Welcome to South Sea Bungalows:
South Sea Arts has grown beyond the gallery and restaurant designing to provide Polynesian culture aficionados, collectors of Hawaiiana and people who appreciate culture in an oasis to call home during their stay on the island of Oahu. That's right, as of 2019, South Sea Arts is proud to present South Sea Bungalows at Coconut Plantation in Ko Olina. South Sea Bungalows is a vacation rental that has been meticulously designed and artfully decorated to provide guests with an authentic Polynesian experience, something that other vacation rentals cannot provide on your stay as some interiors look as if it could be anywhere in the world. We want our guest to feel that they're on our beautiful island even when they're inside not just outside when touring the island. Da bungalow also serves as a part time escape for the Souriolle ohana who live close by locally.
The area is lined with world famous retreats including the Four Seasons Resort, Ko Olina Golf Club, and most notably the majestic Disney Aulani property that fronts the saltwater kissed coastline. The shores of Ko Olina explain why people from all over the planet flock to this destination as a series of lagoons carve their mark and collect sea life in their sanctuary as the tide ebbs and flows. Numerous operations stand nearby, ready to whisk you away off shore where snorkeling, scuba, and deep sea fishing await. On the land you’ll find subtle green rolling hills that unfold access to an 18-hole championship golf course and more. The best luau on the island is also found here at Paradise Cove, a place so magical that it has become one of the most sought after places in the Hawaiian Island chain to form a romantic union, from within the walls of the Crystal Chapel.
In the early evening torches light the way through Ko Olina, guiding guests from boutique shops and art galleries to upscale eateries and quaint cafes. Simply put, Ko Olina is the ultimate tropical playground. Families, young couples, and empty nesters alike nestle into this nook of paradise to soak up all it has to offer. However, for far too long it has been unattainable for many, with resort pricing relegating the experience to a select few. For others, the idea of staying under the umbrella of a big brand takes away from the authentic island experience they came to Oahu for.
As an answer, Coconut Plantation, an oasis within an oasis, was born to satisfy the thirst. This gated community in Ko Olina is distinguished by coconut palms that wrap around the quiet roads, shading the plantation styled two-level homes within.
As a guest, you'll enjoy all of the amenities found at Coconut Plantation, which include the following:
2 outdoor swimming pools. One beach styled pool with a sand entry and another lagoon pool. You'll think you're at the beach (which is also a few steps away)!
3 spas.
Tiki-hut styled party pavilion with tables, chairs and communal grills.
Free parking and WIFI.

It had all of the little things you thought you might need and more. Opening doors and drawers had us thinking, ‘Huh, we’ll that’s convenient!’ We had so much fun at Gecko’s and we were able to quickly feel at home. The location was beyond perfect - to shops, restaurants, lagoons, pools, and sunsets. Couldn’t have been better. My family had a terrific time and we were sad to leave. A huge MAHALO to Gecko for allowing us to stay. We left with not only glowing tans, but a glow on our faces from the peaceful renewal that our family needed. We’d definitely recommend! 5*s

Phenomenal stay in paradise!
I grew up in Hawaii and came home for my picture-perfect Hawaiian wedding with family and friends. Gecko'z South Sea Bungalows were the perfect retreat for my new husband to be and I and our two close friends as we prepared for our wedding week in paradise. The place is infused with the Aloha spirit.
We all loved the Hawaiian home the minute we opened the front door! Greeted with warm woods, striking tapa print pattens and a spacious living area, we couldn't have been happier.
The attention to detail in each room captures the spirit of the Hawaiian Islands - Gecko's stunning handcarved artwork and personal art collection gives the bungalow a true local vibe. This is not your typical tropical unit.
Gecko and his wife Ailie are the most gracious hosts, answering every question, suggesting favorite haunts and providing a luscious, luxe Hawaiian retreat.
The property is perfectly located in Ko'Olina. My husband to be and I walked to the beach each morning stopping by at the best coffee place in town - Island Vintage Coffee. We found everything we needed at the Island Market from alcohol - deli food - souvenirs. And don't miss having breafast in the mini mall across the street at Eggs and Things.
A perfect day is jumping on the bungalow bicycles and cruising the beach lagoons and marina.
We are grateful they shared their island home of aloha wih us and we're making plans to return soon!

Alie & Gecko are the most gracious hosts for their beautiful property! We loved our stay at the South Sea Bungalow. The condo was very clean, spacious, up to date, with comfortable beds and stocked with everything we needed. My kids appreciated the smart tv and pools, and my husband and I, really enjoyed the Hawaiian art, fresh flowers, and tropical theme throughout the condo. The grounds around the complex are meticulously kept with palms and tropical plants throughout. At night you will hear nothing but natural ambient sounds that will lull you to sleep only to be awoken in the morning by the birds singing. Lastly, you cannot beat the location. We love the Ko Olina area. From this condo, you can walk to the shopping center where you will find lots of shops, a variety of restaurants, an art gallery, a coffee shop, a small market and an ice cream parlor. You can also easily walk to the beach, the lagoons and the Paradise Cove Luau (the best luau on Oahu). The water park is also a short drive from here. We cannot say enough good things about this property and it's friendly and accommodating owners. We feel lucky to have found this little gem. Alie & Gecko; Mahalo for a wonderful stay!
