We loved our stay at this villa. It was very roomy for our family of seven, the beds were comfortable (which is not always the case with rentals!), and the kitchen was well-stocked with basic items which helped as we ate some of our meals in instead of going out. The beach locker was so helpful and a huge bonus for us as it saved us from having to buy or rent snorkeling gear, boogie boards, an umbrella and beach chairs. One thing I didn't notice when I booked (but was explained nicely by the host when I emailed prior to our stay - and it is stated in the description, I just didn't notice) is that the Turtle Bay resort pools are not available if you rent this villa. There is a small pool and hot tub for villa guests. At first I was concerned about this, worried that small pool would be crowded, but it ended up being perfect. I mention this just in case someone else is concerned about not having access to the larger Turtle Bay pool(s). My kids (teens, tweens and a 10-year old) spent a lot of time in the small, circle pool for villa guests and loved it. It never felt crowded the week we were there. We walked around the turtle bay resort a couple times and the larger resort pool was always swamped with people - I was actually glad we didn't need to use it! The proximity of this villa to other beaches, food, and attractions on the north shore was perfect. We had never traveled to Oahu before, and we thought the location was perfect - we could head into Laie or go the other direction to shark's cove or Haleiwa. Also, the rental was extremely clean and well-kept. All in all, it was a fantastic place and met or exceeded all of our expectations!
