3-Bed Villa 103 at Turtle Bay

The property is old and outdated, in need of a significant refresh to meet the standards of a luxury listing. The fridge was problematic—it froze our eggs and vegetables, leaked water onto the floor (which we had to mop up repeatedly with the replacement part never materializing over our 2 week stay), many overall caused inconveniences. The kitchen was poorly equipped, with limited supplies and subpar utensils; for instance, plastic flippers were the only option for barbecuing, and the quality of items felt like Walmart basics.

The stove top frequently shut off and had to be reset, including twice at the breaker panel. There was no broom in the unit, and when we requested one, we were given a broken-handled broom (seemingly salvaged from a dumpster), accompanied by an apology and a promise of a new one that never materialized.

Evening conversations with other guests confirmed our observations: the units do not meet the quality standards one would expect from a property of this caliber.

Amazing

great time

Very comfortable and well appointed unit. A couple of beds are long in the tooth but overall our experience was a very good one.

We stayed at the Ocean Front Villas at Turtle Bay and our group was four adults and two grandsons. Overall the stay was very nice even though the weather was little cloudy and rainy.

15 years ago we got married at Turtle Bay and stayed in the same condos with Gina. Awesome condos, team and process then and our returning trips about every couple years! The finish quality of the condos and high end appliances and thoughtfully stocked and outfitted are the best. Gina and Team have thought of everything and maintained the quality for over 15 years + that we know of. One of our favorite trips/travel. Highly recommended.

GREAT, AWESOME! Communication and automated processes were seamless! The 3-bed, 2-bath space was clean and well maintained aside from minimal normal wear and very livable! The villa is located directly in the path of the beach access gate from the rear lanai door. The common-use shower is right outside the unit on the lawn. We had a family of 5 including a baby for 4 nights. Our extended family previously stayed in villa #104 (next door) and loved the location. Turtle Bay Resort uses the area adjacent to the beach for events but this was not an issue for us. Thank you to the management company for making this a relaxing family stay!

Family vacation trip, all adults.
Excellent location looking out to the beach, which was perfect for swimming and some snorkeling. Nice to have close access to the resort restaurants, shops, etc. Lots of fun beaches, small towns on the north shore.
Villa is nicely furnished and kitchen is well stocked.
Manager was very responsive on all inquiries.
Highly recommend!!!

We loved the setting and location of our villa, convenient for all the benefits of the hotel, coffee bar, shops, restaurants, with the independence of being self-contained. We never went in a pool as the sea was so calm and perfect and steps from our door - you could even book nighttime snorkelling. Having snorkels, beachchairs etc was an added bonus.

Our family of 4 couples plus our 11 month old grand daughter had a fabulous time! Villas 102 & 103 were steps from the beach and pool and only minutes from Roys and the Turtle Bay Resort. It was so peaceful to sit on the shaded lanai any time of the day and view a perfect horizon of ocean and sky. Our grand daughter had a beachfront seat for all her meals. The faucet in front of villa 103 used for rinsing off the sand turned out to be the perfect "beach" with a little sand and water to play in. The layout of the complex made for a relaxing stay and we never felt on top of the other guests. I was concerned about a steady stream of families going to and from the beach past our lanai. Instead, we saw few people and felt the set back gave us enough space and privacy. The evenings were quiet, restful and the A/C comfortable. Everyone was friendly. The beach locker is a plus not all villas provide.
The furnishings are tired, but functional. You do have to always be aware of the step down. It might be time to replace the kitchen faucet. However, the view and location are what makes villas 102 & 103 worth it!
Kudos go to Gina, Kimberly and Lea managers of Oceanfront Vacation Villas. You were patient and available to answer all my many questions. I appreciated that you added a sound bar just days before our arrival. Thank you for quickly responding to my request for an early checkin and late checkout. Being focused on our grand daughter, I wasn't as organized as I usually am. Your enthusiasm for this magical place is contagious!
If you want more space, a place to cook, an unforgettable view, the best location and friendly, helpful people, this is the place to stay on the North Shore!

Villa 103 was absolutely gorgeous!!! We had the most perfect stay and could not have asked for more. The villa was very clean and well maintained. We will definitely be back!!!!!

My family of 6 adults had a wonderful and much needed vacation at the Ocean Villas. I researched all the villas and Gina’s was perfect for us as it had 3 bedrooms and plenty of seating in the living room which many of the other villas did not. All the furnishings were just as seen online. I was pleasantly surprised to see how close we were to the beach and Turtle Bay resort...literally steps away. The pool area was fantastic and beach equipment plentiful. The North Shore was relaxing and the views breathtaking. I would vacation here again!

We rented 3 units for 14 family members to celebrate my kiddo's graduation. The condos were well appointed and in a perfect location, just wish we could have stayed longer. Gina and Kimberly were great and responsive as well.

Villa 103 is gorgeous!!! The unit itself is just beautiful. Furniture pretty and comfortable! Fabulous, fully stocked kitchen. Opens up to a beautiful grassy area AND has ocean views. Close proximity to the hotel and delicious Roy's Restaurant. I would give it 100 stars if I could!

The Villa was clean and well equipped but a few more beach towels would be nice since we had to wash them every night and the dryer was very slow in drying so we could only put in 3-4 at a time. Maybe it was the dryer or the vent. Otherwise I would recommend your property and stay there again.

I Can't say enough at how spectacular our stay was at turtle Bay. We had 12 adults and 6 kids. The villas were so beautiful and we had everything we needed. Surfing at North shore was epic for my sons!

We had a great time at this beautiful villa, can’t wait to come back again, my family and I enjoyed it very much. The location is beautiful as well. I highly recommend this villa.

What a place. We stayed here for a recent family trip and it was perfect! When you walk into the villa you are greeted with the most amazing view of the spectacular ocean. Just steps out of your sliding door to the beach. Oh and don’t forget the “owner’s storage closet” that has beach chairs, snorkel gear, umbrella. Beautiful kitchen and BBQs on site! Can’t wait to return!

This beyond gorgeous location and impeccable unit was utterly amazing! The beach was perfect. We took a couple of day trips to nearby attractions. We stayed at resort lounged at the beautiful beach and pool. Good at nearby restaurants was the best. Perfection...Plenty to do yet tranquil and perfect for relaxing...as is location and accommodation.

Place was amazing, just steps away from the beach! Would defiantly recommend this place to anyone looking to vacation in this area!

It was just Great! We can recommend this Villa!

Great location! Perfect for our family!

My extended family and I had such a wonderful and lovely time at the Villas. The setting was perfect. The beach and pool were nearby and easy to enjoy. The villas were very clean and had all the amenities we needed. We will absolutely be back in the future. Thank you!

We had 3 adult couples. The condo was well equipped, clean, and we loved the ground floor access to the beach/pool. The only thing I would ask to change is accessibility to the Turtle Bay gym. There was no one in there and we were not able to use it. We would have paid an additional gym fee to do so.

We had a lovely time in this beautiful unit. Everything went smoothly and no problems at all. Great location, hope to return!

Villa 103 is steps away from a small sheltered bay-we were able to swim with a toddler despite high waves just beyond the breakwater. This villa is on the ground floor, had a lawn for our toddler to play on, and is one of the closest to the beach entrance. The beach is maintained by Turtle Bay and is immaculate. The condo pool and hot tub were spotless, large, not crowded. The two propane grills on the condo were first come so grab one early if you are planning to grill.
The villa itself could use new furniture but everything was functional, generally well maintained, and was supplied with everything we needed, including snorkel equipment, beach chairs, etc. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, dishes, etc.
We were a large group and rented villa 102 as well which has connecting doors.
The stovetop malfunctioned-during COVID, eating in was important. The management company responded promptly and got a repairman out the next morning.
Turtle Bay itself is ideally located. It is quiet, uncrowded, and is near to Kahuku and all of their food trucks. Roys restaurant, steps away from the condo, had superb food.
Would highly recommend Waimea Valley. It is a beautiful, curated botanical garden that is easy walking and ends at a waterfall and deep pool that is suitable for swimming.

We had a wonderful time! Villa is in best location. The unit had all kitchen supplies that we needed! We had this villa booked for earlier in the year but with covid had to reschedule and Jenn with vacation villas by Gina was so helpful at navigating the re-booking process! I highly recommend them and will definitely look in to using them in the future!

We arrived and the tiki torches were lit. We opened all the windows and fell asleep to the sound of the waves. We loved being so close to the beach and pool. The villa was clean and as described. We enjoyed watching the sunset listening to the live music at the hotel pool bar. We highly recommend this villa.

This villa is located in the perfect spot -- close to the cove's beach and a stone's throw to the hotel. The layout of the villa is wonderful too -- plenty of space for our group of six. Loved that it came fully furnished with sufficient kitchen supplies, washer and dryer. We were so concerned about the delicacy of the sofa bed that we didn't even try it. But the sofa and chairs were vary comfortable. Bedrooms, while small, were adequate for our needs. Beautifully maintained property. The only thing this area could use are more nearby restaurants that are affordable.

We had this villa along with the one next door. It was perfect. Ground level and access to both pool and ocean that were steps away. Very clean. Extra paper products and soap for the washer. The kitchens had everything needed to prepare our meals. Tastefully decorated and comfortable for all of us to have our own space. One of the best things were the boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas and snorkel gear for all 12 of us. Even beach toys for the younger ones. We couldn’t have asked for a better time for our 50th Anniversary.

The family had a great time. Everything was just steps away - beach, BBQ, outdoor shower, fully stocked storage with chairs, beach toys for the kiddos. Helpful staff, courteous and responsive hosts not much more you could ask for.

Great location, easy access to the beach, kitchen well stocked, lots of beach toys, cooler, umbrella and chairs. Very responsive owner that provided great information on the area and the home. Pool a little small for the complex but beach is right there! Walking distance to several good restaurants on site. Roomy kitchen, large dining room area and good internet service. All you need for a great North Shore stay!

This is the 2nd time we have stayed in Villa 103. The management company was fantastic working with us during COVID in getting everything rescheduled from 2020. We had a couple of issues when we checked in but Gina worked with us to get everything resolved. You could not ask for a better location. Turtle Bay Resort opened a couple of days after we arrived and we enjoyed eating there and having cocktails. Also would recommend the Spa.. Having dinner at Beach House by Roy’s was amazing as always. It is a wonderful place to stay and we highly recommend it.

Excellent location. Look forward to returning when all the amenities are fully open again.

My husband and I took our seven children and their spouses to Oahu for a trip without their kids. Sixteen of us were set to go when the Covid lockdown occurred and our trip had to be postponed a year!! Kimberly worked with us and ALWAYS responded to our calls and questions. We knew that we were in good hands after our first conversation with her!
In May 2021, we finally got to take this remarkable trip and stayed in a "perfect" place!! We had rented three villas to accommodate all 16 of us, and we couldn't have been more comfortable. Everything you would ever want in a home away from home was in our villas. The villas were so clean and set up so beautifully for our stay. Everyone in our group was comfortable and happy!!
When advertising, sometimes pictures are touched up, but the pictures of these villas and the surrounding grounds don't do the property justice. The location is perfect - close to the pool and close to the gate right out to the gorgeous grounds and beach. We loved going right out of our sliding glass door and sitting on the porch and watching the peacocks wander by. The location couldn't have been more perfect!! When we had a little trouble with the AC, Vince was right on it! He returned our call and stayed in touch with us until it was fixed. If you want to work with the nicest, most responsive and helpful people, then this is your place!
We had a most wonderful and memorable time!! We can't wait to go back, except the next time, we won't be taking OUR kids!!

We had a wonderful time. The Villa was fantastic, the location couldn't have been better. The property was clean, well maintained and had everything you could need. The owners were very responsive when we had a couple of questions. Our family plans on staying at this property again sometime in the future.

Such a clean and beautiful place to stay. Right in front of turtle bay beach. Great for family

We had a wonderful 4 night stay to celebrate our 40th Wedding anniversary. Our two adult children made the journey from different parts of the world to be with us. We all had a fabulous time

This is a beautiful villa. Everything was as described and pictured. I loved that it was spacious and had plenty of seating in the living and dining areas. Views were wonderful. I spent every morning sitting out on the patio just enjoying the ocean view.

I can only speak for the bed in the master bedroom, and it was very comfortable. The bathroom had lot of room to move about. The bathtub... wow! It's huge! the only challenge is that the water heater isn't... so you really can't make use of such a big tub.

The kitchen is a nice size, with everything you could need for cooking and eating. They have lots of glasses and dishes. We did very little cooking, but it wouldn't have been a problem at all. Extra bonus for having a good blender.

The storage locker with boogie boards and snorkel gear etc is a fantastic perk. Very nice to have easy access to those things - the locker is practically across the hall, so it's very convenient.

The resort itself is nice. We ate at most of the restaurants. I highly recommend Roy's next door. Great food! Lei Lei's was my least favorite. Everything is in very short walking distance.

So my only negatives on the place are the AC and the beach. Obviously the latter has nothing to do with the villa, but I found the sand very coarse and squishy. Just not something I enjoyed. It's beautiful though. My issue with the AC is that the temperature is regulated to what I consider fairly high temperatures. The rules are that you can't go below 74. For anyone who sleeps warm, this can be a challenge. I never have my house that warm, so it was a problem for me.

All in all, a wonderful place to stay. Beautiful views, plenty of room for a family. Everything in very good condition. We enjoyed staying there.

Manager's Response

Wonderful location , location, location!

We stayed at villa 103 for 5 nights. We were attending the Billabong Pipe Masters and Oceanfront had been recommended to us by former colleagues from Billabong. We were very happy with all aspects of our stay at Turtle Bay and with everything to do with our villa. It was very clean, well maintained and the beds were large and very comfortable. It had every appliance we could possibly have needed.
If we come back to the North Shore again we will certainly stay at Turtle Bay and with Oceanfront. All aspects of dealing with the Oceanfront team were easy.
We had a wonderful dinner at Roy's restaurant.

Great place to stay

Villa exceeded our expectations and we couldn't ask for a better location. Everything was just as Vince described if not better. We are already planning our next vacation to the North Shore and more specifically, Villa 103 at The Villas at Turtle Bay!

This place is great! Easy access to pool and beach and very family friendly. Highly recommended!

Everything about this property was perfect for our 3-generation family to enjoy. Less than a minute walk to the beach, beautiful sunrise and sunset views, access to hotel restaurants, fully equipped kitchen and free use of beach toys. Will be top choice next time we come to the North Shore.

This is stunning property. We splurged on these accommodations and it was well worth it. We also rented the adjoining (had a pass thru door) studio next store #102 to accommodate our large party. Unit # 102 was just as fabulous. Both units were impeccable and extremely comfortable and spacious inside. The Master suite is huge and all the bedrooms are very private from the rest of the unit. THE VIEWS ARE AMAZING! The pool, beach and Roy’s restaurant are literally steps away. The units are as beautiful as the pictures depict. Helicopter rides, bike rentals, golf club are all within walking distance. The Turtle Bay Resort is also a short walk away for restaurants and booking excursions. The beach lockers are full of items for your convenience. Assigned parking was conveniently close to the unit. The complex itself is really quiet. We had 6 adults and a 9 month old. There was a pack and play and high chair in each unit which were like brand new. We were all so impressed with this property and so happy we decided to rent these villas.

We had an amazing time from the point we booked the villa until the time we left. Booking was super easy. Our flight was delayed(as usual with United) and my brother and sister in law were having issues with the gate code. I called Vince and he was super nice and helpful. He was very pleasant to work with. Gina also answered any questions we had. She was also very pleasant to work with. The villa was perfect. Perfect location, perfect size, perfect everything. If you are looking for an amazing villa on the North Shore, look no further. Thank you for a great vacation!

It was a great experience for our family. The location is amazing, both beach and the pool are very accessible for small kids and weak swimmers, as well as there are areas for strong swimmers and surfers alike.
