surfaces, indicating a lack of thorough cleaning between guests. It was disheartening to feel like we had stepped into someone else's mess rather than a professionally managed vacation rental.Overall, our experience fell far short of our expectations, leaving us feeling cheated out of our hard-earned money. The combination of misleading advertising, lack of amenities, and poor cleanliness makes it impossible for me to recommend this property to others. Save yourself the disappointment and look elsewhere for your vacation accommodations.

great place to stay! Condo could use a little updating, such as fresh paint, a new rug and new couch. But it was clean and enjoyed our time there. Loved having the golf course out the back, the pool so close and the beach within walking distance! Would stay here again

Great updated unit with newer flooring and countertops. Fully stocked kitchen and plenty of ice in icemaker. Would stay here again! Cust service agents were very helpful and friendly. Only negative is the security deposit takes several weeks and several phone calls to get back. Rental agreement says it will be refunded 2-3 days after the stay.

Staying at Kuilima Estates was a great experience. The condo was very clean and in an excellent location- one pool was right outside our door and the beach, golf course, and stables were all within short walking distances. We loved going for walks in the evening to Lei Lei’s restaurant at the golf course for drinks and dessert! The North Shore area is fabulous and we much preferred it to the few days we spent in the Honolulu area. There is so much to see and do around the North Shore! A few things we’d suggest the owners attend to: a better mattress in upstairs bedroom (it was pretty tough to sleep comfortably when you’re both rolling inward!), an arrival supply of coffee would have been appreciated for that first morning after a very late arrival the night before, the furniture on the lanai was terrible to sit on-please upgrade!! Generally this unit could use a little TLC- a new paint job would definitely spruce it up. There were beach towels, but no snorkel gear or beach chairs, so we left two sets of snorkel gear and two lawn chairs. Overall, it was clean , comfortable for our family of five adults and one young baby, a great location, and we’d stay definitely stay here again!

Nice spot but the condo complex is very run down. Our condo had peeling paint, water damaged floors and very old bathroom and bedroom fittings.

the first time we went to use the sink on the main floor, it did not drain.We wondered how anyone had cleaned that sink and NOT noticed it, leading us to the nasty thought that the sink had not even been cleaned before our arrival. (BTW, this was confirmed by the plumber who came the next day)I was too late to call but I called first thing on Thursday, which was Thanksgiving day and was told someone would come out to repair it. No one showed up by afternoon, and when I called again the call was patched through to Security, who said no one was around to do anything till the next day. Another call to ETB and no answer and another call to Security, who kindly said he could contact the owner. I made another call to ETB around 11 AM and they said they would send someone out. The sink was fixed some time around 3 PM on Friday. To not have any repair people available on holidays is absurd! People generally rent vacation places because it is a holiday....What if the toilet had overflowed....would that also need to wait?

Reviewer Comments:
Our group of four (two couples) stayed at this property for four nights and had a great time. The kitchen was nicely updated and the living area and bedrooms were spacious enough. The property was a 12 minute walk from the main Turtle Bay resort, beach, restaurants, etc. which was very convenient. The property had also recently been sprayed for bugs when we arrived and we did notice numerous bugs while visiting, but this could be fairly standard for first-floor properties of this type (this was our first experience on Oahu so cannot say for sure). Overall, the property suited our needs perfectly, even if some if the amenities could use updating. We would recommend to other prospective guests.
