  Comments: Charming little getaway! Mahalo for your hospitality.

• Reviewer: Kimberly

  Comments: The last days of my Hawaii trip I stayed in Kailua. I was hoping to stay in the North Shore area but when I contacted Jason he gave me a deal and let me stay at the Kailua listing instead. Jason and his wife are so very friendly and accommodating! During my stay I was switching rooms and I said I would be back by a certain time in order to do so but the beach got me and I was a little late. They called to check on me to make sure that I was ok. It was raining and I was traveling by myself so their concern was really touching! Both rooms were great! Very clean with fresh towels and clean sheets :) I really liked the private room with its own entry because it opened right up to the pool! Next Hawaii trip I will def being staying with Jason and Wife again! (hopefully I will get to meet the little one by then! Congrats by the way!)

  Comments: Jason was super responsive, very much appreciate how easy he was to communicate with. The room was much larger than a hotel room, easy to find, easy to park, and very clean. The only draw back was the room was a little hot being on the second floor, but there was good airflow. Awesome spot, not to far from Haleiwa, and all the north shore beaches were within easy reach. Thanks very much!

  Comments: Excellent place and location, all very comfortable. Very close to the beaches of the north coast and the commercial center of Haleiwa. if you have no desire to manage at a distance of 2 minutes walked this Turtle Bay. If you got no desire to leave the resort's pool, BBQ and tennis courts. As a recommendation only a slightly larger fridge and a heater for cooking with pots and pans would be necessary. Excellent all highly recommended.

• Reviewer: Jessica

  Comments: Great location! My friends got married at turtle bay resort and this was only a couple minute walk from there. Very safe and clean. Jason was a great host and had great communication! Thank you!

• Reviewer: Yingnan

  Comments: The place was great. I guess it's part of a golf resort. The room is nice and cozy, equipped with everything you need for a short trip. Walking distance to Turtle Bay hotels and the beach. I didn't meet Jason in person, but the communication was flawless. He's just a text message away, answered all my questions. Staying here was just as easy as in a hotel.

• Reviewer: Nancy C

  Comments: Great location for a reasonable price, clean, and cozy. Loved the fact that it was within walking distance of the resort grounds. Would say that it's a perfect fit for two people, like many of the other reviewers didn't get to meet Jason in person but communicated through text for details which was convenient.

• Reviewer: Birte & Henning

  Comments: The location of the studio is great to explore the North Shore. The Turtle Bay resort with restaurants and beaches is just a short walk away. The studio is the size of a typical hotel room, so be aware, there's no real kitchen area/sink, even though a small fridge and oven-coffeemaker combo with a few dishes are provided. Jason responded to all our questions very quickly via text. Unfortunately during our 2 night stay, the Wlan did not work and there was no hot water in the shower.

• Reviewer: Mary

  Comments: Jason was very quick to respond to every communication that I sent to him, often within minutes. His studio was very clean and nicely decorated. The location was great and within walking distance to Turtle Bay Resort where I was taking a class. The bed was very comfortable. If you have to have an air conditioner to keep cool, you should know that this unit does not have one. There is a ceiling fan and a box fan, but I found it a little bit challenging to sleep without air since I'm used to temperatures much cooler. Otherwise, a great place to stay on the north shore.

• Reviewer: Tsiang

  Comments: On the day of my arrival, Jason[host] & I both discovered that the North Shore Turtle bay studio had been double booked. Jason promptly offered me an alternative accommodation in Kailua. Jason was very responsive and friendly. He followed up with me to make sure I checked in ok and to see if I had any request/needs. The Kailua studio was clean and cozy. There were 2 big windows in the room thus allowing a nice breeze to flow through the studio. The location of the studio is in a quiet residential neighborhood and only a few minutes drive to restaurants and beaches.

• Reviewer: Grace

  Comments: Lovely room in an ideal location, I felt as though I was staying at turtle bay without the $400 a night price tag. Highly recommend to anyone who wishes to see the beautiful north shore ( way better than Waikiki ) thanks!

• Reviewer: Helene

  Comments: Our stay at Jason's place was ok. When making the booking I told him we would need to use the roll in bed but when we got there, there were no sheets for the bed. I rang him and he told me he was going to bring us some which he never did. I can understand that there were no sheet for the bed but did not appreciate that Jason told us he was going to bring us some and never did. For the rest, place was clean, very near turtle resort and all the yummy food trucks with shrimp from the north shore. It is ok for a night stop over but there is much more charming place around.

• Reviewer: Amber

  Comments: A friend and I stayed a this location and had a very good time exploring the North Shore. As mentioned in the description, the best part of the studio is the location, not the studio itself. It is bear-bones but totally adequate, albeit slightly less polished than in the photos. The mini fridge, coffee maker/oven came in very handy during our stay. It was very hot indeed but you're in Hawaii, it's supposed to be hot! If you're looking for a hotel-like stay, this isn't the place for you; but if you want a place to sleep in a convenient location, it's great. We did come across one cockroach during our stay but I understand that is very common on the island and the place was clean so I don't think it was due to poor upkeep. There are some boogie boards on the balcony which you can borrow, thought that was quite nice. The water in the shower doesn't always get hot but honestly, in that weather a cold shower is great! If you rent a car, there is parking available. We will definitely do that next time but if you do choose to bus it, there is a stop right outside. Jason's communication style is "as little as possible, as much as necessary" which is totally fine as long as you're not looking for someone to give you a warm welcome and make a personal connection with (we weren't).

• Reviewer: Danielle

  Comments: Jason responded to our questions within a few hours although some amenities were not as expected (fridge is VERY small, no utensil, knives, bottle opener, etc) or available as advertised (wall AC unit and extra fan not available, no key for the pool). The location is great, just a short walk to beautiful turtle bay but you won't want to plan on spending much time at the unit. Airflow is minimal making the unit very hot when combined with the natural humidity of Hawaii. The linens were approximately hospital level quality, rough to the touch and towels were tiny, one each for 6 days. I would definitely make room in your suitcase to bring some from home as well as full size bed sheets. The price of this unit is hard to beat, especially for Hawaii, but understand that you get what you pay for.

• Reviewer: Connie

  Comments: Best value in Turtle Bay! It was everything I needed. Loved walking the beautiful grounds of Turtle Bay. My only complaint was no AC - but it clearly states that - I just didn't realize how humid and hot it can be there (it was August)- there's a ceiling fan and another fan available for use. Jason was easy to work with!

• Reviewer: Krystian

  Comments: Jason was prompt in his responses and provided all the arrival information in good detail. Most of the time we were out of property. Great sleep with North Shore breeze. Do not miss the dusk walk by the Turtle Bay Resort beach. It was very easy to contact Jason with our requests. Aloha!

• Reviewer: Jennifer

  Comments: Jason was prompt in response to text messages and phone calls but slow with email. The studio was great for our short stay, just one night. If you're looking for just a place to sleep without a lot of amenities in a convenient location, then this is the place for you.

• Reviewer: Robert

  Comments: A very neat and comfortable condo with a great location if you want to explore the North shore. The host was very polite and it was very easy to communicate. Overall, a great price and highly recommended.

  Comments: Passamos dias maravilhosos aqui no north shore. O quarto era confortavel, o condomínio lindo e as praias paradisíacas. Quando voltarmos ao hawaii, com certeza ficaremos aqui.

• Reviewer: Rob

  Comments: Everything went smoothly. Jason responded promptly to any questions I had.

• Reviewer: Robert And April

  Comments: Turtle bay great location. Nice to be by bike rentals and ocean and hotel. Room not so good. Super dirty and dusty. Bathroom shower was dirty. Pictures are better than the place. Parking pass not easy. Value not good. Pd $150 a night with all the fees the $89 is not accurate. Bed uncomfortable. Lots of potential for the room but no attention to detail.

• Reviewer: Lilly

  Comments: We had a wonderful stay at Turtle Bay. The studio was in a great location. The beaches are amazing , and sunsets gorgeous. We did so many activities- golf, snorkeling , yummy food trucks , watching the surfing and experienced Oahu North Shore to the fullest. The studio has basic linens and few kitchen amenities. We had 1 beach towel , 1 roll of toilet paper, no pool key and the wifi didn’t work. You will need to remind the host and he did provide ; however it was on our last night . We would love to come back to Turtle Bay and certainly the condos are a great value compared to the hotel.

• Reviewer: Robert

  Comments: Everything was as described and we had a wonderful time. Clear, timely communication when we needed it. Clean, convenient and friendly location as well. Thanks for a wonderful stay-cation!

• Reviewer: Sonya

  Comments: He answered all of my calls, or returned them within a day. Although the promise for a pool key never materialized a key for us, the nice neighbors let us in.

• Reviewer: Lisa

  Comments: This place is simple but provided exactly what we needed, and it's in a great location to explore the North Shore. Our only complaint is that while Jason promised to drop by a fob to give us access to parking (the instructions about the code to access parking are outdated), he never appeared. That was a minor inconvenience though, and we had a great time.

• Reviewer: Irene

  Comments: Great location. Beautiful scenery. Studio is in a quiet block of houses. Pool beautiful. Would be helpful to leave some details of the facilities in the resort and nearby towns (restaurants, tourist hotspots etc) for guests. Also, we didn't realise we needed a parking pass from security until they left a notice on our car - it would be helpful to provide this pass (or information that it was required and how to get it) to guests. Jason was extremely helpful when we phoned him to get into the premises after having initially received the incorrect code for the gate. Overall, a very nice spot. Thanks Jason!

• Reviewer: Cameron

  Comments: This is a great place and location for the price. The bed had a super comfortable topper on it and we slept great for all the nights we stayed. The room is a decent size for two people. There were beach towels and bath towels provided along with snorkeling gear, chairs, and an umbrella. The only thing that we had to provide ourselves was shampoo, conditioner and body wash. We kind of assumed that it would be provided, but the store wasn't too far and we got some that night. The only complaint that we have is that a key fob wasn't provided for us; therefore, it made it difficult to get through the main gate to the complex and to the pool. Every time we got to the gate we had to call the owner to let us in and that only worked about half the time the other half we had to wait for someone to pull behind us and ask to use their key. We also had to ask to borrow someone else's key fob to get into the pool. Or hope that someone was in the pool that would let us in. However, we only went to the pool a couple of times. Overall, a great place to stay. We would stay there again if a key fob was provided.

• Reviewer: Stephanie

  Comments: Jason was easy to communicate with over text. The listing was great for the most part. The best part about it was the location and all the amenities that were provided in terms of access to the beach and hotel. The unit also provided a mini fridge, hotplate, and some very basic kitchen stuff, which was handy. There were several aspects of the listings that needed maintenance, such as one of the fans that were broken, which was unfortunate due to the heat and humidity.

• Reviewer: Maggie

  Comments: The Turtle Bay area is a great location, and made it easy for my husband and me to explore the north shore and windward sides alike. The room was as described. Simple, no frills, though the sheets were very soft. The nearby pool was great for first and last dips of the day. The nearby resort was great for watching surfers at sunset. Jason was timely and very responsive to text messages when: 1) we had a little trouble getting through the gate upon arrival, 2) the wifi went out temporarily.

• Reviewer: Suzen

  Comments: Jason is great.

• Reviewer: Haller

  Comments: We had mixed reviews of our stay here. The room was nice and the location was great but communication about arrival and parking situation was frustrating. There is only one dedicated space for the condo that is split into 2 units. The manager of the complex doesn't allow guest parking without a permit. Communication with Jason was difficult although he was prompt.

• Reviewer: Maripaz

  Comments: This was a great place, close to the resort and had all the things we needed. Comfy bed. Jason was very helpful.

• Reviewer: T

  Comments: Price was reasonable for the area. What made me choose this over other listings was the advertised 2 beds. Upon arrival and noticing only one however, the host made arrangements to bring in a fold- out bed for a single person. Even though the effort was there, the bed was dirty and not fit for use. Having to park at the turtle bay resort every night when 10+ guest parking spaces were available in the current complex was our biggest struggle along with a weak/almost non-existent wifi signal made this stay a challenge.

• Reviewer: Ty

  Comments: Great location, lovely space.

• Reviewer: Jacob

  Comments: Nice spot love turtle bay, short walk to the beach easy to relax and enjoy paradise. Room was nice, cozy had boogie boards and fins which saved us money. Overall it was great, A/C would be nice got muggy in the evening and the one standup fan was broken. But the ceiling fan worked good. Thx

• Reviewer: Fredirish

  Comments: I reserved the studio unit for a staycation a few days prior on short notice. Jason accomodated myself and fiancee most immediately. Jason communicated promptly and timely, via BnB messaging and/or texting. The studio and next door loft was available consecutively, fufilling our weekend. Both units had full amenities, user friendly, very clean, and best location at turtle bay. Avid saltwater fishermen will love the shoreline bait casting at the resort, Lei Lei's restaurant mud pie quenched my taste buds, and kahuku shrimp shacks were in no shortage. We wanted to live a kamaaina country weekend away from urban Honolulu's hustle. Thanks Much

• Reviewer: Joleen

  Comments: Great location!

• Reviewer: Gregory

  Comments: Accommodations were okay but parking was an issue. Also get instructions on how to get through gate and into unit before arriving.

• Reviewer: Melissa

  Comments: Excellent location! Close to everything on the North Shore.

• Reviewer: Daniel

  Comments: Jason was a great host. prompt responses and great place at a good price. highly recommend.

• Reviewer: Joel

  Comments: Jason is quick to respond and very helpful. He is very generous and made sure the stay was good. They had work going on in the condo next door but I was informed before my trip and we sorted something out so it wasn’t too bothersome. I met Jason and his wife and they were lovely people. The place is a bed and a bathroom. It was clean and neat and all you really need. There is a coffee maker but bring your own coffee. There is a mini fridge to keep a six pack cold. The on site pool is great. I had friends staying at the resort for a wedding and the location couldn’t be better for that while saving some $$$

• Reviewer: Rodolfo

  Comments: Excelente localização, cama confortável, boa comunicação. Foi melhor do que esperávamos.

• Reviewer: Susan

  Comments: Very comfortable, spacious and clean and close proximity to the resort. Highly recommend renting a car as it is hard to get around and see different places. There is a bus but only runs every 40 minutes.

• Reviewer: Justin

  Comments: Nice little studio. 8 min walk to the hotel.

• Reviewer: Jasmine

  Comments: Great place to stay! Clean, quiet and get like home. Jason was very quick with responding back to any questions we had! Definitely recommend for any and everyone.

  Comments: We just needed a place to sleep and Jason's studio provided us with a clean and comfortable space!! Mahalo!!

• Reviewer: William

  Comments: great little spot. easy place for a couple to enjoy turtle bay

• Reviewer: Susan

  Comments: Jason was a great host. He made a special trip out to the condo to deliver a hairdryer for me. The room was nice, clean and had a great window for capturing the breeze. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom clean and spacious. We would stay again.

• Reviewer: Kelly

  Comments: Very quick responses and a nice cool room to sleep in on a hot night! Decent place to stay and good price on the Northshore! You need a car permit from security if parking there overnight. Also there is snorkeling gear to borrow!

• Reviewer: Mark

  Comments: The studio itself was very clean on arrival and the bathroom is newly renovated. The fact it comes with snorkel, mask and flippers for usage is great. Bodyboards available as well. The studio isn't large, about 25 square meters (270 sq. ft), but it is cosy. Like a nice hotel room, as mentioned in the description. However, the US$100 cleaning fee (more than the nightly cost of the room) seems quite excessive, given the size. The studio is in a set of villas behind the Turtle Bay Resort. It is a nice location, walkable distance to the beach. We saw 4 turtles in the eponymous Turtle Bay. It is an easy drive to other parts of north shore, like Shark's Cove and Ted's Bakery. If your budget can stretch to it, dinner at Roy's Beach House (part of The Turtle Bay Resort) was delicious. Unfortunately, on arrival, the wifi wasn't working when we arrived and didn't work at all for our stay. As international guests, wifi is essential for us - we didn't have any other way to communicate. The TV wasn't working either, but hopefully this is something that Jason can quickly fix. As hinted at in the description, parking is not available close to the villa. It is in the resort's public car park about 650m (1/3 mile) walk away. There is meant to be a key fob in the unit after check in, so you can still get through the villa gates at your own leisure, but this was missing for us.

  Comments: Jason’s studio was perfect for my wife and I during our last trip to Hawaii. The Studio was nice and had a nice bathroom , comfortable bed and even had a mini fridge and microwave. The fans helped keep the room cool and comfortable. Check in process was simple and quick.

• Reviewer: Vera

  Comments: The condo is in a great location to explore the North Shore of Oahu which has a lot to offer. It is small but clean and has everything you need.

• Reviewer: Ashleigh

  Comments: Great location and perfect if you need a comfortable bed and clean bathroom. It’s small in the sense it’s just a bedroom + bathroom, but that was all we needed! Bed is comfortable, and bathroom clean with a nice shower. The location is an easy stroll to the Turtle Bay resort where there’s a beach and bars/restaurants. Having a car is recommended so you aren’t limited to the resort itself (clarify the parking situation for this Airbnb). It’s just a short drive (10-15 min) to shrimp trucks, more beaches and the old town of the Haleiwa and of course turtle beach! We also drove south east for the pillbox hike. Overall we were pleased with our stay.

• Reviewer: Sarah

  Comments: Quick and courteous responses to my concerns. The pool is nice. Just a quick walk to Turtle Bay Resort and it’s amenities. Overall a pleasant experience.
