Turtle Bay Sea Shells by RedAwning
About this condo rental
Ground Floor Unit. (Stairs from parking lot and down into unit.) Really cute unit with Hawaiian dcor and tasteful artwork. Window Air Conditioning in both bedroom and living room keeps the unit cool and comfortable. Lanai with 2 chairs & BBQ grill across from pool. Comfortable California king bed. 42" flat-screen TV. Free WIFI. Remodeled bathroom with tiled shower and fully equipped, modern kitchen. 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. TAX ID: TA-154-567-0656-01

I really enjoyed my stay with my daughter (I notified the property manager that she would be joining me). Everything was great but I felt the air conditioning units could be updated to be more quiet.

I wrote this as an overall 1, not because of the unit, which was excellent but the despicable lack of service by the booking agent Red Awning. The code to the access the unit never came through by email. I got the code for the gate and assumed that must do both, which it didn't. They made it almost impossible to contact human to get Help. I was directed to chats where nobody replied, the web site which provided no details of the code when I signed in, then they gave a number to call, so I had to go through the call menu twice to get back there to write it down. This number supposedly contacted a person but in fact just rang out, three times. Then I found an email with another number. This gave me an office closed recording, after again having to call in twice to write it down, it was 4- o'clock in the afternoon! It did then give an out-of-office number to call, which they read once quickly, so had to dial in again to write it down. this time we got a person who was very skeptical that we didn't get the email with the code but eventually let us have the code to get in the unit!

We overall enjoyed our stay here. But the location was misrepresented on the map of the Turtle Beach resort area, on the VRBO site. I chose it over other condos nearby because it appeared to be the closest to the resort and the beach, but it wasn't at the indicated location. Nonetheless, we had a pleasant and comfortable stay there. The ground floor location was handy for carrying luggage in and out. The bed was comfortable, and it was useful having two bathrooms. We did have some difficulties getting the check in information and communicating with the owner-there seem to be several layers of administration at these units. Also, soon after arriving the washing machine malfunctioned and since it was the weekend, we couldn't access anyone to sort it out very quickly. But it was eventually resolved. We enjoyed the nearby outdoor pool, and sitting out on the little patio outside the living room. The airconditioning was good in the bedroom, but we had to leave it on constantly in the living room in order for it to be comfortable. It's a handy location for exploring the north shore, and a good alternative to the exorbitantly priced for Turtle Beach resort. Additionally, we were able to enjoy some of the facilities at the resort, such as bike rental, trails and excellent restaurants. I would recommend this place for convenience and comfort.

The condo was very nice and well stocked with everything we needed. The only thing I wasn't prepared for was the 15-20 minute walk to the beach. Everything else was great and we enjoyed our stay. Very convenient to everything on the North Shore. I would definitely stay there again.

197 is a nice unit, fairly clean, but outdated fixtures. ( ie old faucets, tubs etc.) Great place to stay if you are out for the day, but the view from the patio is of garbage dumpsters. They stage them on the access road behind the condo, the truck picks them up around 6:30 a.m., then they redistribiute the dumpsters throughout, with the tractor. The next day is the recycles, then the compostable dumpsters, each day, there was activity. This is why the price of the condo is what it is. Not disatisfied, but would have paid up to be on the golf course

Very Nice
Clean and well kept. Was nice to have all the amenities of a house while on vacation for over a week.

cleaning fees were too high. $90? It would take 1/2 hour to clean the unit and I doubt you pay your cleaning staff $180 an hour. A few ants, but I geuss that is to be expected. Please fix the locks on the front door. There should be a working deadbolt and handle lock, as is standard on every home. Travelers have alot of expensive things and I found myself being quite nervous when I was away from the condo. A little safe to put valuables in would be helpful. I will likely not stay in the condo complex again. 2 nights ended up costing almost 500 dollars. I could have spent a little more and stayed at turtle bay. Or 1300 for week long all inclusive package including flight at a 5 star on wakiki.

Great place
Great location on the north shore area. Unit was very nice. Clean and well kept. Would recommend to others for sure. My only gripe is the Paul Blart security guy needs to calm down. Scolded my wife for using her e-cigarette. Another person for using the gate incorrectly and also some kids for being too loud in the pool at 5pm. I get that you need rules but he was an abusive bully in all three instances.

Great stay at Turtle Bay Condos. We Loved Lei Lei's for local food as service, quality and price of food and wait staff were a far supperior value of that in the "hotel".The off location site of the management office was a bit of a hassle, but everything worked oout well. We will klnow better now. Thanks so much!Very funny to watch siding repair on another unit. What should have been a day and a half job turned into a week plus of work! Must have been a union job. Hate to pay that bill!We had so much fun, so much to do, and loved being being away from the "big City." Thanks for a great stay!

Pretty Good
I have stayed at the Turtle Bay condos many times, and this unit was not my favorite.
Pros: 1) it’s a Less expensive unit on this property. 2) I love the location of staying at the turtle Bay condos. 3) It’s clean. 4) The king bed was VERY comfortable.
Cons: 1) This unit does not sit on the golf course, so no great views. 2) There is no AC in the living room, and air flow in this unit is not strong. If someone stays on the pull out couch they will want AC!! 3) This is a bottom floor unit and you can clearly hear loud walking and doors open/close upstairs. 4). The property management company works banker hours so our WiFi was never working and finding/entering our unit was VERY frustrating - and there’s no one to ask for help. And the app they try to push you to is DUMB and never worked. 5) The parking stall was a bit far which became tiresome with luggage and daily hauling beach gear n such.
There are many other units I’ve enjoyed better; I would not recommend this one.

Home away from home
I have stayed here so much it feels like home away from home. I'll always stay here.

I never stay anywhere but at the Estates at Turtle Bay & that has been about 10 times in the last 6 years. Originally born & raised on Oahu I can honestly say whether you are a visitor or local wanting to get away for a few nights, the Estates offer a very nice, quiet, relaxing paradise. The units are well furnished with linens, dishware and TV's/internet. This particular unit was a big hit with me. It provided everything I needed including a rice cooker and with 2 bathrooms you can't go wrong. A beautiful side of the island with the best beaches as far as I am concerned and if you have any concerns the off site management are always willing to help.

Our stay at Turtle Bay Condo
It was pretty clean, I guess they can't really help the cockroaches that were around in our bedroom. Everything worked good, maybe another AC unit in the living room would help the humidity, one in the. Edroom was not enough. The fans they have in the living room just blew hot air. Good thing we barely stayed in the condo. The security guys are another story. They really seemed bored especially when they follow you from the time you drive in the gate to your parking spot. Overall I needed somewhere close to my family to stay, this was great and cheap compared to other places.

I wish that the property description had honestly said that the property had parking lot on both sides (no view). Upstairs neighbors did laundry at 1am as well. Furniture needs fixing and sheets should be replaced as there was obvious blood stains on them.

Location was perfect for launching day trips around the island. It was in a quiet location which made it nice to relax. The condo was well stocked but the sheets and towels were stained and dirty looking. We needed to clean them before we felt we could use them.

Hawaiian Staycation
My ohana enjoyed a quiet and relaxing getaway from the real world. The unit was perfect and had everything we needed to cook, go to the beach and pool. My one improvement area is that the sheets and pillowcases had blood stains on them. I would suggest that the owner replace these items as soon as possible.
5.0
My wife and I spent 2 weeks here and found the unit clean, well appointed and bug free. The rental staff was friendly and helpful in every way. The property is very close to great beachs, shopping and inexpensive golf at the Kahuku golf course. All in all a wonderful place to stay and would recommend it for anyone.

Negative aspect of our stay was some partying folksin the condo above us, who were very loud and produceda lot of noise in the night, even after security personnel spoke with them at least two times.

Our condo was great and was really more than we could have expected. After staying here we got a hotel on Waikiki and kept reminiscing about how much we enjoyed the location and amenities of this condo. I will definitely tell friends and family about this place.

Our condo was not fancy, but it was clean and comfortable and a great location on the North Shore, only a five minute walk to the beach and much more mellow than other parts of the North Shore during surf season.
3.0
Overall was good. Bit of an ant problem in the condo, but there was spray available under the sink. Cookware should be updated, old and very scratched. Would stay there again.
