  We've visited Hawaii over a dozen times, and this is by far the best place we've stayed. The condos at the Ko'Olina Beach Villas resort are spacious and luxuriously appointed. This 9th floor unit has a spectacular ocean view, and was the perfect spot for our extended family vacation. Mike was a pleasure to communicate with during the reservation process, and he obviously takes great care to make sure that his guests have all of the things needed for an enjoyable stay. We will return in the future!

  Every thing about this condo was wonderful,clean,the view,the decor. We were here twice and look forward to being able to return, our children and grand children also loved everything about it, the pools,the lagoons,sandy beachs, the turtle lagoon that you could walk too, you could also watch the whales from the balcony. The setting of this condo is paradise,we can,t say enough about it. Eric was there to greet us and help us with all our questions and to take care of our needs,should there be any. Michael,the owner, was always quick to reply to any emails or phones calls and answer any questions that we had. There was also an ABC store within walking distance as well as restaurants. Look forward to returning to paradise.

  This is the real deal! Words can't describe how amazingly beautiful this condo and its resort property are! Mike (the owner) was easy to work with regarding booking, and Eric greeted us onsite in a friendly, courteous fashion for our orientation. The pictures don't do justice to showcase how state-of-the-art, modern, and clean the condo was. We loved the kitchen (!) and appreciated the quiet a/c. The highlight was definitely the lanai with the sliding doors that open up the kitchen and family room to look out at the ocean! The condo includes extras like 2 playpens, a high chair, beach umbrella, tons of water & sand toys (even water shoes for kids of all sizes), books, board games, coloring books & magazines. The beds were amazing to sleep on, the linens were luxurious, and even bathroom toiletries were provided (blowdryer, Hawaiian shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion). Since we were travelling with an 11 month old, we didn't get to leave the area much for tours (naptimes complicated things!), but we did not feel hard done by. This villa was the ideal set-up because we could swim and enjoy the koi pond and beach at a leisurely pace. We took lots of walks along the boardwalks to the 4 lagoons. Our lagoon was the quietest and had the best snorkelling. You didn't even have to swim far- most of the fish were on the rock outcroppings just a few feet from shore. We even saw a sea turtle! (Sidenote: we snorkelled at Hanauma Bay, which was great for quantity of fish, but our lagoon was comparable for fish variety). The grounds all along the boardwalk are well maintained with lighting, water fountains, showers, and washrooms along the way. The grass is pristine turf like on a golfcourse green. It was so easy to walk across to the neigboring golf course, restaurants, marina, and shopping area (there's a little ABC grocery store that sells everything!). Major amenities such as Costco and Walmart and outlet stores are within minutes of driving, and we were surprised to discover the waterpark, movie theatre, and Podium Raceway (indoor highspeed go karts) in Kapolei were less than 10 minutes driving. We also enjoyed shopping at the Aloha Stadium marketplace! Overall, we loved this condo. Not only was Mike great to work with and the condo lived up to our expectations, but it was the best priced. The gated community of Ko Olina is pristine, luxurious, and peaceful. I highly recommend this location rather than staying in noisy, busy, old Waikiki.

  My wife, four teen-aged sons and I spent a wonderful relaxing week in early May at this beautiful villa in Ko Olina. The location is truly idyllic: fronting on a sandy ocean lagoon where you can snorkel with tropical fish (and turtles if you're lucky!), adjacent to a spectacular golf course, away from the hustle and bustle of the city but still close enough to all points of interest and amenities. Our family spent many hours snorkelling in the lagoon, relaxing on the beach with a cooling tropical breeze, walking the beach and beach-side walkways and swimming in the beautiful pools. The pictures do not do justice to the villa and grounds of the property - truly gorgeous! Our family felt truly blessed to have had an opportunity to spend a week in such an unforgettable and memorable resort. The owners did an excellent job communicating with us in making our booking, greeting us on arrival and follow up after our stay - first class and professional! Many thanks for a relaxing and memorable stay in a little piece of heaven! We hope to have an opportunity to return again soon!

  Wonderful spotlessly maintained condo with gorgeous outlook. Huge lanai with slide away doors. A choice of excellent swimming pools. The most comfortable beds and beautiful decor. Fabulous designer kitchen with a large fridge. Perfect for our family including 4 teenagers. Mike was very professional and helpful at every stage from our first enquiries to having someone meet us and show us the facilities. We found this location scenic and serene. We loved the walking track and it's proximity to other activities eg water park and shopping.

  Stayed here with my wife and 3 kids under 12. Woke to the sunset and birds singing off the master bedroom patio on the East side every morning and took most meals on the large West side lanai overlooking the ocean. The lagoons are great for small kids. No waves make it through to shore and my kids were face to face with large green sea turtles and a large variety of fish almost every day. There is great surfing nearby at White Plains Beach and I highly recommend Hawaiian Fire for surf lessons if you have young kids. They use a beach 10 minutes from Ko Olina and had all my kids surfing in minutes. They're all firefighters and really focus on water safety. The suite itself was spacious, very clean and had all the amenities of home. The pictures do not really do it justice. The greeting service was friendy, fast, pro-active and informative and made for an efficient arrival for our family which was really appreciated in view of the fact that we got in late with small kids. Our checkout was effortless and our damage deposit was quickly refunded. My wife was very impressed with Aulani spa next door. The restaurants at Aulani and the nearby Marriott were very good but even better were the Brick Oven Pizza Restaraunt and Assagio's Italian Restaraunt at exit 1-E, five minutes drive from the suite. These restaraunts rely on locals and obviously had to be consistently good. Morimoto's in Waikiki, 25 minutes away, was the best Japanese restaraunt we have been to. Rooftop tennis was easily accessed at the Ihilani resort a 5 minute walk from this property-this is something I wish I would have known about at check in but we found it soon enough on our own. The location was also great for exploring the island. We made several day trips to the North Shore up H2, the Windward Shore and Lani Kai down H3, and into Wakiki. None of those spots is more than 4o minutes away from Ko Olina and the drive through the H2 tunnel, which cuts through a mountain from the West side to the East side and then onto an elevated highway over trees and surronded by waterfalls is worth taking to marvel at this marriage of engineering and natural beauty. I would highly recommend this property to friends and family.

  Absolutely beautiful. I cannot say enough about what a terrific time we had in this condo. The Lagoons were just awesome.We saw a sea turtle snorkeling in the lagoon out front. We would highly recommend this condo and location in Hawaii, on the beautiful Ko'lina property. Thank you so much, Mike

  This condo was absolutely gorgeous! The ocean view was beautiful to wake up to every morning along with the resort's lovely grounds. We've been to Hawaii numerous times on various islands and have stayed at both hotels and condos...This is definitely rated as one of our family's top places to stay! The condo was spotless and the amenities were very up to date..the kitchen was great and it was nice to have the lanai open completely so that we can have dinner while enjoying the open air. Mike was great to deal with and he made the whole experience worry free! Will definitely come back!
