Ceci’s place is perfect.
The location is the best on the North Shore. A parking spot is right outside the unit and you can go either way down the road for necessities. A Foodland grocery store is about 7 min drive to the left, in beautiful Laie, or about 13 min to the right in Haleiwa. The one in Laie is much nicer though. Beaches are everywhere nearby but you can also use the Turtle Bay beach. About a 7 minute walk from the condo but you can also drive and park for free.
Ceci’s responses always came within minutes. She provided information for us about amenities and services. In the unit were many extras, dish soap, swifers, laundry detergent, beach towels, varied sizes of shower towels, 2 televisions (one in the bedroom), kleenex around, tons of books to read, a detailed area binder, kids beach toys and beach umbrella, etc...
We loved the modern kitchen. It was very well equipped. Had a ton of dishes, several varieties of glasses and cups, many sets of cutlery and modern appliances. Pretty sure they were all brand new and top quality stainless. Bar/breakfast nook or eat on the lanai. Lanai is screened in but we found no bugs in Hawaii anyway.
Never needed a/c because with the windows the winds flow through. The bedroom fan is very powerful and would take care of any extra heat. Tv in bedroom is large and has Netflix.
Bed is comfortable as are pillows.
Living area next to kitchen also has a tv along with reading books.
This unit it on the 2nd floor of a townhouse type complex. You are next door to a unit on each side. The unit is two stories as it has a loft type master bedroom up the stairs. The stairs were a bit steep so you need to be careful. The main floor also has a pull out couch which you could probably use if you wanted to avoid the stairs.
All ammenities at Turtle Bay appear to be available to the public, so although these condos are not affiliated with TB Resort, you can go down to the beach bar, Roy’s, which usually closes around 10/10:30. Snorkeling outside of Roy’s, at that beach, is mostly dead reef but there are some domesticated fish there. Some large ones even. We found The Point bar on the other side of the resort to be much more expensive for drinks.
Go into the Pupukea food trucks, best one Ali Luna. Romy’s Shrimp Truck is the only shrimp truck right on the farming site and the bartender at Roy’s swears it’s the best. We did Giovannis and were not impressed. Romy’s is 5 min drive from condo.
Condo was sparkling clean. Decor was nice. Bathroom was dated but everything works fine and Ceci leaves lots of extras in there too for your use.
We truly felt at home here and will absolutely be returning and recommending. Mahalo Ceci!
