Okay, so pro’s & con’s of this place. I should’ve read the details better because we were under the impression this condo was literally ON the turtle bay property rather than being walking distance from it. I was under the impression that pool access meant we had access to the resort pool rather than the community pool, which obviously makes sense why the price was so great.
Pro’s:
- Great communication w/Priscilla, really sweet and answered any questions I had in a timely manner.
- The condo itself was pretty clean, we found an ant crawling on the bed while my mom was changing my 6 mo old son but maybe it was a one-off?
- Liked that the condo included beach gear
Con’s:
- The AC in the bedroom was VERY loud. Whenever it started, it sounded like rain was literally falling. The first night we were there, I awoke thinking there was a storm— nope, just the AC.
- Mynah birds in the trees: they chirped ALLLLL throughout the night. Such a headache. Windows aren’t that great so you can hear everything.
- The bed: it was super hard, sheets were uncomfy, pillows felt old and flat. As I mentioned, we found an ant crawling on it while my mom was changing him but after the 1st night there, my son awoke to several small spots on the left side of his body. It could be his skin adjusting to new material but also wasn’t sure if it was an ant or mosquito?
Overall, if you’re looking for a deal and not wanting to spend money to stay at the resort, then this isn’t a bad choice— the host has great communication, it’s right on the golf course, and you’re in the heart of north shore— but you get what you pay for in terms of other amenities/features.
