Traveling as a family of 4 with 2 littles:
Helena’s place has everything you need for a comfortable stay. You’re basically on the golf course of Turtle Bay Resort. The actual resort is very nice since their remodel. Things that might not be mentioned on her descriptions that we found in the unit: a pack n play, all the beach equipment (2 chairs, umbrella, even a nice cooler, beach toys). It’s about a 15-20 min drive to all the North Shore hot spots (Haleiwa, Waimea, food trucks). You can walk to the beach (that’s at Turtle Bay Resort) but it’s a good 15 min walk. You can park closer to the beach in the beach access lot which is what we did. There’s a cute little restaurant/snack shop on the green called Lei Lei’s that opens at 7 am for breakfast eats that’s really close to the unit (about 2-4 min walk). They even serve lunch and dinner there as well. There are two other restaurants accessible at the resort. Helena’s unit is probably the nicest, cleanest and most updated one of these townhomes that are a bit older (I’d guess they were built in the 70-80’s?). Grounds are very clean and well maintained.
