Please note: Due to a building piping alteration, as of September 2023 we had to renovate the unit and have updated the tiles, paint, bathroom and patio slightly from the original unit as photographed and evidenced in the professional photos in our photo gallery and taken in June 2021. Photos taken with iPhone are interspersed in the photo gallery in which you’ll note a lighter tiling and a gray-white hue to the paint. We are awaiting an update on another photographer photo session soon. Many guests ask about Turtle Bay Resort and what is and is not available to you while staying at Pua Oriana. For this I am here to help! Most of the Resort amenities are accessible and available to short term renters of Kuilima Estates— such as restaurants, bars, horses back riding, surf lessons, golf, beach and spa. Kuilima Estates are separate but the resort is open to the public and is a short walk away (we are all one big community). The walk is approximately 5 mins. What is a bit difficult is the Resorts pools… We have 4 pools on the Kuilima Estates property, and Turtle Bay has 3. The beautiful Resort pool bar is open to Kuilima guests, and while the pool is meant to be reserved for Resort guests, I have known many at the Resort to be lenient to those that are paying for food and or drink from the Poolside bar :-). So while not a guarantee, hopefully helpful! The condo is a ground floor unit, private enclosed patio at the front. Two beautiful pools with tile work of Hawaiian Honu (sea turtles) at the bottom are just a short walk away, as are two tennis courts. Beach, walking and biking trials are all in walking distance! Walking distance to the world-renown Turtle Bay Resort, complete with spa, adult swimming pool four 3-star+ restaurants, 2 pool side bars, an 18-hole Palmer golf course an 18-hole Fazio golf course. There is a The Bus stop directly out the Parking Lot area. There is a parking spot provided, and ample additional guest parking. Pricing and Value is always of question for people when the come to Hawaii. Hawaii is considered “expensive” for many, and if you’ve been to some newer destinations with newer condos and hotels (think Bali) some people are wondering what is the appeal. For us, it’s the culture, the location, the safety and security (as a US state), and the food and drink that make Hawaii a hard destination to beat. Pua Oriana is part of Kuilima Estates here on the north shore of Oahu which were finished in the 70s / 80s. The lush landscaping and the shared development with Turtle Bay Resort mean that the location is well kept albeit 40+ years old. The interiors of the condo have recently been redone and we have poured our culture and our hearts into its details. Because housing and short term stays are so limited on the north shore of Oahu, our pricing reflects that and fluctuates with market demand. Sometimes nightly rates are lower, sometimes they are higher, often selected by Airbnb algorithm. We really want to be honest and open — that what sets Pua Oriana apart is our commitment to making you feel comfortable, and that you can access treasures of Hawaii that only a Hawaiian / Polynesian family with roots here can provide. We want every guest to leave feeling they had good value for money. You are the center of everything we do.
