The unit has beautiful, unobstructed ocean views. It is located in the Kai Lani complex, a peaceful gated development in the Ko Olina resort area, yet a short walk to beaches, restaurants, and stores.
I found the unit in very clean condition, equipped with modern appliances and high-quality furniture, towels, and bed linens. The internet connection was fast and reliable. The owner provided clear check-in/check-out instructions and quickly answered my questions.
I previously stayed several times at the Four Seasons in Ko Olina and enjoyed a similar luxury experience at this property. Overall, I found that the property's location, amenities, and condition justify the rental cost. I would stay there again.

This property is in a pristine location away from the hustle and bustle of Waikiki and nestled in Ko'Olina which has restaurants, shopping and beaches. The condo itself was bigger than expected and the sunset views are a chef's kiss as it's on the west side of the island. It's also about 3 minutes from electric beach for some good beach/snorkel days. I lovedy stay here for my wedding and honeymoon. Would stay here forever if I could!

Family vacation that needed a comfortable place to relax and spend quality time. Great condo that had all amenities. Quiet yet in the right location. Comfortable beds, exceptionally clean and beautiful scenery. Sunsets were amazing as the family enjoyed dinner on the Lanai of the Pacific Ocean.

Our stay at this VRBO was truly a home away from home in paradise! The location was perfect, tucked away from the city's hustle and bustle in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. The house had everything we needed, including towels, a collapsible cooler, ice packs, and handy hygiene items left by previous guests. The garage, stocked full of beach items courtesy of Ingrid, was a wonderful surprise! We had access to beach chairs, umbrellas, floaties for the kids, a wagon, and more, making our beach trips effortless and fun.
Ingrid, our host, was simply amazing. She was so nice and accommodating, always making sure we had everything we needed. It felt like having a family member nearby, ready to assist whenever necessary. During our stay, we had car troubles, and Ingrid helped us out tremendously. Our van had a flat tire, and we had a wedding to get to within the next hour and a half. Since the home is in a gated community, we needed someone to open the gate for the tow truck and give them the key to the rental vehicle. Ingrid and her friend jumped to the rescue and offered to watch for the tow truck and provide the necessary information while we were out. Without their help, I didn't know what we would have done.
We cannot recommend this place enough. If you’re looking for a peaceful, well-equipped, clean getaway with a fantastic host, this is the place to be! Thank you, Ingrid, for making our stay so wonderful. We can't wait to return!

Overall a GREAT place to stay: view, close to activities & shopping, nice neighbors & workers, rooms, beds, and parking. Negatives were: we couldn't get very hot water, kitchen appliances need replacement (fridge & dishwasher), and living room furniture needs replacement (uncomfortable to sit in, no ottomans, we were vacuuming a couple of times daily due to feathers shedding, and we ended up putting sheets on them to avoid their scratching us). We WILL still be recommending this place to others, with the expectation that some of the items noted will be taken care of. A big thanks to the owner for all of the water gear and for buying a beach wagon for us to haul it all on. As a handicapped person, this made a HUGE difference in the amount of things I could take part in!

The condos are beautiful and well equipped. Lagoons are nearby walkable distance. The groundskeeper was very helpful at the pool when my husband lost an item in the pool. The barbecues were always clean and ready to use. There was a little trouble with the AC our first two days, but it was quickly fixed. Communication with the host was great and very helpful. Getting in and out of the gate was a little difficult with the key fob. We enjoyed our stay.

Every time it was windy, cloudy or chilly anywhere on the island, it was perfect sunshine, warmth and a gentle breeze in Ko Olina. This is the place you want to stay!
The condo is perfectly located to access small beaches where you can snorkel and relax, Paradise Cove’s Luau and even treats from Disney Aulani like a Dole Whip at the Ulu Café. Walking distance too from the souvenir and convenience store Island Country Markets (by ABC stores).
Pool and hot tub were perfect, everyone is so nice and respectful.
The condo is clean, has a nice hawaiian vibe, all the basics in the kitchen are available, same for the beach gear we needed. Prepare to be amazed by the sunsets.
Great availability of the owners to answer any questions.

We loved the property and the location. We walked to the grocery store, restaurants, and the beach. The sidewalk is wide and it’s a relatively short walk. I loved that it was a gated community. We had a little hiccup checking in and trying to open the gate as the owner was traveling during that time and no one was answering the number when we were ringing at the gate to let us in. Also, GoogleMaps is not accurate so please follow the owner instructions once you are past the gate. We had another issue with the AC but we were in communications with the owner, who was extremely responsive, so that issue was resolved. Overall, we would absolutely stay again. Gorgeous condo, reserved parking spot, and walking distance to everything. Do get purple malasadas at the Island Country Markets store. They are absolutely the best.

Perfect location. Ocean view from lanai, next to multiple beaches, golf course, restaurants, gift shops, etc. Beautiful manicured neighborhood with walking/biking paths. City of Kopolei 3 miles away with everything you could need. Condo spacious and fully stocked with supplies and beach equipment. Beds comfortable and laundry top notch. Landlord a great guy.

The property was wonderful with an amazing view of the ocean. Very spacious and comfortable. Loved sitting out on the lanai for breakfast to enjoy the view as well as sunset! Appliances were top notch (I want these for my own house!). Perfect location in a quieter area but close enough to area lagoons and right next to Paradise Cove where we swam with turtles! LOVED and definitely recommend!

The condo was very comfortable. It has a view of the ocean, and beautiful palm trees surround the area. Not far from the condo is a very nice pool and hot tub. The condo didn’t have very many supplies. I had to buy a lot of extras. I did stay for a month, so I needed quite a bit. The condo needs some repairs and maintenance.

Walking distance to public beach, all 4 lagoons, Disney Aulani, local shops/restaurants was VERY convenient. The condo itself was very clean, well-stocked and has a beautiful deck/lanai with view of the ocean that was a pleasure to look at over breakfast and dinner (with sunset). The condo complex's amenities (bbq, pool) were excellent, clean, and staff was very helpful. Would definitely stay here again!

The property is as nice as the photos. Very comfortable and well equipped and very clean. The 2 bedrooms/bathrooms were like separate suites with shared kitchen and living space. Close to the small shops in Ko Olina being a 10-15 minute walk. There’s a lovely boardwalk not too far away and you can stroll along the 4 lagoons near other resorts like Disney Aulani.
We would stay here again.

It’s always Location, Location, Location! Kai Lani is literally a stone’s throw from the freeway entrance, making travel to anywhere on the island easy. It’s a very quiet condo complex with flowering plants and greenery as well as an ocean view. It’s a short walking distance to a shopping area, restaurants, shops, 4 lagoons, and Paradise Cove for snorkeling with tropical fish and sea turtles. Costco and a major shopping center are only 3.5 miles away in Kapolei. You will even find a movie theater there. The owner’s condo is well appointed! The kitchen is stocked like a gourmet kitchen: large refrigerator, toaster oven, coffee maker, dishwasher, stove, microwave, blender, slow cooker, rice steamer and ample cookware, dishes and utensils. The dining room seats 6 comfortably and the lanai seats 4. There are 3 tvs, ceiling fans in every room plus AC. The main tv has Roku. Each bathroom has a full tub and shower. There are ample bath towels and beach towels. The main bedroom is a king and the secondary bedroom has a queen bed with ample linens for each. There is a large capacity washer/dryer ! The condo is so inviting and full of amenities that your vacation literally starts as you open the door. You will be thankful for making this condo your vacation choice!

This beautiful spacious condo was perfect for my husband and I and his sister and husband. It overlooks a cove on the ocean where we enjoyed every stunning sunset possible. The cove also seems to be a feeding ground for sea turtles and we even saw a few dolphins. It's walking distance to beaches, shops, grocery stores, restaurants a major resorts. We even found the secret beach and spotted a Monk Seal on two separate occasions. I would highly recommend this anyone looking for a vacation with a little more privacy than a resort can offer.

We stayed for the month of September and this condo was perfect in every way for our family. Very clean and comfortable, and very well appointed. Vicki has thought of every detail. She was very responsive before and during our trip, and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The location is perfect, walking distance to Paradise Cove and the lagoons, and only a short drive to Kapolei for shopping. "Our Place of Joy" exceeded our expectations in every way and we can't wait to come back! Mahalo Vicki!

I wouldn’t have chosen this place if someone else had the experience I did. (1) found bed bug on pillow on bed 1.5 hours after checking in, (2) caught bed bug in ziplock for proof, (3) no items or people went on bed except for my 3 showered young children wrapped in towels from the condo (4) we left quickly and searched for hotel (5) owner next morning asked us to continue our stay and see if we find any more bugs. We said no way (6) husband met owner at property with live bed bug and searched beds for more bugs (did not find any but did not search carpets, couches, etc) (7) owner said he’d give us a full refund and we booked another property for the month (8) one week later owner changed his mind because he now thinks we brought the bed bug into the condo and he tells VRBO we were using property to eat and store food (this was incorrect because we didn’t have access. Hundreds of dollars of unused groceries were left with owner’s knowledge because we had nowhere to put them) (9) ten days after I found the bug, owner had an exterminator in to check property. Exterminator said no bed bug evidence found, owner gives us a 40% refund and invites us to finish our stay. We declined since we already settled into another home for our month long stay and we still didn’t feel comfortable staying here (10) upset because our 1.5 hours in this home was full of stress to start our family vacation and we lost money but thankful 1.5 months after finding bed bug, we haven’t seen another!

This vacation home is absolutely stunning, and our family had an incredible time there. It is located within a beautiful gated community. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything we needed, which made meal preparation a breeze.
However, one aspect that proved to be challenging was the lack of detailed instructions from Vacasa regarding which key corresponded to each gate. The garage, which is separate from the main unit and situated right behind it. Unfortunately, the garage opener provided did not work, despite my attempts to contact Vacasa for a solution. This lack of assistance was quite frustrating.
Eventually, I discovered that the garage was actually the second door from the right when facing the garage unit. After replacing the battery, I was able to operate it successfully.
Despite this minor inconvenience, our overall experience at the vacation home was fantastic. It would have been even more enjoyable if Vacasa had provided clearer instructions and prompt assistance in resolving the garage opener issue. ( Not just empty apoloziging messages)
I hope that my feedback proves helpful for future guests.

Four adults all over 60 celebrating my brother and sister-in-law's retirement. The condo was perfect for the four of us. Having two beautiful master suites (really comfy king beds!) was lovely. The bathrooms are huge and luxurious. The kitchen had everything we needed to make nice meals and eat in occasionally. We spent a huge amount of time on the lanai because of the gorgeous ocean view. A real bonus is the decor and artwork in the condo. The second bonus is the location. We walked down to the beach we viewed from the lanai every night for the sunset. There is also a cove beach with amazing snorkeling that is completely walkable, about a 1/4 mile away. We saw over a dozen different types of fish as well as swam with a sea turtle and watched over a sleeping monk seal on that beach. Honolulu, the North Shore and eastern shore of the island are all very accessible by car. Within Ko'olina itself are shops, tons of restaurants, luaus and just about everything you need. It really was a perfect vacation. Thank you, Richard!

Great location for day trips to the city, east side and North Shore. Very well furnished and equipped with everything we needed during our stay. Quick responses to the few questions we had. Thanks so much. Would definitely recommend and return in the future.

Photos lack details of key rooms because they are unsatisfactory. The unit was unkept. Bathrooms were dirty. Showers were full of mildew, mold & hair. Plumbing did not drain properly in showers. Kitchen was dirty & greasy. Furnishings were dingy, stained & dusty. Carpets were heavily stained throughout the unit with multiple area rugs covering stained carpets. Beds were extremely uncomfortable. An extra sheet set was satin Playboy themed.
After our first unpleasant night I called VRBO, it was never stated I was past the 12 hour period to file a complaint. It was suggested to dispute the charges w my credit card co & to resolve issues w host on my own.
The owner was uncooperative & unpleasant. He demanded to inspect unit. Day 5 a cleaning service came. They stated cleaning cannot start until plumbing issue was resolved & they would not be able to clean unit to satisfactory results considering the condition. We made the decision to vacate the rental after not being able to resolve issues. The host refused to issue a refund for the nights unused like VRBO had asked him to do & we lost the 30 day rental amount we had paid. We found a new spotless rental in the same complex with a local property management service for a comparable rate.
It would be helpful to provide photos however, I can't. I relied heavily on reviews when booking this rental. The reviews with complaints are more accurate than the positive reviews. If you have issues w checking in call VRBO in 12 hrs.

We didn’t regret our booking. The host Ingrid, who lives in the same house, was very kind, even before we arrived. She called us and made sure we know everything about our soon to be vacation home. During the stay, she was always available, very helpful and generous. The condo is spacious and has everything a family needs for a great vacation time. We felt very comfortable and didn’t miss a thing. Location-wise this place is perfect. The nearby lagoons are perfect for the kids and you can walk to all of them. Ingrid offers all kinds of beach supplies (chairs, mats, snorkeling tools, a wagon to transport everything, body boards, you name it). The distance to Honolulu and other places is from half an hour to an hour depending on traffic. The property is secured by a gate and you will have your own parking lot.
Nearby you will find an ABC store, Starbucks, icecream place and restaurants. The area is pricey, but so is all of Oahu. We enjoyed the sunsets from our balcony or the lagoons, if we were home around that time. Definitely a wonderful place and we can highly recommend it.

I almost want to keep unit as our secret so it'll be available anytime we visit Oahu.
We stayed for 2 weeks with our 3 sons. Ingrid met us at the gate and escorted us into the unit to ensure we were satisfied. She had bottled water in the fridge and coffee for us which was so sweet.
The location of this unit was perfect and the unit was exactly as described. Its also fully stocked with enough beach towels, paper towel, toilet paper, spices, plates, water toys, coolers, wagons for all your beach stuff. Plus, my sons used the garage to work out in every other day.
We enjoyed the sunset almost every night right from the balcony or a short 2 minute walk to the beach. Literally 2 minutes away. Plus, theres a secret beach nearby that takes you only 3 minutes to get to for swimming or snorkeling. If you want something bigger than about a 6 minute walk right to the first of many larger beaches in Ko'Olina. It was perfection for our stay.
Big plus, you really dont need to go far for dinning, grocery or shopping. Costco was a 7 minute drive.
The unit is near disney, or wet n wild if you want a break from the beach. We spent a few days in between beach days at the pool which is right by the unit.
Oh and ladies - it has great hot water with excellent water pressure.
Overall we had a fantastic time. The description doesnt do this unit justice and the hosts were the sweetest we've come across. If I lived in Oahu, I would just visit them, just because.

We have stayed in the Ko Olina area 8 times in a dozen years at 4 different developments (Kai Lani, Ko Olina Kai, Fairways and Plantation). This was our favorite property to date.
The unit and its available bedding were the perfect size for our family of 5, including 2 teenagers.
More than adequately stocked family room, bathrooms and kitchen made for an easier Costco run upon arrival.
Pool and grill area made for a great alternative on days when the lagoons were a little crowded. Nearby Kapolei has pretty much everything else you could need while on vacation.
Special shout-out to Romy, the late afternoon-evening manager on duty. Hustled and bent over backwards to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves while on the property.
Thank you, Vicki, for a great property.

We really enjoyed our stay at the condo: amazing ocean view from the balcony and 5min walk to the Paradise Cove natural lagoon (not crowded, great snorkeling, monk seals and sea turtles visiting every day). The condo was very clean and well equipped for a family of 4. The kids loved the pool too (clean, good size and we had it mostly to ourselves).

The 3rd time at this property was a charm. Herb is a very gracious host and he keeps this rental condo in tip top shape.
If you want a clean and friendly environment to just relax and enjoy the Hawaiian Sun or a place to go for fun and excitement then this is the place for you. The location is one of Oahu's best for peace and quiet. It is also close enough to Honolulu for you to enjoy big city fun and excitement .
Our son and his wife live in Honolulu and visited us on the weekends in order to get away from the big city. Our daughter, her husband and their two children stayed with us for a week and they enjoyed the sun and sand at the lagoons at Ko'Olina as well as snorkeling and hiking all over Oahu. My sister visited from Colorado and found the condo magical and a great escape for all children of all ages.
The place has recently been given a facelift with fresh paint and it was sparkling clean when we arrived. After checking the pantry we crossed many items off our shopping list it was so well supplied. All appliance were in working order and the only problem we encountered was the dishwasher. In the middle of our visit the roller for the top tray broke and Herb had it fixed immediately. It took three days to finish the repair only because a part had to be shipped in. There were no other problems.
I highly recommend this place and will return as soon as possible.
