Our family of five (three kids ages 11,7,&8) stayed for a week and it was the highlight of our trip! The free washing machine and dryer helped us to not have to pack so much. The owners are very kind and attentive. They let us borrow some of their boogie boards and beach chairs when we spent a day at Hukilau beach. It was amazing waking up to the sun rise every day. The beach was great for our kids (not too rough, not too deep). We love the north shore area of Oahu and will always stay here when we visit.

We booked this stay for April 2020, which obviously we had to rebook. After some negotiation, we were given full credit to rebook a year later. It seemed to be a perfect destination for our honeymoon- beach front, quiet, no crowds. However, upon our arrival, we were greeted with three children screaming next door and loud music playing. The beach front rental we booked does have a privacy screen on the patio but it's pretty much a shard patio. No matter- we will just lounge on the beach and enjoy our homemade beverages. Unfortunately, the hurricane like wind prevented that. It was so windy that we didn't even use the lounge chairs or picnic table outside. The waves on the beach were too intense due to the weather, so we attempted to find calmer beaches...no luck on the north side. Rip currents were everywhere. Okay, how about a nice dinner? Nope- your only option is roadside shrimp or a taqueria, which was fine, but not what we had anticipated. McDonald's had coffee since our place wasn't furnished with any. There are grocery stores nearby, so that's where we got some food. Everything shuts down around 9.The management was responsive to the complaints we had of the children, but you're pretty much at the mercy of whomever is staying next to you since it's an intimate setting and thin walls. Oh, and I hope you like roosters being raised in a dilapidated house next door. After another day of failing to find a beach we could swim in, we came home to find a giant sewer cockroach in the bathroom. That was the final straw. We headed to Waikiki and enjoyed sunshine, calm warm waters, and a wonderful dinner out. Yes, it was crowded, but the water made everything better. The windward side is very authentic...very windy and rainy when the other side is not, and sparse as far as eateries go. It just wasn't the honeymoon we imagined. We asked for at least a night refund (we left two nights early) but didn't get a response to that at all.

We got married at Tiki Moon Villas July 21st this year. We got exactly what we wanted for our 5 day vacation-wedding. We booked the Tiki Moon Event 6. It included 6 different units. It housed 30 family members including my husband & I. The compound is roomy for 30 people to come & go. There's tons of parking too. The best part for everybody was that the compound is oceanfront! Some of the units are not oceanfront, but it's literally steps away. Our family kept asking "How did you find this place? Did someone recommend this to you?" My response was always "I found it on Yelp!"We planned everything from Southern California. We heavily relied on online sources & reviews to make caterer, rental, photographer, cake, flower & entertainment decisions. They were a shot in the dark, but luckily it all worked out. Azlina was accommodating & replied quickly to emails. If you are looking for a laid back venue for a small destination wedding, I really recommend this place. My wedding had 45 people. To me, Tiki Moon felt like my home away from home. My husband & I had all our family there. Most of them helped us with preparations. Everything we needed was available on site or from local stores nearby. After our morning wedding & reception, we cleaned up, put our bathing suits on & jumped in the water! It really was a perfect day!We also had a friend come and teach us acro yoga the next day. Azlina & Ray even joined us! She also lent us some yoga mats to use. A really wonderful place! In fact we've already booked to go back next year for our anniversary!

We rented out the entire property for 3 days for our destination wedding with 35 friends and family. We had some family staying at the Marriott hotel just a short walking distance and the rest were on the property. Since we live in CA we were planning everything from afar without a planner and I can tell you that this property is even more beautiful in person than pictures do it justice. We loved that each villa was very clean and fully equipped so our friends and family felt like they had their own space but we could all come together on the beach or in the common areas like under the lighted patio. There is also an outside tv that worked perfectly for playing our rehearsal dinner slideshow.We paid a $2100 event fee for the wedding day but had parties each night grilling out so it was well worth it. Since it was a March wedding, there were rain showers the first two nights on the property but we were able to hang out under the patio and we also rented a tent. We got super lucky that on the actual wedding day it didn't rain at all and we even saw humpback whales breaching in the water right in front of the property! it was amazing.I would highly recommend TMV for any brides that are looking for a property to have an intimate wedding with family and friends all staying in one place, where you can DIY the whole thing like we did with the help of other amazing vendors like Keneke's grill and Waiahole Nursery for food and flowers, Costco for alcohol, and Mersadi Olson photography.

The spot was the perfect getaway after a very strange year for my family and me. While it was windy and a little cold at times (early April), it was a beautiful and serene landscape with good amenities and nearby activities such as food trucks, Turtle Bay beach, and the Polynesian Cultural Center all close by. What made it the best...the staff - particularly Jacob, who welcomed our fam and made our 2, 3, and 9 year olds feel like the whole place was ours. Jacob was excellent with the kids and included them in the daily fish feeding and was genuinely interested in our family and our stay. Thank you Jacob; thank you Tiki Moon.

DONT EVER DO YOUR VACATION RENTAL GET AWAY AT THIS PLACE! The owners are very rude and there are landlords that are staying upstairs without your knowledge before staying at the rental! Everything that was included in the rental, most of it was broken. No grills, no kayaks, TV is broken, etc. This definitely ruined our vacation getaway and please do not make your stay over here. TERRIBLE. It doesn't even deserve 1 star.

A few friends and I just graduated from Nursing school and we thought we'd celebrate by staying over at a beach house for a few days. Best decision ever! It was amazing!The driveway was a little hidden so keep in mind once you pass the Polynesian Culture Center, keep a look out for the mail box with the address 55-373 Kamehameha Highway. We rented the Aloha Sunrise 2 bedroom unit and there was more than enough space for 5 of us. When we got there, I believe it was Ray that was there to meet us at the door. He brought us into the house and gave us a quick tour of the inside & outside areas. Azlina also came to greet us later during the night & she was very nice and let us know that they're right next door if we needed anything. The beach is literally right outside your door. It was really windy during the days we were there but it was still beautiful. We loved the convenience of the location, just a short drive in either direction will take you to Foodland, Longs, and 7-11 to name a few. So if you just so happen to forget to bring anything, it's not hard to find somewhere to go buy another one. The pictures don't do this place justice. It's way more beautiful in person in comparison to the photos. The house itself was beautifully decorated which gave it that complete Hawaiian beach house vibe. This particular unit didn't have A/C but with the winds, we definitely didn't need it. There were big windows on the beach side of the house so that you could peek out to see the beach and even watch the sunrise/sunset. The living room had two sofas that turned into queen size beds, the master room had a King bed with a complete bathroom that included a walk-in shower and a bath tub, and the second room had a Queen size. So much sleeping space! The unit also included a washer/dryer and a bunch of kitchen appliances (no rice cooker though so if you're like us and love your rice, bring your own!). Also included is cable & wi-fi! Overall, we had an absolute blast and I'm so glad we chose to go to this place. We'll definitely be back!ALSO, there's this super sweet cat that roams around the house. The owners of the place said his name is Holler. It took all my strength not to take him home with me! lol :)

This place is AMAZING!!! We stayed for the minimum for 2 night at the Bamboo Hale 1 bedroom. Even though its location is directly across the Polynesian Culture Center on the main road, noise was not even an issue. Believe me, once we walked through those doors, our worries were gone and we were transported into a peaceful, beautiful, and relaxing paradise. It was so convenient that everything was provided for us to enjoy ourselves. Also, we loved how it is PET FRIENDLY! The staff, including Azlina and Ray was so helpful, friendly and patient with us that they surpass all expectations. We will definitely be back and this time stay much longer.Tip: To view photos or video of the villas, check out their website. Also, booking your stay last minute by phone may give you a special 10% discount on the available units.

Horrible!!! We didnt even get to stay here because the owners were so rude and canceled our reservation for no reason. All we did was ask if we could have an extra person and the lady i was communicating with, Azlina just canceled it without even allowing us to come with the correct number of people. After that she was so rude and never responded to my emails. Then once i told her we had found another place, 2 fraudulent charges showed up on my credit card statement to air bnb. Hmmm sounds fishy. Dont book your stay here. The owners have no problem screwing you over. Worst customer service and just the worst selfish people.

After all the positive reviews I saw online I decided this was a perfect getaway for our thirty third wedding anniversary.Having been to Honolulu several times I thought this might be a nice alternative to Waikiki.The accommodations were okay but, nothing like the more palatial pictures.Our unit had a king bed in a small dark bedroom.Personally,I thought a redo was in order.The bathroom was fine but, nothing special.Kitchen area was nice with granite counters & a bar area.Living room had an inexpensive leather sofa , and a high "Balinese"carved bed.Pretty but, not really practical.There were no tables or lamps which didn't help with reading.The outside was well kept,tropical and had plenty of chaises to relax in .The complex is right on the water but,the area is not really swimmable.Next door is a farm of sorts and we had visiting chickens & chicks .Laie is a DRY town which means no restaurant ( not many) serves alcohol nor do the stores.Why? Because it is a Mormon town with a branch of BYU there.Your nearest decent restaurant is six miles away at the golf club at Turtle Bay .Otherwise , you must drive twenty miles to Haleiwa .All in all,wasn't our best trip to Hawaii.Too remote, too far to drive for decent restaurants,and for $325 a night not worth it.Really needs a redo .We missed Waikiki
