Beautiful place

Your place was beautiful. The amenities on site were great, and the kids loved the pool area. There was plenty of room for my wife and I, the kids, and my mother-in-law. I especially liked the way that the windows opened up to the lanai. I liked the fact that we were out of Honolulu, yet still close enough to get there if we needed to. I heard on a number of occassions that "this is the nicest place ever". Unfortunately we only got to use the ocean once as it rained a number of days while we were there ... (but) even with that we will definitely keep your place in mind in the future. Thanks again.

Fabulous Holiday Destination

I stayed in this condo for 10 days with my 2 daughters aged 18 & 22 and we all had a very relaxing and enjoyable holiday.The condo and destination surpassed all our expectations. The condo was very comfortable and the owners provided many thoughtful extras that added to our enjoyment , The resort was well run and maintained and the facilities were of a high standard. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The location was an easy drive from Honolulu airport and everything we wanted to do was very close and easy to get to. The owner was very helpful, trustworthy and easy to deal with. I can't recommend this condo highly enough for anyone looking for a peaceful and relaxing holiday, yet close to many attractions. All 3 of us would love to stay there again.

We had a wonderful vacation! Your place was perfect for our family. The Beach Villas Resort is magnificent & your condo was ideal. Sitting on the patio, sipping wine & watching the sunset was therapeutic & I loved the well equipped kitchen.. We hope to return again in a few months. Be well. Gloria

Just wanted to drop you a quick note and thank you so much for renting us your condo last week. We had the BEST time there. The condo was spotless, beautiful, and comfortable. We slept very well - the beds are great. The staff at the Villas were so sweet and accommodating. My parents were in awe at how much nicer a vacation can be in a condo as opposed to a hotel room. The children loved alternating swimming in the pool to the cove and we even saw several turtles while snorkeling! The sunsets were gorgeous from the deck of the condo. We explored almost every side of the island and decided that we could absolutely NOT have found a better place to stay. One of my kids was actually crying as we drove away. What more could we ask for?? We already have and will continue to recommend your condo and Ko Olina resorts to everyone! **For those considering renting this condo, the owner is very easy to work with and prompt to reply. His deposit and cancellation policy is the most reasonable one we have come across. Ko Olina is about 20 - 30 mins from Honolulu - not too close yet not too far. Perfect location and the absolute nicest resort on the island.

When we walked into the condo, our three daughters exclaimed, "Wow!" And it just got better from there. It was a treat to cook in the beautifully appointed kitchen, our girls enjoyed the tv's in their bedrooms (which they don't have at home), and best of all, we loved eating our dinners on the spacious lanai, watching the sun set. Usually, the highest compliment we can pay is to say that it was like a home away from home. In this case, frankly, the condo was much more upscale than our own house! Every day we swam in the lagoon and then the girls would have long discussions as to whether we should go to the lagoon pool or the quieter lap pool. It was our best Hawaiian vacation yet and definitely a memorable way to spend our oldest daughter's 21st birthday. Thank you for your hospitality! Gina C., California

Our vacation was magnificent. One for the memory books. The pre-tropical depression storm weather was quite perfect, highs of 88 and lows of 78. The trade winds kept the scorch off this pale NW family skin as well as keeping the tropical bugs from becoming too friendly. Specific to your home away from home, ..., I particularly enjoyed the kitchen with all the latest wizardry, although we did just as much or more cooking on the gas grills down by the pool. With Costco and Safeway being so close, it made deciding on a restaurant a non-issue. The beds must have been very comfortable, as I don't recall they being otherwise at all ... yet always rested in the mornings. Of course by the time we were finished with a day of sunning, surfing lessons, snorkeling to find turtles in the lagoon or golf or tennis or taking a casual drive up to North Shore ...the days were full and we were tired. In the evenings, it was a treat to come home to park in a secured garage, go up to the condo to open the sliding doors wide open and take in the warm moist evening air. The team in the lobby were gracious, hospitable and professional. Beau, Summer, Heaven and Debbie were gems. Even the security guys were always smiling. ..., I'll be satisfied as a tourist and rent your piece of paradise again some day.

I really can't think of the words that will sincerely show you how much me & my family enjoyed your villa. I don't believe that THANK YOU is sufficient. Your villa is breathtaking. The views & decor were very relaxing. We had the time of our life! We are planning our next trip down there. I'm positive you will hear from us again. Again, we truly appreciate you sharing your villa with us. THANKS!!!!!! Sherri Harris

Aloha! I just wanted to say THANK YOU for allowing us to stay in your beautiful place at Ko Olina. Our vacation was amazing and so was our time spent at the resort! We fully intend to make it back to Oahu during the summer of 2011 and will be contacting you as we approach that time. Your home was beautiful and we truly enjoyed staying there. Thank you again!

I ... had intended to ... let you know how very much we loved staying in your villa. It is absolutely gorgeous, and it made our vacation very restful and relaxed. Things had changed a little since we were at Ko' Olina last year, but all the changes were for the good. You and your family are very fortunate to have such a beautiful home away from home. Thank you for sharing it with us. We sincerely hope to contact you in the future to stay at your villa again.

We had a wonderful time! Ko Olina is beautiful and your condo is great. The kids enjoyed both the pool and the beach lagoon tremendously and we enjoyed the tranquility of the area. We'll certainly recommend it to friends and family and hope to go back ourselves sometime soon. Many thanks, daniele

This was a wonderful experience for my family! The owner was highly communicative prior to and after our stay ~ the home was beautiful and had ample space for us all. We spent many nights on our deck watching the amazing sunsets after whipping up a BBQ meal by the pool. Even with 4-5 visitors for dinner we were not cramped. The pool is perfect for kids... not too deep but adequately so for older kids and adults. DON'T LOOK ANYWHERE ELSE! ;) This is a great pick! We will be back~
