The Ko Olina Hillside Villas condo resort on Oahu receives generally positive reviews from guests, highlighting its beautiful and safe community, convenient location close to food, grocery options, and the beach, as well as the availability of amenities such as golf cart rentals, comfortable beds, and beach gear like chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards. The resort area is appreciated for its quietness and the strict enforcement of quiet hours, ensuring a peaceful stay.

We loved our stay and the golf cart rental. Plusses include the lagoons, market place, separate bedrooms for alone time, the community was beautiful and felt very safe. The food and grocery locations are very convenient, as well.

The property was better than expected. Beds were very comfortable and the sheets were nice. There was a garage door opener and key fob for the pool area in a dish on the counter when we walked in. There are beach things like chairs, umbrellas, and boogie boards in the closet on the porch. I did not know that until the second or third day because I assumed it would be locked. The tv's were smart so we were able to log in and watch the same services we use at home. Other guests who stay here should make more of an effort not to put sandy things in the washer or dryer. Guests are going to break these appliances. When we checked in both were very clogged with sand and I wish I could have done more to get it out. I shake everything outside and rinse especially sandy stuff before bringing it in to clean and suggest other people do the same. We would stay here again. It was lovely. Very quiet neighborhood and in a resort area so people are used to temporary neighbors. Trash came twice a week which was also nice.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about this property and all those involved with it. This is my first time using Vrbo so I was a little nervous, but the manager was so helpful throughout the whole process. Before the trip even happened I adjusted the dates twice, and they adjusted it no problem and never even complained. Upon arrival check-in was very smooth, and there were so many things within that location that they had already provided, such as towels, soap and shampoo, and so many other amenities that I was so grateful for. The property itself is beautiful, everything was kept super clean, even my mother-in-law who is wary of Home rental type situation was very pleased. We even had one situation where there was a slight leak coming from the air conditioning, and they sent people over immediately to fix the problem and it all went very smoothly. The house itself is in a wonderful location surrounded by all the best Resorts, which made it so easy for us to get to places that we needed to be. Overall I can’t recommend this location and it’s property management team enough, and I hope to be back soon!

The house was great. Kitchen could have been better equipped. There wasn't a cutting board for example. Also would have been nice to have a hose available but other than that, no complaints

Overall we had a great experience staying here. The place was exactly as described and very clean. Some of the mattresses were pretty uncomfortable (the king bed was fine). Quiet hours were strictly enforced by neighbors (ie no laughter on back porch after 9 PM). It was too far to walk with beach gear to the lagoons but if you drive over first thing in the morning you can get a parking spot. Highly recommend a character breakfast at the Disney resort if you have little ones!

This condo was a perfect choice. It was clean, communication was always a quick response, the location is in a very nice area with beaches, shopping and restaurants close by. Walking thru the neighborhood made me feel like I belonged with any of the neighbors I ran in to being so friendly and helpful. I plan on returning here. After staying here I may never stay in a hotel again!

Awesome time. I've stayed in a couple of these townhomes in Ko'olina Golf estates when I return home to Hawaii from the mainland and this one did not disappoint. Lenny was cool and the place had everything we needed. We have 4 kids so having everything means a lot. We even left a bunch of beach toys, mats and a boogie board for future guest. Granted the property already had a lot of those items. Was skeptical about the review that said there was not enough dishes etc. Because it wasn't true at all. We enjoyed our stay and hope to be welcomed in the future! 😊🌺🌴🐬

This property was exactly as described. It was spotless and comfortable and a great location to hit some nice lagoons.
It’s a nice quiet neighborhood.
I hope to visit again and would definitely stay here.
