Ok, first of all it is expensive but you get exactly what you pay for. The view is outstanding, the unit is well maintained and the most important thing is the the beds are all comfortable! As a 54 year old fellow with back issues this was a most welcomed relief. The location is on the North shore and unless you want to visit the big city congested life of Honolulu and Wakiki, you don’t have to leave. The best snorkeling can be found within walking distance of the villa just on the other side of the resort. The pool and hot tub are very clean and maintained multiple times during the day. Security is awesome. You can let your older kids play outside and have no worries. We allowed our 30 year old and 18 year old to do so! (It’s a joke). You can find cheaper but not better. We are not world travelers but we do rent condos and homes thru vrbo and Airbnb regularly for vacation and business travel, this place was voted the best from the family. You only live once, book the trip and if you are going to Oahu… book this place. Thank you to the staff for an amazing experience at Turtle Bay Villas!
