All in all it was a great experience. The unit was clean, spacious, and best of all for a family of four, it had four TVs! It was also very quiet andrelaxing. My only quibble was ir rir not have the amenities that almost always are present in a rental of this character. There was no hair shampoo, paper towels, clothe3s washing detergent, dish washing detergent, etc. This is really a minor expense and if present I would have rated our experience as excellent. One otherr minor thing, I couldn;t find the outside number of the unit. Since we did not arrive until 3 AM this was a bit of a problem, But my wife found the lock box so maybe it was there afet all. All in all it was a great experience, we had never beeen to Oahu before and really enjoyed ourselves.

A great space with good furnishings and overall quite comfortable - wish we'd had more time there and a couple friends with us to share it with. Some things we noticed if you want to make it even better: - Bathroom fans seem like they're daisy'd off the lights, makes for a loud bath and disturbing when going to the bathroom in the middle of the night. - Thanks to the bug traps we didn't notice any small cockroaches, but there was a planet-sized one in the kitchen. I chased it to a corner on the floor by the stove where a large piece of the cabinet baseboard trim is missing - might keep him out by blocking that up. - The latch on the sliding doors to the lanai seemed broken off, took me a lil bit to figure out how to pull the "stub" of the latch up to open the doors. - The drapes are nice looking but not very functional - hard to open and close. - Might want to make a lil "how to" for the TV, took me a while to figure it out :)
Ryan S., Juneau, AK, 12.12.11
Clean, attractive, and fairly priced.
The kitchen is really nice with lots of equipment provided and a spacious fridge. It's a bit of a walk to the beach, but it's pretty.
The location is great: there's a few local restaurants a short 10 minute drive on the east side of the island.
The pool is good, but I stayed here in November and the sun had basically set on it by 4.30pm, which was a shame since I was working on this trip and got back around 4pm.
The note on the fridge says otherwise, but you have to provide your own toilet paper and laundry detergent.
The screens are a bit rickety and required a few minutes of jostling to get set up, but once they're in, there's no reason to use the A/C unit, which is noisy and at an odd angle.
I never really saw anyone else other than other guests in the property, but the people I spoke with on the phone were friendly and helpful, even when my flight got delayed so badly I got in at 1am on a Sunday night.
Overall, clean and recommended.
Jubal S., Portland, OR, 11.13.11
I loved having 3 bathrooms. This made getting ready for the day much easier for us. The washer and dryer worked well and had a quick wash cycle. I made 2 phone calls to the management and my calls were returned promptly. We went to watch a family member get married. The wedding was the best part of the trip. We also got to fit many events in to our visit such as Pearl Harbor, Dole Plantation, parasailing and many other things. The pineapple ice-cream at Dole is a "do not miss." It was delicious. The condo had a nice swimming pool and picnic area, we barbequed some mahi-mahi fish that we caught ourselves on a deep sea fishing trip. YUM!! Sharks cove was very cool for snorkeling. A tip would be to sign up at foodland grocery for their discount card. It's easy and makes a lot of difference in price for food. The Polynesian Cultural Center is not open on sunday's, as is the Foodland in that town. The whole town closes on Sunday due to the LDS church. The LDS temple was quite spectacular to see too. Next time I go I will probably shop at the Costco store for groceries for the week.
Annette V., Dayton, OR, 9.12.11
Unit was in good condition but AC was not working. Mark was very responsive and had the units fixed/replaced the next day. Location was the best part of this rental. Located at Turtle Bay, the surfing, golf and food options were great. Best food for the value was Ted's This condo rental was a value based decision for me as I was traveling with my teenage son. It was perfect for two guys planning on surfing and golfing all week. I wouldn't recommend it if you wanted a more romantic "high end" ambiance.
Jeff S., Los Gatos, CA, 8.14.11
We enjoyed a wonderful vacation on the north shores of Oahu staying at Kuilima Estates. The location was perfect for us, since all we ever do whenever we visit Hawaii is go snorkeling at Shark's cove. We had stayed in other parts of Oahu before and "commuted" an hour everyday, but this year we were just 15 minutes away. The weather was a little unstable with a little bit of rain everyday, and it was quite cool in the mornings, but it was also a welcome respite from the heat back home. The unit had air conditioning in the 2 bedrooms, but we didn't once turn them on. It was a comfortable unit with a lot of privacy and I would have rated the unit 5 stars, except for the smell coming out of the kitchen sink, and the broken faucet outside the entrance which made rinsing off sand a hassle. We were instructed to rinse off using the showers by the pool, but we weren't quite comfortable lugging our gear to the pool. Also, the screen doors were in need of much repair. That being said, it is still a great place to stay, and it had all the things we needed for our vacation. We would love to stay there again someday.
Maria O., Yokohama, Kanagawa, 8.6.11
We loved seeing so much of what the island of Oahu had to offer and then getting away from it all in this lovely condo. It felt like home. We would return in a heartbeat. Don't miss Ted's Bakery's garlic shrimp. It was so much better than the famous Kuhuku shrimp. Make sure to visit the Polynesian Culture Center in Laie, only a ten minute drive from the property. Enjoy the sunrises over the golf course from the unit and the sunsets on Sunset Beach or Waimea Beach.
Chris M., Reno, NV, 7.20.11
Ola was a great place to enjoy our last night at Turtle Bay. And the townhouse we stayed in was the envy of everyone who stayed at the hotel!
Michelle B., Oak Park, Il, 6.22.11
The price was reasonable for the location and condition of condo. I liked the privacy of the location, as well as the amenities. With cable TV, a stove, microwave, dishwasher, washer and dryer, I felt like I was right at home. I will definately recommend Kuilima Estates to all of my friends and family members who travel to the beautiful island of Oahu, Hawaii. The location is perfect for people who are attending the Polynesian Cultural Center, as its location is close by. If I ever come to Hawaii in the future, I will stay at Kulima Estates again. Aloha!!!
Lana C., Highland, Utah, 5.29.11
IT WAS VERY CLEAN OUTSTANDING SERVICE BEING THERE OK THE GROUP SHOTS THAT PART OF THE WORLD KEEP IT NICE NOTHING DOING IT ALL AGAIN THANKS
John P., Cambridge, Ontario, 5.29.11
My family and I really enjoyed staying at this house, it had everything we needed and it was affordable. Close to BYU-H and other beaches around. I definetely recommend it to other families. I think if would be nice to get a "welcome package" with information about close beaches, restaurants, etc. and physically see someone that would open the property for you and not just do the self-check in.
Edith L., Draper, Utah, 4.26.11
I really liked that the unit was right by the swimming pool and also if you leave the sliding door open by the golf course, there is so much wind that you never have to worry about being hot. Even when it was really sunny outside, enough to get you sun burnt, we didn't have to use the AC. The only thing I would recommend about the unit, is maybe putting in a queen size been instead of a full one. Me and my husband are not tiny people, and we had a hard time sleeping on that been, but overall I really love it. I would have loved to stay a lot longer then we did, but we missed our dog.
Gaylyn Y., Kaneohe, HI, 1.10.11
This was a wonderful place to land on the North Shore in Oahu. Great location to explore the island from and happened to have a perfect view of the lunar eclipse on the solstice (when the clouds cleared)
Amy S., Forestville, California, 1.1.11
The condo was really nice and Mark was great. It had everything we needed. It was further away from the airport than we thought and the traffic in north shore can be very heavy. Beaches are beautiful. Definitly try the shrimp trucks and ted's bakery. The dinner buffet at turtle bay was great to. Kona's in haliewa had best pork sandwichs. Still a wonderful time and great place to stay. Try the skydiving at pacific at dillington airfield, awesome, request rob. Also dove with captain Bruce for 2 days. Great scuba dive operation.
Debra B., Mountain Top, PA, 11.23.10
What I liked best about the unit i rented was all display and nice view. The customer service I received was attentive and trim interior. The best part of my trip was Snorkeling in Hanauma bay. The best restaurant I found was shrimp House restaurant near the rented house street.
Kevin K., SAN JOSE, CA, 10.14.10
The accommodations were beautiful and better than expected. We came to play in the water and found that much of what we expected to rent (umbrella, body boards, beach chairs and mats) were provided and surfboards were available for rent at nearby Turtle Bay. We ate at the surfer dives up and down the North Shore and appreciated the hospitality and friendliness of all. The Polynesian Cultural Center in Laie was amazing...we had a great time.
Greg G., Kaysville, Utah, 8.21.10
We definitely enjoyed our stay in Tiare Hale 37 East. It was so convenient not having to "check in and check out." We'd like to come back again but might consider looking for a unit with a/c through out. I did leave a security deposit and would greatly appreciate an speedy return.
Stacey P., Kailua, Hawaii, 8.14.10
great place to stay!
Pardeep J., Delta, BC, 8.9.10
Great location and lots of beach choices between Haleiwa and this condo. Cholos mexican food in Haleiwa was awesome. Great food, great value, great locations. A must if looking for food in Haleiwa. Haleiwa overall a great place to spend time in. Unit check in was very easy. The unit had all the items in the kitchen we needed. Having a patio with a BBQ would have been a plus. The drive up the east side of the island better and quicker than up through the middle from Honolulu. Ted's Bakery is a must to stop for the garlic grilled shrimp and the cakes / pies. Easy walk from the unit to the beach at Turtle Bay Resort. Already thinking about coming back to the North Shore!
Guy F., Chestermere, Alberta, 6.8.10
The layout is great for entertaining and/or socializing with family. Was impressed with ease of rental -- booked on line, quick confirmation, great directions, easy to access the unit and checkout. Loved the proximity to town of Haviewa (sp?) and Turtle Bay resort. The best part of the trip was hanging out at the local beaches, Sunset and Waimea! Swimming with the sharks was definately a highlight for our family. On downside: Futons in the loft are difficult to sleep on given how hard they are. Unit has no outside terrace, deck and the view is totally closed in.
Bernice B., West Vancouver, BC, 4.17.10
We've stay on the south side of Oahu before (Bellows, Waikiki, and Ewa Beach) and so appreciated an opportunity to be on the north shore near Turtle Bay. It felt like a quiet retreat and my favorite part was spending time at the pool each evening (right out front!!) after dinner with the kids, then chatting together as a family as we walked through the beautiful and quiet grounds. As for the unit itself, the amenities were great and the unit was comfortable. Loved having the full kitchen and the laundry. While A/C was available, there was zero need for it - breezes were perfect. The pools were comfortable and never busy, and neither were the courts. The beach is walkable unless you have a ton of gear. In the quiet of the morning, we could easily hear the roar of the ocean as we woke up - loved that! As for the overall location, plan to enjoy the local beaches and the pool/courts - while the rest of the island is certainly accessible, the hour or so drives do get tedious if you plan to spend most of your time in the south. While we definitely recommend this unit, I do need to mention one suggestion for them - fix the screen door locks. The ocean breezes were wonderful at night, but the lack of locks made us nervous about leaving the kids in the other room. For food, plan to make some meals, pick up take out in Wahiawa, get shrimp from the trucks nearby in Kahuku or eat at one of the many great restaurants in Hale'iwa. Husband's fav activity: pick up Starbucks next to Foodland (15 min away) and then walk across the street to read a book and watch the tremendous morning waves there. If you go to the Polynesian Cultural Center (and you should!), take advantage of how close it is and go twice (free within 3) to really see everything. Best beaches on the island: for body boarding and absolutely amazing sand - Bellows and/or Kailua on the southeast side. For swimming with young kids and w/o big waves to deal with - Ko'olina resort area down on the southwest side. Just tell the guards you are going to the public beach. They have 3 beautiful manmade lagoons perfect for swimming safely.
Sara K., Hamden, CT, 3.11.10
Very good house, in perfect conditions, clean and everything worked very well. Very good location in a quiet place, especially if you like golf. Although if you are more interested in beaches, like I was, you need a at least 10 minutes driving to get a good one. I recommend the place.
Alberto V., Rio de Janeiro, Rio de Janeiro - Brazil, 2.18.10
A really memorable vacation begins with LOCATION...LOCATION...LOCATION! What a SPOT! The web page of this condo does not do it justice. What a beautiful relaxing place. Everything you need was provided. I loved the morning strolls to the beach. Which was neccessary after my many trips to Ted's. There was plenty of room for my family of 6 and activities for all. The only complaint came from my husband who was was disappointed that he was unable to use the Resort work out facilities. I'm a new fan of vacation rentals. Aloha from Joshua, Texas
Rosita K., Joshua, Texas, 12.29.09
Garden Aloha 50 East was PERFECT! What a beautiful condo! Our family has been vacationing in Hawaii for 30 years, and we usually stay at the Turtle Bay Resort. This time, we decided to rent a condo; what a GREAT idea. I wish we would have done this a long time ago. When we walked in, our jaws dropped. It was decorated so wonderfully and was extremely clean... spotless!!! The couches were amazing, so comfortable and cozy. The beds in each bedroom were heavenly. There was a huge 60" tv in the living room with full cable and a dvd player. We watched a movie every night. We also really enjoyed the plasma tv's in each bedroom and even the loft! The customer service was exceptional from the agents at vacation rentals to Mark. They responded very quickly and were always reachable and helpful. We ate a Lei Lei's twice... have been eating there since it opened...great food! Of course we went to Ted's Bakery....yummmy! Grass Skirt Grill in Haleiwa is a MUST. Such great food... burgers, sandwiches, shrimp, etc. We went to the beach at Turtle Bay... about a 10 minute walk. We also went on a walk every morning all around the resort and the beaches. It is so cool to be staying at a condo, but also have the hotel so close to eat dinner, lunch, and cocktails at sunset! We cooked a few times... the kitchen was fully stocked with pots and pans, glasses, plates, oven, microwave. I wish they would have had a toaster though!! There were beach towels and bath towels provided.... could use a few more bath towels because we had to wash them almost everyday because there were 5 of us staying there! oh, there was a washer and dryer in the unit which we LOVED. There was only one tennis racket, so we couldn't play tennis. We recommend they get one more racket or even a few. If you are staying in the bedroom downstairs.... DON'T OPEN THE WINDOWS AT NIGHT! We made the mistake of not closing the window before it got dark, and we had tons of bugs and mosquitos come in through the screen! yuck! There were a lots of mosquitos throughout the entire condo. There was a mosquito net in the upstairs bedroom, recomend to put one downstairs too. Also, we found a couple of gigantic roaches at night..... but it is Hawaii and no matter what, roaches are all over the island! We stayed there in November and the weather was mild....not sure if we would want to stay there in the summer months though. There is an air conditioner in both bedrooms which we used every night and they were great. The loft and living room were soooo hot and we highly recomend an air conditioner be put up in the loft and living room! At night, we had to close the sliding glass door because mosquitos would get in. When you are drying your clothes in the dryer, the heat goes right up to the loft... way too hot to sleep up there. Besides the very very few flaws.... this condo was perfect and we had one of the best trips we have ever had in 30 years. Mark is awesome too!!! We will DEFINITELY stay here again in the future.
Sophia P., Glendora, Ca, 11.17.09
We enjoyed staying at the Garden Aloha #50....it was clean, in a good location, close to the beach (which was beautiful), close to shopping for groceries, we were right next to the golf course. Ted's bakery was close (Yummy). The best part was that it was that it was such a beautiful location. Now we know why they call it Paradise, and it is only about 45 minutes from Honolulu. We would recommend the restaurant there was the Lei Lei, it was very casual but the food was excellent. The only thing that we ran across that was negative was a couple of the mugs were cracked and leaked. We would highly recommend staying there.
Yvonne R., Sacramento, CA, 10.1.09
We just returned from a stay in this unit and overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed the facility. The weather wasn't the greatest till the last part of our trip, but we spent that time sightseeing anyway. Mark was great in his response to any needs that we had, so the customer service was great. My only issue was the little things that could have made this a 5 star stay. I am not being picky, but these are all issues that can be prevented. It's the little things that make ones stay excellent vs just great. The day following our arrival, we had to call because the ice maker was not functioning and the bar stools were very unstable. Mark responded immediately and arranged to get them fixed. We had a remote that had no functioning batteries, and if some extras were there, I would have changed them. The track lights in the kitchen had two bulbs that were out. The pots and pans need replacing as many were scratched and difficult to cook on. The TV's were great, but you could only get the HD channels in the family room even though you had large LCD TV's in the bedrooms. I thought it was great that there were some dry goods left there that we would have normally had to buy, like pancake syrup, salt, pepper, sugar, etc. We, in turn, left whatever was not used as well for the next vacationers. The beach chairs outside appeared rusted and unusable and that was something we could have used. The boogie boards and cooler was a great plus and we used them daily. The facility pool was great and refreshing. The kids loved it! That is also where you would BBQ and it was close by the unit. I felt the view/privacy of the unit was unlike any other condo. We felt completely private even though there was another unit adjacent to us. We truely enjoyed our stay and are really happy we found this unit.
TJ S., Germantown, MD, 4.14.09
Tiare Hale was wonderful. It made our first trip to Hawaii one worth remembering. Tiare Hale is close to many sites (Polynesian Cultural Center, LDS Temple, Valley of the Temples...) The customer service was great. Mark was very patient even when we locked the keys in our condo. Thanks for a memorable vacation. Our family will always be greatful.
Mary B., Kenai, Alaska, 4.11.09
Thanks for a wonderful stay. Such a safe and peaceful escape from the ordinary vacation experience!
Anna W., Macon, Ga, 3.10.09
The unit was perfect for us. It was great to have a washer & dryer. We really only spent the evenings there, so it was nice to be able to cook dinner and relax. Thanks !!!!!!!
Diane N., San Diego, CA, 12.26.08
The unit was very nice and clean, however I was surprised that only one roll of toilet paper was supplied for each bathroom. It would have been nice to know this and we would have taken some from home. Also we had no idea how to turn on the light upstairs in the loft. It needs a remote control which we didn't figure out until later in the trip. Also because it was very rainy the power went out only for a moment but still there were no candles or a flashlight it would be nice to have these in the condo. Also the screen door and the patio glass door in the down stairs bedroom didn't lock. The location was excellent and we did enjoy our trip very much.... Jennifer
Jennifer O., Calgary, Alberta, 12.19.08
It was absolute great the surroundings around the condo was superb close to some beautiful beaches. The condo had everything that we needed I recommended the area to some of are friends it was quiet and away from the crowd. Thanks to all the staff for making are trip so great and relaxing.
Alonzo M., Bakersfield, CA, 8.13.08
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!
Jodi M., Visalia, Ca, 8.11.08
Our family had a wonderful time! There was enough space for everyone (6 people total). Loved having 3 bathrooms especially with 4 ladies in our party! Will definitely recommend and return again.
Marvette L., Bloomfield, CT, 7.17.08
we loved the area. Turtle Bay is beautiful! Thanks for allowing our family to stay in the beautiful condo. wish we had one more day, 3 not quite enough.
Brandi B., Meridian, ID, 7.2.08
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.
Leslie B., Farr West, Utah, 7.2.08
We enjoyed the secluded front patio at the condo. I would explain how to use the entry key FOB at the electronic gate, better. It was confusing as we did not know that the key fob had to be very close to the little light. Lucklily there was a local to explain it. Overall we had a great time and enjoyed snorkeling at Turtle Beach.
Nancy B., Fort Collins, CO, 7.1.08
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!!!
Kathy B., Spokane, WA, 6.29.08
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!!
Karen S., La Habra, CA, 4.1.08
The unit was smaller than expected, but worked out good for our small size family. We enjoyed the location and peacefullness it had to offer.
Nick L., North Pole, Alaska, 3.17.08
The condo was great! A little scary with kids (glass table & dishes) we bought paper plates & cups :) the BBQ by the pool was fun. Great neighbors!! nice town. We'll be back. It was kind of a pain to remember to turn off ALL the fans & air every time we left....we're on vacation & shouldnt need to think of those things. It would be nice to come back to a cool condo when its so hot outside! Mahalo for letting us stay there.
Dawn T., El Cajon, Ca, 3.6.08
The unit itself was beautiful but using the flat screen TV's was difficult. There were at least three remote controls for the TV in the living room and the directions left for us in using it were not very good. There was an ant problem with the unit even though we were very careful to clean up after every meal and not leave food out on the counter. There were barely enough bath towels-luckily there were only five of us not the six we had thought. I was extremely disappointed that our contact Mark Berkowitz was rude to both my mother-in-law and my husband when they called to get clarification on the directions to the unit. By the directions given to us the address would have indicated that we take the second turn on the right once we headed to Turtle Bay Resort but that was not the case. You would think someone in charge of a rental unit in Hawaii would be more hospitable. I would not recommend this unit to anyone.
Heather D., North St. Paul, MN, 3.1.08
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.
Carla B., Buena Park, Ca, 2.13.08
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!!!
Pam S., Gypsum, Colorado, 1.23.08
Everything was as expected and we all enjoyed the rental very much. It showed very nice and was a relaxing place
Richard C., Pontiac, Michigan, 1.21.08
We enjoyed the unit 106. I would of liked a few more comforts in the kitchen such as baking dishes but, we managed. I love having use of a washer a dryer to keep up with the towels. We would go to the Resort in the evenings and in the early mornings. The walk gave us some exercise. We were very comfortable. Thank you.
Buddy E., Hemet, CA, 1.17.08
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...
Gergana I., Wisconsin Dells, WI, 9.19.07
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.
Sarah P., Gig Harbor, WA, 9.12.07
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.
Carolyn C., Piedmont, CA, 8.30.07
I was very comfortable and had all the kitchen utensils we needed. I received very good customer servicernThe best part was the traveling around the islandrnTHe best resturant was Rosies CantinarnrnI was very disappointed with the beach, we went to beach and couldn't use snorkle, chairs and umbrellas. I had understood that we were able to use the facilities but were kicked off chairs and umbrella and was told only guests of the hotel are to use facilities.
Irene C., Los Angeles, CA, 8.5.07
Thank you for the opportunity to stay in such a beautiful place during our vacation in Oahu. The condo was lovely and just perfect for the 5 of us. We loved having our own private kitchen and all the amenities we'd have at home. The private pool was quiet and peaceful and the location was close to lots of beaches and snorkeling locations. The condo made it very easy for us to enjoy Hawaii with 2 small kids in tow. Jeri and Mark's customer service was perfect and they took very good care of us. We ate lots of great food and appreciated Jeri & Mark's recommendations of Lei Lei's and Ted's Bakery. Yum!!! We look forward to planning another vacation with Hawaiian Beach Rentals and will definitely recommend you to our friends and family! Thanks again for such a wonderful time!!!!
Gina M., , , 7.20.07
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
Cassandra S., ALTA LOMA, CA, 7.12.07
My girls loved being close to the pool. My husband enjoyed watching golf and the great trails around the property. I enjoyed the peaceful setting.

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.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful....That's what we have to say about our stay at Tiare Hale 37 East. We walked in and found the place to be clean and cozy. It had all the amenties of home, including Wi-fi for our boys, 16 & 12. The place was quiet and relaxing, although we tried our best not to be there too much, being in Hawaii and all. We arrived a bit early. but Mark did his best at getting us in as quickly as possible. There were 5 of us total ranging in ages from 12-38 and all of us slept quite comfortably. Mark also gave us a tip on the local "grinds" (food)...the best plate lunch on the Island, about 2-3 miles south of the resort, Ted's Bakery! You gotta taste their "Chocolate Haupia Creme Pie"...Heavenly. Also, about 15 minutes North of the resort is the greatest attraction on the Island, The Polynesian Cultural Center!....You have to Purchase the Al'i Luau Package...just enough. All in all, having these great accomodations were what made this Vacation an all in all "Success". Mahalo Nui Loa Mark and Hawaiian Beach Rentals!

We had a wonderful stay there , especially the connection and ease we had for the walk around the golf course path to the turtle bay resort restaurants. The apartment is well fitted and decorated personally , along with the use of the washing machine and dryer , not expected to find this with a normal rental. All in all just like staying in our own place at home. We had one small problem in the bathroom , to which Mark turned up and fixed immediately and that was on a Sunday! Thank you , we will be back.

Our weekend get away at Kuilima Estates West 62 was wonderful!! We were very pleased from the time we started inquiring about accommodations for our weekend till leaving the premises, that we have only had positive words of gratitude. The staff who helped and the member at the condo were nothing but helpful assuring us with the utmost detail and description as to what needed to be done and how to get there. The contract was very explicit and informative. We were very pleased with the site itself that was surprisingly equipped with items beyond our expectations. The only regret we had was that the blinds were missing slats which revealed our whereabouts inside the home during the evenings and allowed the beautiful bright but HOT afternoon sun through. Other than that, we found it very convenient for us to be in that location. It was quiet and we felt very secluded which made it relaxing for us. We appreciated the kind gesture from Thomas Matthews which enabled us to enjoy our stay to the fullest extent. Mahalo! I would definitely recommend your company to others as well as utilize the facilities in the future. Thank you for you thoroughness and follow through with this process. We are truly satisfied patrons! Aloha,

The family really enjoyed our visit -- the tennis courts and pool are very close by, and with the internet, we were easily able to keep in touch with our business activity. The condo was well equipped in the kitchen and there were very thoughtful touches through-out the unit. Thank you!

We've stayed on the North Shore several times, and Kuilima Hale was very lovely. We hope to make it back again next year. The condo was very, very comfortable, and the weather was perfect. Mahalo. Josie and Victor

We had a great time, the condo was very comfortable for our needs, such a great location in a very quiet and relaxed atmosphere. We also liked the idea of either the pool (within a few feet of our place) or a short ride to wonderful quaint beaches.

Aloha, the stay was great but the swimming pool was closed and so the barbecue. At the beginning we lost few hours to contact you because we had the wrong code to get the keys. Except that it was good. Mahalo, Claire
