If you are looking for a place on the North Shore this is a great location! It is just outside of Turtle Bay resort. You are not able to use Turtle Bay's pools, but are able to use the beach, trails, eat at their restaurants, etc. Beach House by Roy Yamaguchi was amazing at the Turtle Bay Resort as was Lei Lei's. The golf course is not open but there are several others on the island if golfing is your jam. Kamulia West also has 3 very nice pools and tennis courts. Each pool has charcoal grills also. North Shore Beaches are all a short drive away and there are several food trucks and a FoodLion for groceries. Haleiwa has nice shopping and restaurants also. The Beach House and Banzi Sushi in Haleiwa were a few of our favorites. The house itself was extremely clean. There are 3 air conditioners so it stays nice and cool. Sabrina was great, quick to respond with any questions that you might have. The house was stocked with garbage bags, toilet paper, paper towels, hand soap, dish soap, dishwasher detergent, laundry soap and fabric softener. The kitchen had everything and anything that you would need as far as pots and pans, utensils, salt, peppers and even some spices. The frig has a water pitcher for filtering water also which was nice. Nice living room furniture with some throw pillows and blankets that made it very comfortable. The upstairs is very nice and the photos do not do it justice. It is pretty big, and the bathroom is very nice also. It made it comfortable for our family of 4. The boys each had their own bed and bathroom. The home has a Juliet balcony off of the living area which was nice to open and enjoy the fresh air and view of the golf course. A review we read mentioned the birds. There are a lot of birds chirping but it was nothing that we felt was overly annoying or bothersome. The security guards were also very nice and friendly. Overall a great location (being in gated community was nice and safety was never a concern). The only downside is there is not a porch, but we would certainly stay here again. Our family would highly recommend, Aloha!
