It was the perfect holiday! Fantastic weather, great food and lots of stories to share, and the accomodations were perfect. Some highlights were boating (seeing whales, dolphins and turtles), visiting Pearl Harbour, Swap Meet. Diamond Head, North Shore, plantation, and the kids surfing! New Year's Eve was incredible - dinner at Roy's and fantastic Fireworks at the Beach! Thanks for the memories, we will be back!

We had so much fun spending our Christmas break in Ko Olina, it surpassed our expectations! This is a beautiful villas and we loved everything!! We will be sure to come back here and stay. Our teanage daughter learned to surf, we hiked the rainforest, swam under a waterfall, jumped off a cliff into the water. We had so much fun, everything was planned day to day, and we would do it again. We had a great Christmas. Mahalo

Beautiful place to stay. We stayed there over Xmas holiday and New Year. The fact that it is away from all of the hastle and bustle of Honolulu is a plus. We did not need to go anywhere else to enjoy what Hawaii has to offer. Beautiful lagoon with a beach, good snorkling right there. If you want to see big waves North Shore is only a 30 minute drive. We did a lot of site seeing and driving, but at the end of each day we felt happy going back to our own oasis at the Beach Villas. Service was good and friendly. Our family (my husband and I and our two boys (13 and 10) were very impressed and would love to come back some day.

Wonderful condo! We stayed here for a week in November 2009, including the Thanksgiving holiday. There were four of us: my wife and I and our two teenage sons. The condo was great; everything was pretty new and clean, with high tech lighting and appliances. The sliding glass doors to the balcony opened wide to reveal a great view of the ocean (and some other buildings in the complex, too, but we weren't looking at those). Semi-private elevators to the unit made it seem like we had the place to ourselves. We were surprised at how few of the units in the complex were occupied during the time we were there. There were two very large pools and three jacuzzis on the premises, and these were practically empty a lot of the time. The grounds around the condo buildings were beautiful; we saw maintenance personnel working every morning we were there. While this is in a less-busy section of Oahu (which was to our liking), there was convenient shopping at Costco, Safeway, etc. just a couple of miles away. In addition, being on the west side of the island was quite convenient for scuba diving, as a number of dive operators run their boats from this side. There were a number of good restaurants in the area, some of which could be accessed by walking along the beachfront path between the condo complex and other resorts in the area. The worst part of our experience was that we had to go home at the end of the week... We highly recommend the Makai Family Vacations condo at Ko Olina!

This beautiful condo in a an awesome location was truly a dream vacation. Enough room to spread out (2 adults, 2 teenage children)with all amenities close by and easy to get around the island highways. Great view from the lanai, well equipped and very safe and secure. We would go back in a heartbeat.

This is our second summer holiday in a row staying at the Beach Villas. We have enjoyed our stay immensely each time. The vacilities are world class, and the accommodations are second to none! The arrangements have always been trouble free and the on-site staff have been courteous and helpful on both occasions. Our whole family is looking forward to returning again soon, and we highly recommend the Beach Villas to everyone!

We enjoyed a wonderfully relaxing vacation in your beautifully appointed condo surrounded by the lush tropicals of the Beach Villas with the gorgoeus colored ocean as a backdrop. Our 5 week vacation was beyond a dream, and we look forward to returning to your lovely "home away from home". How lucky we were to find you! Thank-you, Grant & Lorraine :)

We had the pleasure of staying in this villa during Spring break. It had everything we had hoped for and more. The furnishings were beautiful and the kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. We also used the BBQ's by the pools to grill. The villa is close to all that we needed and the weather was great. We would come back from a rainy island tour to lots of sun! The owners were very helpful and a pleasure to work with. We highly recommend this condo and the owners. It was a great vacation!

PARADISE! What a wonderful place to enjoy what has to be the best vacation our family has ever had. Everything was just as we could have hoped---top quality--immaculate suite, amazing beds (fabulous sheets!) -not to mention the spectacular view. Highly recommended.

Spectacular! A beautiful unit, perfectly and tastefully decorated and so comfortable. We love Ko Olina so this unit and proerty couldn't be more perfect. Though we used to look forward to staying at the Ihliani, we will now look forward to staying here as it is much more convenient and quiet. We had a wonderful vacation! Mahalo. Nui Loa and a hui hui.

We loved every minute at Ko Olina. The view was stunning and we had beautiful sunsets from the lanai. Although, we toured other parts of the Island, we enjoyed the peace and quiet of Ko Olina. Perfect location, close to everything we needed. A week wasn't long enough. We will visit again. Thank-you for a wonderful holiday.

We stayed at the condo for 2 weeks in June 2008 and had the greatest time. Being seasoned travellers,we have not been to a better resort with such a variety of pools,fitness, beaches and tours. This resort is simply first class. No details have been missed. The three bedroom condo is stunning and spacious. The lanai view amazing.

My wife and I were the first guests when this vacation home became available for rental two weeks ago, so I guess this will be the first comment. "WOW'! this is a beautiful, well-equipped vacation home which has everything you need. Quiet and secluded on a private ocean beach, great view, etc. What else can I say, just read the information on the website and believe it!! We will be back for longer stays this fall and next winter for sure.
