Malia and Bernie were perfect hosts and very friendly. My wife even spent a day shopping with Malia while I went photographing the surfing... We love staying at Turtle Bay it's our second visit, the first time was staying in Malia's sons own condo last year. The facilities in Turtle Bay are great so eating out and having a drink without having to drive is a bonus. For surfing fans like ourselves the North Shore certainly delivers in the winter months with waves often reaching 30 feet or more. We are already missing the place and cant wait to visit again soon.
