Hale Nalu Townhouse at Turtle Bay Golf Course

Great spot on the North Shore!

N/A

The kitchen was well stocked and clean. Beautiful bathroom. The A/C worked very well. The bed was comfortable. Parking was easy. Nice, small clean pool. The view of the golf course was nice.

When I booked this unit, I had high hopes by the description and was excited for my choice. But...The description that it is a short walk to Turtle Bay is VERY misleading. That needs to be removed from description because it was one of the reasons why we booked this unit. I am handicapped and going by description, I thought was a short walk as stated.it is not.We had to DRIVE to Turtle Bay. Public parking lot is average size but good luck getting a spot. The photo of livingroom is not actual furniture. Furniture was dirty with stains. You're asked to remove shoes but floors turn the bottom of feet black from filth. If you wear socks, they will be ruined. Bottom of curtains are black from floor. The curtains in bedroom are not room darkening and light from light poles in room all night long causing terrible sleep if you are light sensitive. Livingroom curtains and bedroom curtains are shear too. You can see shadows of form from outside. We checked. Don't be naked in the bedroom at night with a light on or you'll give quite the show. The bed and pillows. Where do I start. We always check for bedbugs when we stay places. Thankfully there were none. But what we found was disgusting. Body fluid (yes, I mean semen stains)stained matress covering... all over it. The cleaning people put a clean sheet over it. We contacted owner , sent him photos, and demanded it be replaced, clean bedding and new pillows. The pillows were also disgusting. He did quickly reply and did replace all. However, it never should have happened in the first place. The washer and dryer are expensive, beautiful models They work very well. However, the dryer is not vented to the outside. It vents to a water box on to of the dryer, but all the steam, dryer lint and smell just vents into unit. The paint is peeling on ceiling and walls next to dryer. The ceiling got wet during drying. Every day in the unit exacerbated my asthma because of the dryer venting.

The property is absolutely gorgeous. The townhouses are located on a golf course. They had barbecues, pools everything you could ever want.

The price is a little high

As advertised, “Steps from our beach,” is a total fabrication and a scam. The bed was comfortable.

Their promotional material is misleading. “Steps from our beach” is a total fabrication and a scam. The wall to the neighboring unit is paper thin (i.e., no insulation) allowing us to hear all of the commotion and loud TV of our rude neighbors for our entire 3-day stay. We survived with ear plugs and iPod’s noise canceling feature, especially when trying to sleep! The furnishings throughout are cheap, second hand, thrift store quality, and very uncomfortable. The place is moderately rundown, needing a refresh. Make no mistake, there is NO ocean view. It’s a .6 mile hike to the Turtle Bay hotel, where you can access public beaches, but carrying all the stuff you would like to have at the beach requires packing up and driving over there, and then good luck finding a parking spot anywhere near the beach trail heads. All in all, a real disappointment when considering the money being charged. We would never return, and we encourage the readers of this review to do a much better job researching and validating a better place to stay.

Great location, well equipped, clean and great host!

Great location. We‘ve been to Oahu before, but we have always stayed in Honolulu and ate at restaurants. We decided this time to cook our own meals to save some money and get away from the big city. It was a first for us and we had a blast. The location was quiet and very close to the beaches and relatives.

No complaints.

Location was great for surfing
