This was our first time staying in Ko Olina and we are so happy that we chose to stay at the beach villas vs the Marriott or Aulani next door. This property was so quiet and peaceful compared to the other resorts! The unit was spacious and well appointed and was such a good fit for a family with two teens…would definitely stay here again!

What a fantastic stay at Khoi's place in Ko Olina. It was better than described and from the photos. High on the 7th floor we had views West of the ocean and pools from both Lanai's chilling out. Everything we needed was provided from boogie boards, beach towels and chairs for the beach a 5-minute walk away. In addition to a fully equipped kitchen to enjoy preparing our meals in the suite or lounging from take out. We lived and experienced the Aloha spirit first hand for a week. A calm, quiet, and less congested break from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki. Discovered that the adjacent Four Seasons resort, has a Spa that offers Tennis and Pickle ball court rentals as an added plus. Much Mahalo

This condo was perfect for our family vacation!! The facility is amazing, the location is great with many restaurants and stores in walking distance, and the beach was never crowded! There is a beautiful koi pond where the kids can feed the fish daily. The condo itself was even better than advertised with great beach and pool views. It was stocked with anything you could need and had plenty of space. There is also a private airport lounge in Honolulu you can use if you stay here! We would definitely stay here again!!

The condo was great. Very roomy, beautiful views of the water. Our kids enjoyed the lagoons and the pools. Parking spot was a bit of a hike but that wasn’t a big deal. We would definitely go back.

The property was perfect for us (4 adults and one infant). The lagoon was perfect for snorkelling and we did see different kinds of fish every time we went out. The sand bottom kids pool was my son's favourite. It was made to look like a small lagoon and it wasn't fine sand, just really tiny pebbles so it doesn't get *everywhere* like sand does. The koi feeding was also a huge hit with our group.
As for the condo, it was beautiful but needs a few minor cosmetic fixes to bring it back up to the luxury property it was meant to be. Little things like the bath mats should be replaced as they are very clearly showing their age. The fake plants and candles throughout the property need to be wiped down as they are covered in a later of dust. One of the kitchen cabinets has a loose hinge with a screw that needs to be replaced. The shower door needs a good scrubbing as it has a thin film of soap scum over the bottom half. The non-slip strips on the tubs were discoloured and when you use the shower in the second bathroom, more water came out of the lower tap than the shower head.
Overall, I would definitely stay here again. Everything we needed was readily available and it was a great place to just relax

The villa/condo was just as shown and described in the listing. The kitchen and main living area was super spacious, and it was great having two full bathrooms for our family of five. The lanai was probably our favorite part - the glass doors open all the way (and slide into the wall), and we spent quite a bit of time sitting on the lanai and enjoying the sights and sounds of the ocean and the pools.
The villa included everything you could need for a beach vacation - beach towels, boogie boards, sand toys, snorkel equipment, and beach chairs. It was great not to have to drag that stuff with us in suitcases from home.
Communication with the owner and check-in process were super easy.
We will definitely stay at this property again on our next visit to Oahu.

Good place to stay with kids. Only issue was a warning regarding issues with the balcony railings for this unit which was not communicated to us prior to the stay. Not a deal breaker but may be issue with small kids.

We enjoyed an amazing 7 nights here. We could not think of a more perfect place where our family could make memories. We spent hours on the lanai just enjoying the view. This condo is superb and has everything you could need during your stay. The beds were very comfortable, the kitchen has everything you need to make a meal. We loved having towels, and snorkel gear available to us. The snorkel gear wasn’t the best but served it’s purpose. The laundry is available but keep in mind it is a ventless drying so it takes at least 3-5 hours to dry a load. There are plenty of restaurants nearby along with a market that has some food. My advice is to make reservations for meals weeks in advance if you can. The communication was excellent before and during our stay. The pools and beach were not crowded unlike many neighboring hotels. We are counting thr minutes until we can return.

This is a great place to stay. 2 adults and 4 children with plenty of space for all of us. The condo has just about everything you'll need. Beautifully kept common areas. The only thing that could use improvement is the cleaning. There was built-up dust surrounding the beds, a dead cockroach under the bathroom vanity, and a soiled oven mitt and towel left in the washer. Everything else seemed very clean. Would definitely recommend.

We started our stay at this gorgeous property with a friendly greeting and property tour from Chelsea, who showed us all of the above and beyond elements to this resort condo. The owner was friendly, responsive and wonderful. The doors fully opened to a beautiful view, the condo was clean and had all of the amenities we needed for our family including tommy bahama beach chairs and umbrella. The beds were extremely comfortable (we are picky) and the kitchen was impeccable. The bathrooms were spacious and the soaking tubs were a favorite of ours. This condo was the absolute best! On select nights we could hear live music from rhe balcony, just perfect!

This was our family’s first trip to the island of Oahu. This place knocked it out if the park.
Highlights on location:
The beach is right there at your doorstep
Feels quiet and private at all times
Parking is abundant
Easy access to the highway you want to get in your car a explore the island.
Highlights of condo:
Plenty of space for everyone
Comfortable beds
Proximity to the lagoon/beach
Kitchen had everything you will ever need
Furnishing and decor was very nice
Lanai was great! Spent most of our time just sitting there and enjoying the ocean breeze.
We absolutely love this place and will stay here again.

Great location and great property! Having beach chairs and snorkel equipment available at the rental was very helpful. Pictures of the unit are accurate and are exactly as the unit is. We loved staying here and would again. The view is amazing! The parking spot is a distance away from elevator used to go up to the unit, but it was nice to have a designated parking spot, and we usually just dropped people and any belongings off at the elevator before parking. The distance from the room to the beach is a bit of a walk, but it’s a nice walk through the pools and koi ponds (which were beautiful and very well maintained!) No issues with either the parking or the walk to the beach, just relaying info for other folks who book this place. We would definitely recommend this place.

From our first view of the property on line to our last step on the property, everything was perfect. The pictures of the property are an accurate reflection. In person it was perfect in every way for 4 adults (2couples). Easy shopping for meals in and great restaurants within walking distance for meals out. Great lagoon access. Saw whales breeching while watching one of many beautiful sunsets. We will be back for sure

This property was as described and host was wonderful. Beach is very swimmable there and peaceful. Condo was well appointed and luxurious. There was a dramatic incident involving drunk guests at the hotel in the middle of the night. While the hotel handled it very poorly the owner was superb and tried to help as much as he could.

The location of this unit was perfect-great views of the ocean and overlooked the quiet pool. The beach is so close and easy to access. There were lots of kid beach/pool toys in the closet and my 2 kids really enjoyed these. We had 4 adults and 2 kids stay and there was plenty of room. Unit was clean and well equipped.

We had a great time. Khoi’s place is as good as advertised. Very clean and basically have everything that our family of four needs. It was spacious for our family of four. We have a toddler with us and it was great that a pack and play and child booster seat was available. The beach villa overall is a great family oriented place. We would definitely love to stay there again.

This unit is located at KBV in the beautiful Ko Olina area of Oahu, which is much quieter and quainter than what you will find in Waikiki which is exactly what we wanted! Kitchen is very modern and fully equipped with everything you need, bathrooms are very spacious as are the bedrooms and the best part is the lanai where you can take in gorgeous sunrises and sunsets! Several pool options, close access to a nice kid friendly beach area and a pool bar make this place perfect for families! We had a wonderful time and would highly recommend!

It was very hard to leave this luxurious apartment every day to go to my morning medical conference hosted at the nearby Disney hotel. Luckily, Khoi Dang's place had all the beach supplies needed for my family to load up in the car and scoop me up and turn my day into fun in the sun. Great spot. Too short. Would definitely come back here when it's all vacation time!

This property was beautiful and ideal for our group. The condo was spacious and well kept with chairs, beach towels, and a cooler that made going to the beach super easy and relaxing. Great kitchen for making meals and snacks. The view from the lanai was gorgeous, making it perfect for relaxing and especially ideal for those in our group who wanted to stay out of the sun, but wanted the view! It was easy to book, check in, and communicate any concerns with the owner and manager. Love, love, love this place and will stay here again!

Boy, where do I even start? The home was exceptional. The layout and use of space was really well done so it always felt really spacious there even with 3 adults, 1 toddler, and an infant. The beds were SOOOOOO comfortable, when we did get a chance to sleep, we slept well! There's a futon type couch in the living room, a pack-n-play, high chair for the dinning table, and tons and tons of beach equipment including beach chairs, floaties, mats, pool noodles, towels, etc. The kitchen has everything you need as far as cookware and dinnerware. There are basic spices left behind by previous renters so check those first before you buy a bunch of stuff. There's a Keurig coffee maker, but you'll need to buy the pods.
The lanai is huge and fantastic to hang out on plus since it doesn't get direct sunlight all the time, it's super pleasant to sit to enjoy the BEAUTIFUL view of the ocean or have meals...or morning coffee. It's a short 3 min walk for adults or 7-10min walk with a barely walking infant down to the lagoon. This is my umpteenth time on Oahu and I have to say this is my FAVORITE beach/lagoon if you have kids under 10. The water is crystal clear and there are hardly any breaks so the kids feel comfortable (and so do you) in the water without the fear of riptides, jellyfish, insert scary sea creature here. There are also 4 pools, 3 hot tubs, several grills, and gorgeous koi ponds as you walk to the beach.
On the resort, there's an ABC store called Island Market. Super convenient; they have EVERYTHING you could need, but if they don't, Target and Costco is not far away!
Almost every day we woke up, had breakfast, walked to the lagoon ...then went back lunch/nap, then went back to the lagoon until dinner time. The kids LOVED it. I would rent this property again in a heartbeat. Completely worth every single penny...and Khoi was a really great host! Always available to answer any questions we had, very quickly.

Aloha, folks! We travelled at the end of January, 2022.
Owner Khoi is quick to respond. Lynn was our in-person contact and was quick to respond and added a great personal touch. I do want to recognize Ejay. He checked us in and out and was awesome.
The unit was beautiful. The views are excellent. There are really three lanais, the main that has pocket doors that slide into the wall and open up to bring the outside in, and each bedroom has its own lanai, one of which has a panoramic view of the ocean and lagoons.
The kitchen is entirely high-end. The dishes are all Mikasa. Plenty of everything, including a rice cooker. A nice variety of seasonings, spices, etc. Two kinds of coffee makers, including a Keurig for those that like to use K-cups. You like beer? Make a pit stop at either Kapolei Costco or Walmart.
They water pressure in the shower is amazing. The washer and dryer are higher end and functional. Smaller than what you may be used to.
Plenty of beach towels, cooler, snorkel gear, beach chairs, etc. We did not use most, so cannot speak to its quality.
Parking spot is OT047. Pay attention. I missed it and found BT047. Fortunately, a vehicle was parked in what I thought was my spot. Had it not been there, I would've parked in someone else's spot. As far as parking distance to our stack of elevators, it was fine. By the way, our elevator stack to reach the unit is 9 and 10. Tip, if you have lots to carry from the vehicle, just drop it off near the elevator with a passenger. Then go park. Not a big deal and hardly a burden. The actual parking spot is perfect. Only one neighbor and very wide. Notice, some owners paid for very tight parking spots. Not Khoi. He paid for a beauty.
The grounds are amazing. I have been fortunate to travel. The koi pond and river. Wow. These koi and the water they inhabit are about as nice as I have ever seen. Crystal clear water, all kinds of colors of the koi, massive in size, beautiful falls, heavenly and therapeutic. The pools are very nice for all ages.
The sunsets and our Lagoon 2 (Honu). Oh man! So beautiful. We really had the best lagoon as it was the quietest. Cabanas on property are free. They are not at Aulani or the Marriott. Upwards of $65 a day.
Bottom line. You will be thrilled with the unit, grounds and property. We faced some rehab work on the property across the way and everything was still beautiful.
Mahalo!

We just returned from a Christmas week vacation. We are a family of 5, with 3 teenagers.
This property was excellent from top to bottom. The check-in process was easy and the parking was convenient. The covid protocols at the resort were in effect and adhered to. The elevators were readily available and never occupied. The unit itself was great - 7th floor, ocean views, pool views. The balconies were spacious and the patio furniture was comfortable; we could see whales daily from the balconies. The rooms were comfortable, clean, and as described. The kitchen was very well appointed and had everything you could want/need.
The owners left beach chairs, a beach cooler, beach towels, boogie boards, snorkel gear for guests to use, and they were much appreciated. The lagoon beach was perfect for sun lounging and swimming/snorkeling.
The location of the property made it easy to explore Oahu. It is close to Honolulu but away from the hustle and bustle.
Overall, an amazing vacation experience - highly recommend!

Our stay at this property was exceptional I. Quality and comfort from the day we checked in her til departure. In the newly furnished two bedroom is spacious with comfortable beds and generous living spaces. I had frequent communication with the owners and property management I was never without support if needed.
The location could not be more ideal. We’ve enjoyed the coves of Ko Olina for years and this is the most pristine and least trafficked beachfront. It’s perfectly manicured and wide beachfront allows for spacious relaxation and calm waterfront play. As with any rental property, you will need to supply your own groceries but virtually everything else is provided. Private parking, and tower specific elevator access prove to be and easy to navigate in and out experience. We highly recommend this property and will likely be back to visit again soon.

We had a nice stay during the week between Christmas and New Years. The views from the condo are breathtaking and the unit was clean and well stocked when we arrived. Master bathroom is spacious and well appointed. Linens and towels in the rooms were 5 star hotel quality. The bedrooms were a little tighter than we expected and the living room furniture could use updating, but we were too busy enjoying ourselves at the fabulous beach to really notice.

This condo was exactly as the photos showed. The experience was even better to hear the ocean waves from our place. The pools were quiet most of the time. The pathway was wonderful for short walks along the ocean. The condo was just perfect for two couples!. We spent a lot of time sitting on the patio. The location of Ko'Olina was ideal, away from the crowds but close enough to trek around the island easily. I would stay here again! Thank you.

Our family of four ( teenagers 17 & 14 years ) had a wonderful 10 night stay during December.
We were so pleased with the apartment it was spacious and the separation of the bedrooms on either side of the living area worked well. I especially loved the large ensuite bathroom and gorgeous kitchen. The lanai was also a favourite place for the family it was a good size with very comfortable furniture for lounging.
The grounds of the apartment are beautiful and the extra ammenities such as the gym and pools were well used by our family.
We loved walking every morning on the walking path that went from the beach villas to the Four Seasons and back around to the Marina. We also tried most of the Resturants in the area it was great bring able to walk to them all! Shopping was a 5-10 minute drive away and Waikele outlet mall 15 minutes away.
A wonderful relaxing family holiday thanks Khoi for the use of your apartment Ko Olina is a special place.

I cannot express enough how beautiful not only the unit was, but the area. The owners and everyone on the property were great, helpful and very responsive. The condo unit is so comfortable and feels like home, everything you need is already there. Even on the property, we were able to walk to the marina and take a snorkel cruise, have a beautiful Thanksgiving dinner at MonkeyPod Kitchen and the property is so centrally located you can get to North Shore, Kailua, or even Waikiki in under an hour. The grocery stores are really close and convenient and of course, my favorite one is Foodlands because of the poke. Our favorite time in the condos were coffee and breakfast on the lanai and drinks in the afternoon, watching the sunset on the lanai. I had never had a desire to go to Oahu, but now will definitely be back and will hope this unit will be available when we do go back.

This unit was exceptional. Our group included two adult couples. We had more than enough space and the condo was equipped with everything we needed and more; pots, pans, cooler for the beach, beach chairs, beach towels, snorkel gear, boogie boards, etc. If you like the pictures, you'll LOVE this condo. We felt comfortable and right at home. Close to Costco, Target and other shopping for convenience. Ko'Olina is a beautiful and quiet area. If you're looking to relax, this condo is for you. This was our first experience using VRBO and Khoi was amazing to work with. He responded to all inquiries promptly and provided first class service when we arrived. We HIGHLY recommend this property. Thanks Khoi, we look forward to our next visit to Ko'Olina.

October 2016
The property and the condo are beautiful. You are away from the hustle & bustle of Waikiki, which is nice. Its about a 30-40 min drive to Waikiki or the North shore. Its so nice having the lagoon right there, which was great for snorkelling or just for a swim and relaxing on the beach. It is closer than it looks in the pictures.
The unit is clean and modern, and even nicer in person than in the pictures. It has everything you could need. The only thing we missed a little was an ironing board and iron, unless it was in a closet I missed.
The pools were both great, and the staff and greeter were very nice and helpful. We would definitely stay here again if we come back to Oahu.

We had quite the spread on our trip, including two ladies in their 80s and two preschoolers! This place was perfect! Beach was mellow, pools were so clean, and the accommodations were perfect. They provided everything, beach toys, snorkels, towels + chairs! You name it, it was there. The villa is very close to target and Costco to meet the demands of our crew. Can't rave about the villa enough!

This place was absolutely incredible. We spent most of our time swimming in the salt water pool. Our entire family was there and I would never stay at a resort again. The money we saved by being able to go get groceries was huge. Also the condo was clean and the views were ridiculous. Khoi was great to work with as well. Responded to all of our emails quickly. Highly recommended.

My wife and two college age children spent 9 days at Khoi's Ko Olina Villa and we all had a great time. The condo was very luxurious, spacious, and has all the amenities of home. We really enjoyed swimming and snorkeling in the Honu Lagoon and the time spent in one of the three hot tubs afterwards was very relaxing. The strolls along the beach early in the morning, before sunset, and at night were also enjoyable. Being able to prepare most of our meals in the fully equipped kitchen was a definite plus for our budget. This was our seventh trip to Oahu and on previous trips we stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village on Waikiki. In my opinion, Khoi's Villa at Ko Olina beats hotel rooms on Waikiki by far in terms of space, amenities, serenity, and scenery. I would highly recommend this property to families of 4-6 people whom prefer luxury and a relaxing atmosphere.
February 2016
My husband and I and another couple stayed at this condo and it was perfect. Very comfortable beds, great kitchen and lovely outdoor furniture for relaxing on the lanai. The lanai is not in the direct sunlight for most of the day which was perfect for us....much too hot in the sun. There were beach towels/chairs and other equipment. The lagoons were great to swim and snorkel in. The other three lagoons/beaches were way more crowded because they are hotels, whereas this was much less so...always room at the pool and hot tub. This is great for two couples or a family with children.

We just returned from a stay at Khoi's Ko Olina Beach Front Villa. Our family truly enjoyed every minute of time spent in the villa and on the property. Our 6 year old twin girls and 8 year old son loved the "kids" pool and hot tub; basking in the sun; and meeting new friends from all over the place not to mention all of the beach toys provided by Khoi for enjoyment at the lagoons... I even took some time to boogie surf on a big wave day.. Our kids liked having their own TV to end a day catching up on "full house" re-runs. My wife and I spent the last hours of the day on the balcony watching the sunset which was in perfect view from this villa. For those who enjoy working out - the property has gym was exceptional with high end equipment and lots of free weights; sauna; and steam room.
Upon arrival; everything was organized; the parking space was ample; and Patrick did a great job showing us the amenities of the villa. The beds, furniture, and so on were modern, comfortable, and well kept. There is no doubt that the cleaning crew take pride in their work as the place was virtually spotless when we arrived. The villa was well stocked with the things we needed for preparing our meals; a quick stop at Costco & Walmart (3 miles away) and we were set up for our stay.
The Ko Olina area is very nice, immaculately maintained, with a beautiful golf course. Great running/walking paths connecting the properties and lagoons with beach access bathrooms if you are out enjoying ocean front. From the villas; its only a short walk to the ABC store, restaurants, ice cream/shaved ice, coffee shops, art, and clothing shops.
We contemplated the Disney resort (for the kids); as well as Wikiki hotel/condo options; but after seeing the chaos at Disney and insane crowds and traffic of Wikiki; this was the right choice and when traveling to Oahu in the future; we will definitely stay here again.
One last comment.....I read other reviews about the "rules" being too strict on the property... I disagree with those who suggest they are too strict. We have small children and found that the rules were perfect and after all; these are privately owned units and (in my opinion) without the right set of rules; the property wouldn't be as well managed and pristine as it is.
Thank you to Khoi for the great property and communication!

We had a great time staying at this beautiful condo in Ko Olina! The condo is very well appointed and very comfortable. We had a great time just staying in and enjoying the lanai. The sliding glass doors go all the way into the walls and completely open up the living area to the outdoors. The views are fine and you can hear the ocean. The pools are very nice and great for the kids. Khoi is great to rent from and very responsive to emails. Eric Binger gave us a great orientation to the condo when we arrived and was very accessible and responsive if we had any issues.
One concern we had was access by our kids (ages 4 and 2) to the windows in the second bedroom, which do not have any screens or protection from falling out. We solved this issue by putting a temporary alarm on the window to alert us if it was open (we purchased this at the local Home Depot in Kapolei). My 4 yr old got up on a stool and figured out the window lock within 10 minutes of being there!
Ko Olina is a great place to stay. The protected beaches are perfect for little kids and for a little snorkeling. There are plenty of local restaurants (Monkeypod was by far our favorite). The Disney character breakfast at the Aulani resort is right next door. The golf course is great also.
Overall a very pleasant experience and a great vacation! We would stay here again if we return to Ko Olina!

Our Family of five with our three girls ages, 12, 15 and 17 completely enjoyed the condo and the resort. Thanks Khoi for your patience as we navigated through this process for the first time. The November sunsets from the Lanai were picture perfect and only enhanced by walking down to the beach. The Condo offered us plenty of space to spread out and relax. Everything for the preparation and serving of meals is supplied, you just need to provide the food. Many shopping centers and grocery stores are only minutes away. There is an abundance of restaurants on the resort and nearby. A special thank you to Blair at the front desk. He was very helpful and familiar with the activities on the island and certainly helped us to make the most of our adventures both locally and around the island. Another special thanks to Ron for the great Island drinks, they were the best. All in all we had the most relaxing trip ever because we felt at home in paradise. Thanks Khoi!

The Ko olina Beach Villas are an excellent place to stay for a family vacation. The condo was clean and had all the upgrades you could imagine. It was stocked with beach toys for young kids, towels,snorkeling gear, chairs, umbrellas, all cooking necessitie, etc.. so once we did our Costco shop which was only a short drive away, we did not have to leave the villa.
Our two young boys absolutely loved the toddler pool with a sand bottom and even better swimming in the ocean which was steps away. This property was perfect and safe with two young children. We can't wait to go back.
Khoi was very quick to respond to any questions and Gabriella was helpful in getting us acquainted with the condo and Ko olina.

My wife and I, together with our two teenagers (age 17 and 16), spent a week over spring break 2013 at Khoi's villa. The villas (and this one in particular) were all that we expected. Our first stay and first VRBO rental went smoothly. Khoi was easy to deal with (booking, contact, return of deposit, etc.)
The villas/area is top notch. Being somewhat remote/quiet, it is a nice get away from the hustle/bustle of the city (some also claim better weather as well). This unit is well equipped/laid out and in great shape. We alternated - one quiet day @ the villas and then one day touring (ie Hanama Bay, North Shore, etc). All most would need in terms of shopping / restaurants etc all nearby (10 minute drive)
We would recommend this resort and renting this particular unit - All good, as they say!

This is a great Family place. Khoi has been great to work with. We have rented from him the last 3 years and as I write this review our contract for nex year is printing on the printer, Ko olina is the best of Quiet beaches and Ohau things to do. We came to Ohau 3 years ago to try a differnt island as we have always done Maui. Ko olina is very similer in that you have beter weather then therest of the Island. I could be pouring rain in Honalulu but up at Ko olina it will be dry. My Kids love the Pools and each year the don' want to go home So much that this year my Dauther told us she now wanted to live here ( wow how a 6 year old thinks) The Condo alway looks New and is very Clean. We have done lots of VRbo rentals and i can say first hand that this condo has it all. if you are looking for a great family Vacation this is the Place for you.

The condo, and the facility, more than lived up to my families expectations. The Ko Olina resort area is a great location. The picture for the property were great, but really don’t do it justice. The condo was clean and well kept, with the gourmet kitchen and glass pocket doors that open the lanai up to the rest of the condo, this is true open concept living. The views from the lanais are outstanding. The beach and ocean views are fabulous. You can sit out on the lanai, looking to the west, for the beautiful Hawaiian sunsets. Relaxing on the lanai is great, with the cool (or warm, depending on where you’re from) trade winds and great views, this was the families regular meeting place, we never used the dining room table. The TV was seldom on.
The owner answered all our email promptly, and with all the info we required. The owners property manager was friendly and helpful, and had us up and running in no time. She also had many good suggestions.
Our stay was through the Thanksgiving Holiday, and the weather was great. A few good rain showers, but they didn't last all that long. The pools and the grounds were great, but we spent our time on the beach or lounging on the lanai. Ko Olina is a little off the beaten path, but that not a bad thing. If you want a resort atmosphere without the hustle and bustle of places like Waikiki, I highly recommend this property. Being on an island, you are never really very far off the beaten path. Depending on the route you take, you are never much more than an hour from where you might want to visit, and the views you get in that hour are worth it. The surfing beaches of the north shore, the tropical windward coast line, or the attraction of Honolulu and Waikiki.
I had lived on Oahu before, so the family wanted to see some of my favorite spots on the island. It was fun, but by the time we left, we all agreed that we would spend more time around the condo, relaxing on the lanai or at the beach. My family and I would come back here again. This is a great property, and I highly recommend it.

Over the last ten years we have stayed at most of the other standard island locations (Kauai, Maui, Kona, Honolulu). For all the typical reasons Oahu ranked as our least favorite, that is until a friend of ours recommended the Ko Olina area. Convenient to everything yet isolated enough to feel like you are worlds away from the madness of Waikiki, this master planned resort area (also containing newer Disney and Marriott hotels) is perfect for adults as well as families (we have sons ages 9, 6, & 6). The owner was helpful in answering all our initial questions and made the entire rental process very simple and straightforward. This particular unit had everything you could want during your stay; not once did we find ourselves thinking "gee, I wish we had one of those". The unit was ready on time and spotless upon check-in. We had some friends also staying in the "pricier" Beach Tower next door; we easily preferred both the furniture and condition of our unit as well as the views from our Ocean Tower lanais (both pools, lagoon, and ocean; only thing you don't see is the sunset). The only "negative" thing I could think of pointing out is that both the walk to the beach and to parking might be a factor for someone with mobility issues simply due to distance. Was only an issue for us when forced to carry exhausted children back to the unit after another great day down at the beach.

This condo was beautiful and the Ko Olina beach villas resort was first class. The pictures don't do justice to the large lanai, lovely modern kitchen and comfortable bedrooms. The whole place is very clean and secure. Much more relaxing than staying in busy Waikiki! We enjoyed swimming in the pools, using the barbeque, and just relaxing on the lanai or at the beach. The owners provided beach towels, boogie boards and lounge chairs. Evenings were lovely taking a stroll along the beach and watching the sunset. There is also a restaurant with a beach view/poolside bar (Longboards?)nearby as well as a good Mexican restaurant ( I think called Just Tacos) in the shopping center within the complex that was very good. Grocery shopping easy with Costco and Walmart only a few minutes away. This place is perfect if you want relaxing, quiet, and high quality accomodations.

We are taking time to write this review because we want anyone who is thinking of going to Oahu to know that this was one of our BEST vacations ever because we stayed in this particular unit...and we researched quite a few.
We knew from the website that the inside of the condo was beautiful and the outside near the ocean and lagoons, but we had no idea that:
* The grounds are absolutely beautiful, secure, quiet, & relaxing
(Just go to the Disney hotel is you want chaos & noise!)
* The other guests/owners were low key, family types...very nice!
Our grandson had a blast with the kids vacationing when we were.
* The Ko Olina area turns out to have the LEAST rain on the island!
* We never wanted to leave the condo....why leave paradise???
* A building that blocked us seeing the sunset from our lanais
was actually a plus.. We went to the lagoon to see sunsets, but
from our lanais, we were never blasted by the sunset and heat.
* Great view of all grounds from our lanais... we could see our
family members swimming and hot tubing!!
* There was very easy access to restaurants, shopping, sites, etc.
* None of us wanted to get up from the wonderful beds...soooo comfy!
THERE WASN'T ANYTHING THAT WE DIDN'T LIKE ABOUT IT....
SO CAN'T COMMENT ON THAT......
