(5 out of 5)
Garden Aloha 50 East is a beautiful recently remodeled condo located on the golf course in Turtle Bay on Oahu's beautiful North Shore. Our family loved the location, and the amenities this condo had to offer. We were pleasantly suprised to find an ice chest, rice mats, boogie boards and beach towels available for our use. The locals were warm and friendly, more than willing to tell us the best places to go for snorkeling, swimming and boogie boarding. Our family would recommend Aoki's Shaved Ice, Kui Ana for sandwitches and burgers, and Ted's Bakery. Thank you Hawaiian Beach Rentals!
the unit we rented was very hot.When we did the laundry the dryer vent goes right to the loft bedroom.The kids had a hard time sleeping it was so hot in there.there is no blind on the window in the loft so the sun hits on you bright and early!We loved the decor. The master bedroom bed is very comfy. We incounted alot of little pests inside. Mark was very kind he called us at the airport to let us know how to get into the unit.The unit was well taken care of with nice furniture and we felt at home with a tv in every room. I would recommend this unit but would worn it is very HOT with only a little cooler in two of the bedrooms.
We loved every aspect of the condo, it was clean;quiet;well stocked with sheets, towels etc. and was only a short walk to the resort and a short drive to several beaches near by.
We all fell in love with Ted's Bakery - wow! I think we went there at least 5 times! Our favorite snorkeling spot was Waimai Bay, we saw beautiful fish, coral and swam with the turtles.
I would definately recommend staying at this particular condo and can't wait till we return!!!
Overall this was a really nice condo. It had great upgrades and was in a great location. We stayed here with 4 adults and 2 kids. We loved the Turtle Bay resort beach since it had umbrellas you can sit under (you have to get there early to get one) the snorkling was great there too. The 2 downfalls were first off the hot water for the showers. Booking the condo for 6 people you would think that there would be enough hot water for everyone. We could get 2 - 10 minute showers in and the other 4 got cold showers. The water heater is a 3 gallon tank. The other thing was that the upstairs tv didn't work. It was nobody's fault. Mike came by to look at it & couldn't get it working. He said it was a new tv & had to call for the warranty. That wasn't that big of a deal since he had no control. My only suggestion would be to get a bigger water heater. Overall we had an awesome time!!
I traveled with 5 other family members and there was enough space for us all. We all enjoyed the 3 televisions. The tennis courts were always open and we played daily. The heated pool was great. We would definitely stay here again.
This condominium was absolutely wonderful. We stayed during the month of January, therefore we do not have much experience with the air conditioner, but we did make use of the fan. The layout of the unit was perfect for our needs: two couples and a baby. The couple with the baby took the upstairs suite -- wonderful sleeping (kingsize bed) and bathroom accomodations. The other couple took the downstairs bedroom -- we actually would have enjoyed a kingsize bed, but the queen was certainly adequate. The common areas (kitchen and living room) were very well supplied and comfortable. We watched our own dvd of "Planet Earth" on the wonderful large screen TV. The exterior was wonderfully private, near the golf course. The tile floor throughout the unit was very practical and attractive. Thank you very much!!!
Everything was as expected and we all enjoyed the rental very much. It showed very nice and was a relaxing place
the only thing I didn't like in the villa is that there is no shelfs in the shower- no place to put your shampoo...
The garden aloha rental was immaculate and professionally decorated. The upstairs master suite was a dream. I don't think I'll ever stay in a hotel again after staying in this lovely condo.
This unit was very clean and had all of the amenities. Everything was pretty new. It was very quiet. One bedroom was downstairs, which gave us some extra privacy and space. In the entire week we were there, there were usually no more than 5 other folks at the pool at a time. Enough other kids to play with, but not packed. We liked the North Shore beaches a LOT. We usually stay in Waikiki and really liked how beautiful (picture postcard) but less crowded the beaches are. I take a lot of massages. The one I received at the Turtle Bay resort was the BEST massage I have ever had. It was wonderful. I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't take as long to get the Turtle Bay as I feared it would. After a 5 hour plane ride, the last thing I wanted was a long drive. It took about 50 minutes, but it was a pretty and easy drive. I would absolutely go hear again.
We had a great time while staying in this condo while in Oahu. The condo was beautiful, loved the decor and the upgrades. The only thing that could make it better would be an ocean view, which would be impossible. The one thing that we didn't like about the condo was that it was very hot inside, especially if we didn't keep both the front door and back slider open. We ended up having to sleep with the front door and back slider open otherwise it was unbearable inside especially upstairs. This didn't make me feel very safe, since the back slider screen was not secure and did not lock. Also we had tons of lizards visiting us while we were there. Maybe some ceiling fans could be installed to help with this problem. Also the hot water went out on us and I had to take a freezing cold shower, then my husbant played with the circuit breaker and got the hot water working again. The gentleman that we contacted on arrival, I think Mike was his name. He was very friendly and helpful and gave us great advice about where to eat. We loved Lei Lei's on the turtle bay resort, very good food, recommended by Mike. We also love Ted's bakery, ate breakfast there every morning! Awesome food and very reasonable. We rented a crib for my baby from Baby's Away, and she was awesome! Thanks for the recommendation. I could go on for days! Thanks for helping us find somewhere to stay last minute! If we are in Oahu again we will definately contact you for a rental! Mahalo,rnThe Seanoa Family
Customer service was great. The only complaints we have is the shower curtains... they were only half length. Also, there were only 3 rolls of toilet paper provided... for a whole family for a week that doesn't seem like much. rnrnOtherwise, it was a truly lovely experience. Thank you.
