Prime location in Kahuku. Short walking distance to the beach (3 min) and the Turtle Bay Resort (7 min). Fun fact - this was the prime shooting location for Forgetting Sarah Marshall and I actually caught the film on my flight back home - it does a lovely job of really capturing the resort and its vibe. This unit has the most beautiful and serene view of the golf course with direct access to an extensive beachside trail, which we took advantage of every day. My first morning I jogged down to the beach by taking a service road between the golf course and the resort, and saw a rare (1,500 of them left, only in Hawaii) monk seal nurse its two-week old baby, as kindly explained by a local preservationist keeping watch on site. Please do make sure to keep your distance if you have this experience though!
Other than the restaurants on site in Turtle Bay Resort, there is a fabulous cluster of food trucks 5-10 minutes down the road in both directions. Netflix recently featured two of the food trucks in this area - Ry's Poke Shack and Da Bald Guy. Ry's was great (did not get to try Da Bald) as is the Taro truck and the Maly's Vietnamese Kitchen in the same area. Highly recommend, but most trucks close by 4 or 6pm so go early! Another cannot miss place is Ted's Bakery, 10 minutes away, where you can get THE BEST malasadas and pies in the entire state.
Aside from the location, the property itself is fine. Photos are accurate - it's not luxuriously furnished, with older furniture and fixtures, and older, loud window AC units. Please be aware that this rental property company was very stringent about signing paperwork and paying the extra fees and while not surprising (They make this clear in the info), it felt a bit stressful because the message for some odd reason "expired" after a few days, but the local property manager Casey was extremely accommodating and gracious.
