Honu Kai Hideaway is like a treehouse with views of ocean, golf course and mountains. We are nestled among the trees and lush landscaping of the spectacular Turtle Bay Resort, an 880 acre tropical paradise. Our Hideaway is the perfect blend of tropical seclusion amidst many of the amenities offered by a world class resort. We are located on the 2nd floor. There are 15 steps leading up the stairs.
Honu Kai Hideaway is remarkably more light and airy than other Kuilima Estate condos because additional large windows showcase our expansive view with a 'treetop' feel. The private Lanai is perfect for relaxing outdoors or enjoying meals al fresco.
As you may notice by our reviews, we receive many 5 stars. We are so grateful that our guests love our family vacation home as we do! However, we are NOT a 5 star resort according to hotel ratings. For those of you with 4 or 5 star hotel tastes, you might consider other options for places to stay. Honu Kai Hideaway is our family vacation home that we elect to also use as a vacation rental. It is furnished for active people on-the-go. Also, as a vacation rental, we do not offer concierge service. We are happy to try our best to assist you while you stay with us, but we are not a 24 hour concierge service. If you desire this kind of service, please consider staying at Turtle Bay Resort. Guests who enjoy Vacation Rentals over hotels do so because of the privacy and independence that a Vacation Rental offers.
The condo is fully furnished including a small flat screen HD TV, WIFI, and Cable TV. (However, it should be noted that Internet service and Wi Fi are often spotty and intermittent on the North Shore).
Because screened doors and windows are often left open to allow tropical breezes to flow throughout the condo, we have elected to use high quality outdoor furniture in the living room. The frames are made of all weather woven resin wicker for easy and long maintenance.
The kitchen is full-sized with stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and microwave. (Barbecues are available poolside). A washer and dryer is included within the unit. The bedroom offers a Cal King bed with air conditioning in the bedroom.
Air conditioning is now offered in the living room! We would appreciate your assistance in saving energy by turning off the air conditioning when you are not there. Mahalo for saving Hawaii’s energy.
Honu Kai Hideaway is located along the renowned stretch of beaches that make up Oahu's North Shore. The North Shore is known for country living, relaxed lifestyle, beautiful surfing beaches, eclectic shopping and pleasurable restaurants.
Honu Kai Hideaway is located on the East side of Kuilima Estates and is surrounded by two championship golf courses. Some of the amenities available to guests include tennis courts and two swimming pools each of which includes a barbeque area. A short walk and you are at the Turtle Bay Hotel which has many terrific restaurants, a great pool bar, entertainment and magnificent beaches. There are many activities on the property that can be booked at either the Hotel concierge desk or the Activities Center. One can choose from horseback riding, bicycle or moped rentals, surf lessons and helicopter rides. Golf can be booked at the golf pro shop which is also home to Lei Lei’s restaurant a favorite of locals.
Fabulous eating options abound within the Resort and on the North Shore. A scenic 15-30 ...

After staying four nights in the hustle and bustle of Waikiki, my wife and I were looking forward to our North Shore stay. It was super easy to pick up the key and find the condo. What a great location, in Turtle Bay without having to pay the Turtle Bay prices. The condo had everything we needed plus some beach chairs and umbrella which came in handy. The room air conditioner was a bonus. It was very peaceful and quiet. There are several beaches within walking distance and some great hiking/ running trails . Lots of great food places just a short drive away including Ted’s bakery( Great pie and donuts), Giovanni’s shrimp truck and lots of food trucks that we did takeout and brought back to the condo. Hale’iwa town had lots of great food and shops too including Matsumoto shaved ice. We also rented kayaks and paddled up a river there. We did a lot and nothing was really that far away. If you’re looking for a great place to stay, you can’t go wrong here.😀

Perfect location for two people. End unit on upper floor gives you privacy and an amazing view. Because of the breeze, rarely had to turn on the air conditioning. Comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and beautiful balcony overlooking the golf course. Ten minute walk to the resort. Five out of five stars!

The location was ideal for us. It was an easy drive to Kahuku and Haleiwa for lots of restaurant/food truck options. Only a 15 minute drive to Foodland groceries in Pupukea. We ventured to the windward side as well as Ka'aena State park and felt the condo was perfectly located.

This condo has everything you need for a comfortable stay on the North Shore. Brian is an excellent host. When we needed the lights fixed he responded right away.
The condo is near beautiful beaches, nice hikes and good eating places. Every night we watched the sunset from Turtle Bay. It is truly a hidden gem.

The condo was cute and in good condition and very well stocked. Many good surprises I wouldn't have expected to be supplied with. The condo was in one of the best locations in the entire property - it was like a treehouse tucked in among the vegetation surrounding the golf course AND there was a peek-a-boo view of the ocean. Sunrises were beautiful! Communication with the owners was great.

Nice place, well stocked w/everything. Really appreciated the beach chairs! Comfortable bed & pillows. Instructions to pick up key in big red mailbox is wrong, it’s black. Needs a working fan in the bathroom to vent steam. The two cockroaches (under living room windows) were a surprise, since we didn’t have ann food out. Thank you for responding to our questions regarding the washer promptly.

Nice property located close to resort, ocean/beach, golf. Short drives to other attractions. Property was nice, and clean. Bathroom could use a remodel, and no exhaust fan. Enjoyed the breeze through the unit at all times of day.

Stayed here for our daughter’s wedding nearby. Unit is very well appointed and clean with great light and a nice view. A few minor issues but Brian, the owner, readily resolved.

Spent the last four nights of our multi-island vacation here, good location for a relaxing stop before going home.
