Kuilima Estates Condo - Hawaiian Décor, Pool, BBQ
About this condo rental
Turtle Bay Sea Shells
Ground Floor Unit. (Stairs from parking lot and down into unit.) Really cute unit with Hawaiian décor 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.

Great location for sightseeing
We chose this because of its central location to Waimea valley, Haleiwa, Polynesian Cultural Center, and Kuloa Ranch as well as the very close proximity to Turtle Bay resort. There is an awesome food cart pod two miles East as well but don’t rely on that for dinner in winter. Parking and condo entry was convenient and this unit is very close to a small unheated pool. It’s on the ground floor which makes it easy to pop over to the pool however that also means the next door neighbors can sprawl out on their side of the patio thus reducing your privacy. The kitchen is well stocked as far as dishes and cookware however there is nothing else except a salt & pepper shaker (and the salt was empty so we bought some). We’ve rented lots of units through VRBO, AirBnB and Vacasa over the years and have always had some random odds & ends left from previous renters. Heck the place we are renting in Makaha right now has all tons of stuff so we don’t have to go buy a bottle of mustard that we will use once. Anyway, that’s just a heads up for your grocery shopping plans. The bed here was deliciously comfortable and having his/hers bathrooms was a luxury. We loved all the artwork in the unit and we chuckled to ourselves that all the Buzz’s Steakhouse posters seduced us into eating there when we visited Kailua beach. One complaint that we had is that we weren’t warned ahead of our reservation that exterminators would be entering our unit and spraying. We weren’t told until our second evening that spraying would happen the next day. There is no such thing as safe bug poison and spraying should happen only when the unit is unoccupied.

Great Stay at Turtle Bay Condo #W-197
My wife and I stayed at Condo Unit #W197. Here's our ratings: Overall - 5. We were very satisfied with our stay. Property's Condition - 4. Although the unit was older, it was in great condition. It was very clean, the amenities were good. The only issue was that we did not know how to operate the tv with the remote. They should have left some operating instructions in the room. Location - 5. It was a great location. The parking was convenient. We had a choice of 2 swimming pools that were close by. Property Management - 5. We had no problems with the management. They were very helpful and friendly. Would Recommend? - 5. Yes, we were totally satisfied with our experience and would highly recommend this unit.

A nice condo ,but the view....
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

estates at turtle bay
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.

Turtle Bay
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.

North Shore Paradise
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.

Good location with potential but sheets and towels need attentio
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.

Great Path At Turtle Bay
My husband and I stayed for two nights at 197 West. Turtle Bay is a good location, but it is necessary to drive North or South if you are interested in restaurants not affiliated with the hotel. Our condo was quiet, clean, well stocked and the bed was very comfortable! The resort is about a 10 minute walk from the condo. Spent a relaxing day at the Turtle Bay beach. Snorkeled in the morning and saw a few different types of fish. We walked along the beach and saw two monk seals...very cool. We also found a great bike path that we wish we would have had more time to explore. Great experience.

Relaxing on the North Shore
My husband, infant of 4 months, and I, stayed at unit 197 west on March 18-22. The condo was in great condition and it was very clean. We only had a few ants, which I am learning are everywhere we stay so I am not so upset about that at all. The only thing was that when we arrived there was some confusion as to where to get the key but it all worked out in the end. The beach at Turtle Bay was nice and we enjoyed a few afternoons there, then we would catch the sunset at Sunset Beach, it truly was a religious experience and I am not religious. Our condo was in a great location and the price was right, although we did miss the ocean we could still hear it off in the distance.

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.

Excellent value
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.

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

Affordable Turtle Bay Condo
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.

A good deal on the North Shore
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.
