About this apartment rental
ESCAPE THE CROWDS AT THE QUIET END OF KUILIMA ESTATES WEST, JUST STEPS FROM THE RITZ-CARLTON O’AHU, TURTLE BAY. Wake to fairway views from the comfort of your private lanai; end the day with ocean sunsets just across the golf course. Locally known as the “Gold Coast,” your unit is perched on the 1st fairway of the Fazio Course — the most peaceful corner of the property.
THE UNIT: Tastefully updated ground-floor 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo (~780 sq ft) with travertine floors, granite countertops, and a Bali-meets-Hawaii feel. Sleeps up to 4 — queen bed in the A/C-cooled bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room. Fully equipped kitchen, two 55" 4K smart TVs (one in the living room, one in the bedroom), washer/dryer, dishwasher, WiFi, books, and a private lanai that’s perfect for morning coffee or sunset cocktails.
THE VIEW FROM YOUR LANAI: The 1st fairway of the Fazio Course in the foreground, the tree-lined coastline beyond, and west-facing sunsets through the trees. Quiet, private, and shaded — the “Gold Coast” gets less foot and car traffic than the rest of the property.
A SHORT WALK AWAY:
Stables Beach — 0.3 miles (about a 5-minute walk)
The Ritz-Carlton O’ahu, Turtle Bay — restaurants, pool bar, surf cove, walking trails
Kawela Bay — under 1 mile via the forest trail; a hidden, reef-protected bay with green sea turtles and a famous banyan tree (featured in _Lost_ and _Pirates of the Caribbean_)
ON-SITE AT KUILIMA ESTATES WEST: Three swimming pools, two tennis courts (with pickleball lines, nets, and paddles), manicured grounds, walking paths, free on-site parking, and a gated entrance with security.
IMPORTANT — ABOUT THE RITZ-CARLTON RESORT ACCESS: Kuilima Estates is a privately-owned condominium complex next to The Ritz-Carlton O’ahu, Turtle Bay. We are not affiliated with the hotel, and our guests do NOT have access to the Ritz-Carlton’s pool, jacuzzi, spa, or gym. The good news: you have full access to all THREE KUILIMA ESTATES POOLS, and the Ritz-Carlton’s restaurants, surf cove, golf, horse stables, walking/biking trails, and shops are all open to the public just a short walk away.
RESTAURANTS WITHIN WALKING DISTANCE: Lei Lei’s Bar & Grill at the Fazio clubhouse, Roy’s Beach House, Alaia, Off the Lip, Ho’olana, and the poolside bar at the Ritz-Carlton. Local favorites a short drive away include Kahuku Sugar Mill food trucks and restaurants, Ted’s Bakery, and Seven Brothers.
DRIVING DISTANCES: 4 miles to Sunset Beach and Pipeline · 12 miles to historic Haleiwa town · 15 miles to the Polynesian Cultural Center · 45 minutes to Honolulu Airport · 6 hours from the West Coast.
HOUSE RULES: 3-night minimum. No pets. No smoking. No events. Check-in after 3 PM, check-out before 11 AM. Minimum age to rent: 21.
LEGAL VACATION RENTAL: #90/TVU-0580 · TAT #TA-184-988-0576-01. All fees included — no hidden charges. Kuilima Estates is one of the few legally permitted short-term rental areas on Oahu’s North Shore.

We had a wonderful day and the property was clean and tidy and perfectly suited for us
8 / 10Excellent·Jun 2026
Great location, away from the crowded city, access to beaches is great. Overall a great place to stay. It will help if the bedroom curtains were darker to avoid the early sun light.The place is worth it. We loved it.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
Everything as advertised and no surprises and great location. We will be back
6 / 10Average·Nov 2025
Laundry soap pods hard. Couch uncomfortable. Patio chairs rusty or broken. No bathroom vent. Bedroom sliding doir should have security bars so it can be opened for airflow like the front door.
