We stayed here as we had family also staying close for the last 2 days of the trip. We did enjoy the location, but the rental needs some repairs for the price we stayed at:
-The downstairs bathtub is cracked and so we did not want to risk using it.
-cabinet door below the sink is barely hanging on the hinge
-upstairs bathroom sink right handle came off on first use.
We would not mind staying here again, but the price would have to be much lower. For a 2 night stay with cleaning fees it was only a few hundred less than what we were paying to stay in a 2 room suite at a 4 star resort resort. In the end we wish we had just stayed at the resort and skipped this rental.

Kuilima estates is a great location on the North Shore area that we staycation at without paying hotel fees. This unit does need to updated and there is a little ant problem but being from Oahu it didn’t bother us much. This unit is an end unit is a up/downstairs unit which is great and the pool 15 yards away that my kids love. Pool has a grill area and you’ll meet locals and tourists whom are always friendly.

The condo was lovely and clean. It was such a treat to make family memories. We're a kamaaina family from Kaneohe, so the weather was "delicious. Suggestions: Sharpen knives; maybe air in the loft; visit rear sliding doors as they kept coming of the tracks.Thanks so very much. Patti M.

Reviewer Comments:
The check in and checkout was very easy. There were no major issues and we absolutely enjoyed our stay. The proximity to LeiLei's was wonderful and it was a quick and very pleasant walk to the beach. My only suggestions are for for the appearance of the condo. The condo's interior is showing its age and could be refreshed. The previous reviews state that the carpet is clean but worn, and we found that to be the case. The screen doors on the lanai were warped and constantly fell off their tracks, which made it difficult to enter and exit that part of the condo. The drapes in the living room did not draw back very far, blocking the beautiful view of the Fazio course and the many rainbows which occurred throughout the day. It would also be helpful to label the light switches in the living room. All in all these were relatively minor and we would definitely use this rental agency and condo again.

We have stayed at 3 different units at Kuilima Estates over the past 10 years. We "thought" we had reserved a different unit for this year, but were pleasantly surprised with Unit 21 Bird of Paradise. It was by far the most well appointed unit to date. Ample closet space and shelving, additional bedding and pillows in case we needed to change beds, ample dishes, beach chairs, pool towels. The bedrooms both had window air conditioning units that cooled the room nicely as well as ceiling fans throughout the unit. There was a standing fan for each space. The bathrooms both had a tub/shower combo. There was only some dated wear'n tear in the bathrooms, the rest of the unit was clean and updated. These are 1970's units in their original appointment. There has obviously been paint and flooring that has been updated, but you get what you pay for. If you want NEW then pay the $800+/night for a resort room. These units have always been the perfect fit for our family. We spend each day at a beach somewhere, eat in the Turtle Bay restaurants (all within walking distance) and enjoy the Kuilima Cove. Thank you for another awesome Spring Break in Hawaii!

Reviewer Comments:
The unit had a nice view of a retired golf course and was close to one of the restaurants. It was also a 5 minute walk to the main resort. Although the photos were technically accurate, the entire unit, other than the granite countertop in the kitchen was very outdated. The kitchen cabinets were taped in places, the walls were dirty, the trim paint had washed off in places, the main level bathroom had poor lighting and the medicine cabinet was dirty and rusted out. Both the tile and the carpet were also dirty. The dishwasher ran but didn't clean the dishes. There were dishes with food stuck on them in the cabinets. We reported this but it was not repaired during our stay. It was windy during our stay and we could not figure out how to keep the bedroom windows from whistling and rattling most of the night.

We arrived on property via the given directions with little challenge. We arrived after dark so finding our villa number was a bit challenging due to lack of lighting but we did it. A porch light being left on would have been helpful. Our villa was set up as stated and we were excited to settle and explore. Every bed was used by our party of 6 and more comfortable beds was everyones' request/desire. We had full days of beach and activity so we fell in to bed every night good and tired. I worked with a rental company as an inspector and was responsible for being sure everything was clean and welcoming for incoming guests. I didnt get that welcoming feeling since the pillows on the sofa were out of place and not fluffed and freshened and the twin beds in loft were a bit disheveled. The arms of the chair were quite soiled and is such an easy spot clean that didnt happen. The sofa was super comfortable and loved by all. The installed ceiling fans need attention too on cleanliness and function. It just didnt feel like it was known for months we were coming and rental company checked everything the day or two before our arrival to be sure everything was fresh, clean and ready. Our key FOB wasn't in the villa either but a phone call fixed that with ease and getting in the gate prior to getting FOB was not a problem. A Welcome note on the counter would have been a nice touch. We are a very laid back family and we were happy there and did not complain. I am sharing here so the rental company/owners can improve if they wish to. The location is spectacular and we walked to the resort every morning for coffee and amazing views. It is a nice villa that needs just a bit of TLC and attention to make it a GREAT villa but it did have everything we needed and we would all stay there again. Oahu is a special magical place and we went to several different beaches during our 10 day stay and visited several food trucks and hiked. We will return!

Reviewer Comments:
We had 2 condos right next to each other, which helped our large family stay connected. The Bird of Paradise was a lot nicer than the Hale Lily next door. Bird of Paradise felt very homey and comfortable. The bedroom carpets are pretty old and stained but they didn't feel dirty, the bathrooms were very dated. The kitchen is nice, very spacious and had everything we needed, but the Hamilton Beach blender was gutless, so if you're into smoothies... it's a major challenge. We called the office about a few issues which were resolved immediately. This was very impressive. We loved all the space in the entry to drop our bags and shoes. And the storage shelves in the entry were super helpful for organizing everyone. There is an air conditioner in each bedroom and if you put a fan in front of it you can blow the cold air into the main areas. We were there at the end of August and it was very hot. This method was particularly important for the people sleeping in the loft. The back patio was enclosed and there were a lot of beach items like chairs, umbrella, snorkel set, sand toys. We really appreciated these items. This condo was nice because it was on the end of the row and there was an extra window on that wall that let in nice light. The swimming pool is a quick walk down the sidewalk, literally just a few condo’s away. Our parking spot was right in front of our condo. Overall the condo was a bit dated, but still comfortable, especially the living room. The beds were pretty comfortable and the closet organizers were so helpful to make it feel like home. We would drive down to the free parking at Turtle Bay beach to swim and snorkel, and walk around the beautiful hotel lobby, also the restaurants are really nice. The location is close to food trucks and grocery stores in Laie and then the other direction is Sunset Beach, Waimea Bay and Haleiwa town which has great restaurants and shopping. You can’t beat the Turtle Bay location.

The unit was in very good condition. It comfortably slept four golfers (5 beds). All appliances worked OK except for the super loud screeching bathroom fan on the first floor. Fan needs to be replaced ASAP. Perfect location for golfing at the Palmer, Kahuku and Fazio course-100 yards walk to Lei Lei restaurant and the clubhouse. Great food, service & atmosphere at Lei Lei's Bar & Grille. One time $160 cleaning fee is steep for two nights stay- Cheaper to stay 5 nights or longer.

Overall OK. it was not super clean (hair ball in the master shower drain, hair on the bathroom floor). The dryer vent was not connected so it ran into the condo making it very hot.Asking the renters to come to the management company to check in and out is an unnecessary hassle for the customer.

Nice to have a dishwasher and front room air conditioner is nice. Kitchen - only 2 burners worked. Coffee machine did not work. Sure could use better circulation -- loft too hot to sleep, whole downstairs too hot. --> Back sliding screens not functioning, one falls off. Finally found one of 3 that would slide.

As soon as we moved in, the closet door did not work. The bathroom's sink's stopper did not work and could use it until it was repaired.

Overall it was very enjoyable. It was a little annoying being told there were too many people in the swimming pool area (25 max) which meant some people had to vacate the pool. The wifi was very unreliable, and it wasn't 100% clear that the key should have been dropped off at the sugar mill office even on Sundays / Public holidays at check-out. It would be a lot clearer if the instructions specified that there is a safe drop box there for out of office departure times.The condo got very hot, the aircon was only in the rooms (and it was great) but it was difficult to keep the rest of the space cool. The only other slight difficulty was the fact that the condo was very bright and light by 5.30am, so it was tricky to keep our toddler asleep.Overall the condo was clean, well appointed, comfortable, and the location was great. Thanks for having us.

We had a wonderful stay at the clean, comfortable condo. Away from the bustle of Waikiki right ongrounds of golf course. Walking distance to Turtle Bay Hotel, food and beach. Felt very safe with security cruising by yet private enough for relaxing getaway. Close to fabulous Polynesian Cultural Center with the best show and luau food on the island. PCC has new Hukilau Marketplace with different food and really nice shopping choices in the front of PCC with free entry and parking. Fabulous fun on beautiful North Shore. I liked the easy check-in had to check out at Kahuku Sugar Mill office but that was easy too. Will definitely return.

This unit was nice but many little things needed attention. The front screed door could not close, ants coming in the side window, toaster not working, sponge in the kitchen was used, fan in downstairs bedroom could not be adjusted. We love Turtle Bay and know the units are older so we expect some inconveniences.

The outlook is on the first fairway, it is a safe area & very quiet/ peaceful.The rooms were very tidy & spacious.Only downside was can't contact reception after 12.00 SAT or anytime SUN.We highly recommend this property & will stay here in the future.

I like the location and size of the unit for our family of five. I only gave 3 starts for condition of property b/c I think a few things need to be updated from the owners: 1) the curtain was ripped in the living room, 2) I think the bedroom furniture, esp. in the master, could be upgraded and3) the beds and bedding really need to be upgraded the master bed was so hard my mom had to bring a foam top from home (she lives on the island). I really do like this unit and do hope the owners consider making the few upgrades - I plan on renting it again next summer. Mahalo.

I would probably not choose this location again and would not recommend it. The complex was nice, we had a pleasant view. Access to the beach was a little difficult. I thought it was ridiculous that you had to not only pay for a court time for the tennis courts but had to pay a ridiculous rental fee of rackets! The staff in the office were friendly and helpful but the rental home was gross! It was NOT clean at all! Not even vacuumed properly. Hair and sand covered the bathroom sink. The kitchen floor was filthy. Ants were crawling all over the dining table. The loft was INCREDIBLY hot. Very uncomfortable to sleep. The air conditioners in the bedrooms were nice to have. There were spiders (yes plural) crawling all over the master bed. There were used pacifiers left on the book shelf. Mold was growing in the master bath ceiling. The shower was filthy! The whole unit needs a fresh coat of paint! This place was WAY over-priced! I was thoroughly disgusted! I would never stay here again and NEVER recommend it to anyone! I was grateful we only spent two nights here and that we were gone most of the time!

Unfortunately our stay was pretty awful, and ultimately we left. We checked in on a Friday and noticed that the condo was nothing like it appeared on the website. Instead of looking bright, clean and remodeled, it was dirty and run down. We called management right away and they sent a housekeeper over. She really couldn’t do much we don’t blame the housekeeper. She cleaned up all of the dead bugs, pubic hair off the bathroom floor and wiped down the counters. By Saturday morning we realized that it was MUCH more...broken fridge, the dryer vent wasn’t hooked up, my daughter’s bed was broken, the jacuzzi tub didn’t work (not that we would’ve sat in the dirty tub without thoroughly cleaning it), an outlet in the kitchen didn’t work, bugs galore (every kind you could imagine) , the air conditioner didn’t work properly (but how could it with windows that wouldn’t shut?) the master bed was filthy disgusting behind it and it felt like we were sleeping on the box spring. Probably the most alarming thing we saw was the giant rat trap in front of a hole under the sink. The place smelled of mildew too. So, I called a couple of times and left a message once (although they say I didn’t) and sent several emails (I later found out to the wrong email address!). Didn’t hear from anyone and realized we’d have to wait until Monday, when I called. The only thing this company offered was to send someone over, or we could leave and they would refund us for the rest of our days. Nothing for the miserable weekend we spent there...we couldn’t even do our laundry if we wanted to dry it. I will absolutely be writing reviews on every website I can to warn others and finding out what the recourse is for a company that falsely advertises their condo. It’s absolutely shameful.

We spent as much time away from this unit as possible, which is easy to do in the beautiful north shore area. This unit is dated, has no fans in the bathroom, and ants everywhere. For the money we spent we would expect something that wasn't as worn out and bug infested. Place needs a complete re-model.

The grounds were nice and a good location, but this unit was filthy. Spider webs everywhere, all of the drawers in the bedrooms had hair and dirt in them, the floors were not clean, the vacuum was broke (missing the belt), the dishwasher was very stinky, beds were like rocks. After we cleaned up (the best we could with a little handheld vacuum) it was okay, but it was obvious that this unit either had not been used in a long time or was never cleaned. It was very old, but that doesn't mean it could be clean. We stayed another week in Kauai in a unit about the same age, but it was very clean and nice. This was disappointing.

Ants and not clean.
We are a family of 4 from Canada. The condo was dirty. We were switched to this one only one week before arrival. Ants, dirty carpet, food, dust and old toys behind the couch. Dirty tissues behind night stand in master bedroom. You really need to clean these units and upgrade them for what we paid. Uncomfortable stay. One person got and any bite and ended up ER with a swollen leg. Apparently fire ants. We were given ant traps to put out. I would not stay here again.

Perfect location / 4 of us slept on the floor!
I will start by saying that the location and price are excellent for the North Shore. But that is about it for the positives on my review. As expected, it was quite warm for June in Oahu, and the little tiny AC units in the bedrooms barely keep it comfortable in the bedrooms. The Loft is in now way cool enough to sleep at night (it may be in the winter). Therefore, my teenage boys decided to sleep on the floor in their adult sister's room downstairs with the AC. But, my absolute biggest complaint of the condo would be, the bed in the master bedroom upstairs is harder than a rock oh, and I am not picky. We tried to sleep on it the first night, and could barely move the next morning when we woke. So for the rest of our stay we decided to sleep on the floor, which is actually much more cushiony and comfortable then the bed. When I read previous reviews I thought, how bad could it be, the bed is that bad! It feels as though you're sleeping on a double box spring with cement on the top. Therefore we spent our three nights on the NorthShore sleeping on the floor as well. I will preface my review by saying that we had just spent 7 days at an unbelievably beautiful Resort on the island of Kauai, where our room was right on the water and our 3 bedroom condo was only $349 and night. I have never left a negative review on any kind of site in my entire life, but I would recommend that no one stays at this condo until they receive confirmation that the bed in the master bedroom has been replaced or had a memory foam mattress added to it.

We have VRBO many times and I have to say this what the worse place we stayed. Not only was it not clean, but the air conditioner downstairs did not work and it took until Monday to get it fixed. No apology from the management on that. The condo was not only dirty, with dust, cobwebs, dirty silverware, but never ending ants on the counters. The head of housekeeping was supposed to call me, but never did. The only things working well was the ice maker. Windows don't seal tightly so hot air continues to come in. Lanai was tiny. Lots access to internet service the evening before checkout at 11:00 a.m. No grill at condo, just an old brick charcoal at pool. Pool was clean. The whole place including furniture was dated. don't know how old the master bedroom mattress was but hard as a rock. Poor lighting in downstairs bathroom. Very disappointing considering that we thought it would be great since it is located within Turtle Bay. Would love a refund on the two days without air, but not counting on it. Management is only in the office Monday-Friday so good luck getting anything done on the weekends. Never will stay here again. The area around it was lovely especially the beaches.

We are very familiar with what is available in the way of condominiums on the north shore, and this place was good. The location - in Kuilima Estates - is excellent. It's close enough to Kuhuku for food trucks and such, but remote enough to not be far from really secluded beaches. There's nice hiking on the property, and having the golf course right outside the patio gave us a really nice feeling of openness (great when you have kids who like to run around after dinner!). The unit was exactly as described and as it appeared in the photos: Open, bright, and spacious. The beds were comfortable, and communication between us and the office was good and timely. Negatives: They were honest about the ant problem, and it really does exist. I encourage anyone staying here to be sure to thoroughly clean after every meal, because they come quickly! Also, it was a bummer to have to drive 10 minutes into the office for beach towels. They really should do something about that arrangement. Maybe offer to have them there at check in? It was kind of a bummer to walk around and see how much beach equipment many of the other units had, and contrast that with how little was on our porch. However, we left A LOT of stuff (3 boogie boards & a beach umbrella), so maybe that won't be a problem for the next family. Neither of these would be a reason not to stay here again, and we do hope to return to this unit again one of these days. You would do well to pick this place for the price. We slept 6 people and never felt crowded.

This condo was in need of a update , my main complaint is the master bedrooms bed was so hard it felt llike I was sleeping on a box spring mattress .
