For a small or large family, nothing beats this condo and location. The space was large and comfortable and within walking distance to each lagoon and the three major hotels. You can take a shortcut through the adjacent property to reach the marketplace, Four Seasons (fantastic food and spa), Aulani, and the first two lagoons. Walk through Roys for lagoon 3 and the main road for lagoon 4. We wish we didn’t have to leave.

Donald and his family, our hosts and owners of the villa, made our stay feel like visiting family. The villa was calm, very clean, well-organized, and well-stocked with basic necessary items, so there was no need to rush out on the first day. The beds, pillows, and linens were new and of very good quality. The villa was wonderfully decorated. They also had items to borrow for the lagoon for the kids: beach toys, towels, a beach wagon, boogie boards, fins, coolers, etc, which was very helpful to have on hand. Neighbors are friendly. The management company, Mike and Garrett, were very helpful and responded quickly to our questions. We travel a lot and have stayed in many long-term rentals. This is the first time we did not have a list of items about the rental that needed to be fixed during our stay.
We enjoyed the amenities at Ko Olina Kia community. The kids loved the community pool, and the adults loved the hot tub and cabanas for grilling. We signed up to play golf, paddle board, take exercise classes, and use the weights and treadmills at the gym. It was all fun and helped us decompress from work. The short walks to restaurants, lagoons, shopping, day spas, and entertainment were also very enjoyable. Within a 10-15 min. drive, there is a Walmart, Target, Safeway, and other stores just like any major U.S. town. We love Oahu, the community, and sites like Waimea Valley, the Hawaiian Railway, the Hawai’i Symphony Orchestra, churches, North Shore Eco Tours, etc. Mahalo, - NW

The property is gated and top of the line cared for. Its within walking distance to food, groceries, ocean and lagoons.
Condo had everything we needed including lots of beach toys. Including chairs, umbrella, boogie boards, snorkeling sets, cooler, towels and more.
Comfy and cozy. I would definitely stay here again.

This was our 3rd time staying at this property. We love the location and it is a great size for families. They changed the flooring from carpet to vinyl tile and it looks better than before but it is noisier. Running a fan in the bedrooms helps with white noise. The only other issue we had was that guests were booked to arrive the day we checked out so the cleaners don’t have enough time to wash everything and we were asked to wash everything before leaving. We needed to use most of the sheets and towels until the morning of our departure and could not finish it all. I washed and dried all the beach towels and put them away and wash the downstairs sheets and towels and had them in the dryer and the upstairs sheets in the washer. There was one more load of towels for them to do. The departure guidelines only asked us to throw the first load of sheets in and start the machine and we paid a fee for the cleaners to do the rest. I didn’t mind doing extra loads but we got a message that implied the cleaners weren’t happy that it wasn’t all done. I’m not sure why they thought we could do it all before 10 am when they had until 4 pm to finish it. I would suggest that that this property leave a day between guests or have enough sheets, towels and white rugs to swap them out then send them to a laundry service to wash in as much time as it takes. This is one of our favorite Vrbo’s and we would stay here again.

The property and location are top notch!
The Villa was well stocked with everything we needed. The home and rooms were very clean. Everyone in the group agreed ‘the best mattresses ever!’
The location is very SAFE! And within walking distant to so many activities, shops, eateries, the pool and the lagoons. I highly recommend this property.
Darren, the property manager always responded quickly and answered any questions we had.

First off, this is a lovely home. It's within walking distance of the beach, ABC store and restaurants. Its a comfortable home and was well stocked with just about everything you need. For the price, it should have been perfect.There were a few things not quite right. The master bath sink and the hallway bath tub were clogged. We notified the property manager of the sink and he told us he would get it fixed after our stay unless it reallly bothered us. We didn't think a plumber was necessary so we bought a drain snake and unclogged both. They were full of hair. The toilet in the hallway bath was very dirty. And if you like to sit outside, the two air conditioners by the patio are quite noisy. We sat out anyway and endured the noise. A list of other complaints has or will be sent to the owner. Other than the air conditioners, this is located in a quiet neighborhood. The neighbors and other residents are friendly. The pool is also very nice. We truly enjoyed our stay.

My wife and I have been on three other Hawaiian Islands over the last 20 years, and this was the first time for my wife on Oahu. She was absolutely blown away by the splendor and beauty on Oahu. We both loved staying in Ko Olina and we would definitely do so again when coming to Oahu. Our accommodations here were above expectations.

I love this home and I love Ko’Olina. This is my second time in this home. I love it here. The new upgrades are beautiful. It’s the perfect location, the neighbors are amazing 🥰. We love hanging out with them. I’m still in a depression over having to come back home to California 😢. If we have guests or family coming with us next year, we will be sure to book this beautiful home again. I can’t say anything negative because I just can’t think of anything. I definitely left my heart ❤️ here, yet again. Thank you for sharing your home with us, Donald.

Loved our month long stay! We enjoyed the location near the lagoons with the kids. Parking at the lagoons can be challenging once school is out. There is one golf cart parking spot at lagoon 1 but at the lot to the left of chapel. Kapolei is great and nearby for Costco, Safeway, and a great outdoor mall with a nice theatre.
Golf cart is great but not easy in/out as you are not allowed to drive on grass. Parking for guests or if you have 2 cars is a hassle as there is no street parking. Texting manager after 5 pm is easiest way for guest parking.
Would be nice and less hassle if there were 2 entry gate fobs which are also used for pool gate. Pool was lovely and bbq’s too. The kitchen was well stocked including cleaning supplies, and in great working order. I did need to purchase a full size broom and entry way rug. The villa had new floors and new paint. I would suggest overhead fans or standing fans in all bedrooms to save on a/c costs. The a/c worked great and we were careful to turn it up when we left house. Neighbors are friendly.
We did have an issue upon arrival concerning the cleanliness of duvets, comforters, and the sheets on one of the beds. Did ask for a bit of the 450.00 cleaning refund due to this as we could not use one room the first night but that did not happen. Just check all bedding as you arrive.
No recycling but you can drop off cans and plastic bottles next to Safeway.
Overall… Lovely villa!

We stayed in this villa for 6 weeks and we had an amazing time. The neighborhood is beautiful, and workers always keep it nice and clean. The unit has a nice floor plan, the kitchen is well equipped, the patio is quiet and has shade most of the day, the pool is very nice, the new BBQs at the pool are new and high quality. It is 5 minutes’ walk to local coffee shops, restaurants, and stores and of course close to the lagoons. At the beginning of our trip the owners bought new knives to replace the dull ones that were in the unit. There are plenty of bath towels and beach towels. The Wi-Fi is great in the unit and at the pool. We will come back!

Everything went well with the process and the property manager was very responsive. My only suggestion would be to get a new knife set...the knives were so dull we couldn't cut anything.

It was our second trip to Koolina, and we truly fall in love with this place again! Properly is located in gated community Koolina Kai, walking distance to restaurants, store, beaches. Very convenient location. Beautiful unit with all nessesary utilities. Kitchen was equipped with all nessesary stuff, it was very easy to cook and enjoy our stay. 2 huge rooms, a lot of space. Easy communication with property management and owner. During our stay we had only 1 issue, but we have resolved it and it did not bother our stay and did not effect our overall experience. Highly recommend this place to everyone! Very happy!

This property was clean and extremely comfortable. We felt right at home immediately. There were plenty of amenities.. everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, the bedding was high quality. The bath towels were fluffy and large. There were plenty of large beach towels, beach chairs, and beach toys/snorkel gear. The kitchen amenities included a variety of small appliances, quality pots/pans, baking supplies, crockpot, and 3 different types of coffee pots to meet everyone's need. The living room furniture was comfy and sat us comfortably for watching TV or relaxing after a long day. The lanai has a nice table with 4 chairs to enjoy meals outdoors, a morning cup of coffee, or an evening cocktail. Kathi, our host, was very helpful and a great communicator. We had a small maintenance issue that she addressed immediately. The condo was large enough for a family or multiple couples traveling together. The bedrooms were of ample sized with lots of storage space/closets. Our stay was wonderful and would definitely stay again!

All aspects of this rental were excellent. Melissa provided great check-in information. She was very responsive to questions. The home had all of the beach gear and cooking utensils you could want. The proximity to the pool and grills was ideal. The landscaping around the complex and especially around the pool was top notch. You could always get lounge chairs at the pool and they were very comfortable. The beds in the house were comfortable as well. The house was clean and was as represented in the photos. All in all a great experience.

Due to technical delays, we arrived a little later than expected but had no problem at all.
The house had everything we needed for our stay, it was marvellous clean and the community is just superb.
No, honestly, we were on Oahu now a couple of times and Ko'Olina is in our view the most beautiful spot to be.
And this house just matched our expectations. Even a lot of beach stuff was there, so we did not need to buy something new.
Would always love to come back!

My family and I really enjoyed our stay at this property in Ko'Olina. Everything was as described in the listing and it was outfitted with all the beach gear you could possibly need. We enjoyed our rides in the golf cart to hang out at the lagoons and enjoy the beautiful sunsets. The property itself was great. It was clean, well maintained, and centrally located in Ko'Olina.
Communication with the property manager, Darren, was easy throughout the entire process and during our stay, he was very thorough and always responded promptly to any questions we had.

Ko'olina is a wonderful resort area to stay in. This home is located in a quite area with nice amenities. The walk to the lagoons is nice and the lagoons themselves are fabulous. Staying in Ko'olina is highly recommend by me and I would love to return! This property was nicely decorated and felt comfy for our family of 5. We enjoyed it immensely! A few items we're broken, so we let the owner know and they were going to make the repairs. Everything else was wonderful.

This was our second stay in this property, and again, it did not disappoint! The property was very clean, inviting and well appointed with plenty of thoughtful touches. The location is fantastic - close to the bustle but far enough removed to feel relaxing. Plenty of beach toys, chairs and even coolers to make going to the beach a breeze, especially on the golf cart, which the kids loved. We took full advantage of the lovely community pool and grilled there a few times. We loved our stay and if vacationing on Oahu in the future, would not hesitate to stay here again.

The house was clean and had a ton of pool/beach accessories. It's conveniently located near the major resorts and awesome lagoons.
I would definitely recommend this place for anyone that wants a nice relaxing location.

This condo was perfect for our month on Oahu. Everything we wanted was close - beach, golf club, market, restaurants. My favourite was sitting out on the lanai as it faces on to a beautiful green area that is superbly landscaped and attracts lots of birds. I recommend getting the card that gives you access to the sports club as there are lots of free activities available. My favourites were the stand up paddle boarding, soin class and yoga. The condo is located very close to the pool (just rememeber to register at the office at the pool when you get there so your fob works). The overall complex is a very relaxing place and i left after 4 weeks feeling a lot more relaxed.

The property was exactly as pictured. There were more than enough "extras" such as golf cart to ride to and from pool or beach, bikes, beach accessories and more. The pool is small so can get busy but there are the lagoons and once you figure out the short cuts it's easy. The neighbourhood is super quiet and the neighbours friendly. This was truly a great vacation and this property made all the difference. Definitely will stay here again and again if it's not booked up.

This place is so homey and in an excellent location if you're looking for a quiet getaway but be close for easy access to drive around Oahu. The owners are pleasant and easy to communicate with should you need anything. I was really sad when we had to leave as the place really felt like home.

This home and location far exceeded our expectations. Clean and Had everything we needed. Short drive to target, Costco, Walmart… you name it! Just A five minute WALK to the Aulani/lagoon, the ABC store, shopping center and restaurants. There is also a bus stop within a few minutes walk where you can catch a bus into Waikiki for $3…. Yep, only $3. We had a rental car but my daughter/son used the bus system one day. The community is beyond amazing! The pool area is beautiful. Great for bbq, swimming, a soak in the jacuzzi. We made friends with the neighbors who are all soo friendly. I could go on forever about all the good things this home and Ko’Olina have. Having the golf cart really helped with the lagoon parking. Sometimes we Just walked to the lagoons, especially for the amazing sunsets. Beach chairs, ice chests, boogie boards, sand toys, snorkel gear, etc… were a nice surprise. The home had literally everything you could need. The only thing we thought would have been nice to have was a wagon to take beach gear when we walked to the lagoons, but it wasn’ta big deal. Having a lanai off the master was soo relaxing to have a cocktail in the evenings and breakfast of the lanai downstairs. We are Definitely coming back to Ko’olina next summer. We’d love to stay here again but don’t really need a 3 bedroom next year. With the price increase we may reserve a 2 bedroom. If we ever need a 3 bedroom again, I will reserve this home in a heartbeat. I didn’t want to leave. It’s only been a week and I still miss this home, the community, the Aloha we felt while we were there. Literally the best vacation EVER!!! Make sure you check out secret beach. It’s by the parking lot where they have the luau’s. It’s breathtaking. We didn’t find out about it until our last 2 days. Much Mahalo for the incredible experience and beautiful home.
Aloha, DeAnn and Dave

ALOHA!!! We had a wonderful stay at this property. It is 5 mins to Roys and 10-15 minutes walking distance to the Lagoons. You can walk to the other restaurants and the ABC store. It is a close drive to Costco, Target & Safeway. The bikes, water tubes, towels, chairs and a wagon were awesome to have at the property. Walking distance to the community pool/spa. It is very quiet. The grounds are well maintained and beautiful and everyone is so pleasant. The place is nicely decorated/comforting and the beds are very comfortable. Needs a little updating in the kitchen appliances, supplies and bathrooms, but it has what you need. The owner of the property is awesome and responds promptly. Great place to stay. Highly recommend.

Such a great little place to stretch out and really enjoy life in Hawaii. The proximity to the beach and shops/restaurants/activities was convenient, but removed enough from the hustle and bustle to be able to truly rest and enjoy the space. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly, with great walking paths and nice neighbors. The beds are SUPER comfy and the space tastefully decorated and smartly laid out. Kitchen had everything you might need to whip up anything from a quick lunch, to a multi-course dinner, to after dinner drinks/coffee. Property manager was courteous and prompt along with great suggestions. The pool and bbq area was a nice treat as well. So grateful for the opportunity to stay here and hope to return many times over. Mahalo nui!

The entire family (ages 23-76) really enjoyed this place. We will always have special memories of sitting out on the lanai each morning with our Costco purchased 100% Hawaiian coffee and watching the birds. The easy access to some amazing beaches and resorts made us actually like Oahu for the first time since we are not lovers of Honolulu or Waikiki because of the crowds and metropolitan feel. The neighborhood was ideal with amazing and well-kept landscaping. Inside the townhome we took much advantage of the kitchen stocked with all the pots, pans, appliances and dishes we needed to regularly make some great breakfasts, lunches and dinners. Having three full bathrooms was perfect for our family, and having one bedroom and bathroom on the first floor was ideal for our parents who stayed with us for a few weeks. You cannot beat the access to shopping at places like Costco, Safeway, Target and Walmart for everything you need during your month. We had a few issues come up during our time, but Darren (property manager) was always very quick to respond to any issues we had and addressed them. All-in-all, we loved the place and would return if we are able to do another month in Oahu in the future!

We have stayed in Ko Olina many times. In the past we have always stayed at either the Marriott timeshare or at Disney Aulani. This time we decided to go for a month and rented this lovely condo. In terms of age/condition/cleanliness I would say it's very comparable to the Marriott property. The big advantage to the condo is getting more space to stretch out. Plus, being in the condo community gave us some sense of normalcy as we worked and did high school remotely. Yes the Wi-fi was just fine for multiple Zoom meetings at once. The one wi-fi issue I noticed (but kids didn't mention) is more of an island wide issue and that is latency not seen on the mainland. So I do a lot of my work on the cloud - like our data server and our email Exchange server. There was slight delays there but I do believe it had nothing to do with the wi-fi of this condo. Just mentioning this so you know the wi-fi is as good as it reasonably can be on the islands based on my research. Again, multiple Zoom meetings going at once and we were all fine. Of course, you aren't just there for the wi-fi right!? The pool was great but closed after one week for a complete renovation. It was closed 3 weeks and I am sure will be awesome now. It's probably a 150-200 feet to the pool. I heard re-plastering, new BBQs, new chairs, etc.... Plus they have a hot tub and big cabanas you can reserve for no charge. Also, they do have Wifi at the pool though we didn't use it. I did most of my work on the back patio which is completely shaded all day. About 9:00 am the sun came in from the west but as long as I stayed tucked against the slider I had no sun in my face. The patio turned out to be the place I spent the most time working, reading, relaxing. With the pool closed we walked to the beach every day. I think the lagoon at Disney is the closest. It's probably 10-15 minutes depending on how fast you walk. That's a good one as you go by the ABC Country Store so can pick up a sandwich or a drink on the way. We usually went to the Marriott beach as it was a little less crowded and perhaps a little bigger!? It was about a 15 minute walk. The Marriott bar is right there if you want an afternoon cocktail. Officially no alcohol on the beach though. Wink wink. Back at the condo we ate most of our meals there and the kitchen is well equipped. In fact, the whole condo was well equipped. Oh ya, I went to the gym every day. It was a 10 minute walk. Overall- great stay! Mahalo!

Fantastic property with everything you would need for a family holiday. Hosts were amazing with their thoughtfulness and care in making sure we were set up for our stay and you can tell that they are truly proud to share their home with us. The golf buggy was an ideal way to get around Ko olina and even without the buggy, beach was only 10-15 min walk through the golf course shortcut. Fantastic stay and would definitely recommend.

The home is beautiful. Very well appointed. Everything we needed for our family of 7. The owner was very responsive to all of our issues. Issue 1 no ice maker. Owner volunterred to refund for large bag of ice. Issue 2 ac did not work for 3 nights. Owner called in someone to repair it. Thank you for fixing it but it felt strange that we were being watched remotely by our ac use and the doorbell camera. The owner turned down the ac one morning when she thought we were all out of the house when only 5 of the family left. We awoke to 81 degrees. At that point we felt strange like we were being "watched". The Gem car was awesome. It was a pain to have to move the car each time we used it. But , we chose to use the Gem. It was fun. Overall a great stay. Comfy beds and lots of extras.

We really enjoyed the house. The master bed was very comfortable. We appreciated all the board games to play when we were in the house. We've stayed in other places where it's bare but this felt like a real home. The community was safe and quiet. The pool was nice and not too far away. The GEM car was fun and easy to use and we loved having beach chairs & toys to use at the lagoon. The only nuisance was moving the our rental car every time we wanted to use the GEM car as there was no where else to park. Beautiful vacation!

My family and I really enjoyed staying here. The house was clean, well stocked, and beyond what you would expect for most places. Kathi was excellent and made sure we were well taken care of. We stayed for a month and would have loved to stay longer. The home was really comfortable and had everything we could have wanted. There were lots of extra items there for children and beach use that were appreciated as well. The location and neighborhood are great and easy walking distance to the lagoons. Golf carts are available but it was honestly easier to walk where we wanted. Several good restaurants and stores right there. You can’t beat it! We would gladly stay there again!

Also during our stay the coffee maker stopped working and she didn't have any problems replacing it. The condo has everything you need to make you enjoy Hawaii. Kitchen has everything for meal preparation as well as beach towels and baby stuff. If you are traveling to Oahu with a baby, Kathi's place will be ideally for your stay.
