These place is wonderful place to stay at. Especially if you got a big fmaily. It overlooks the beach and also a really short walk to beach logoon where you able to swim and snorkel and see some cool fishes. There also plenty of rooms for the family and kitchen to make your meals if you dont want to spend money on going out to eat. If you do its not to far away from Costco/stores and restaurants. Definitely would recommend it.

The condo is beautiful and was perfect for our family of 6. The balcony was my favorite part given the size and view. The location is great being so close to the beach, and it was really quiet. Beds were super comfortable and condo was nice and clean.

Fantastic location, can’t beat the closeness to the beach without all the busyness of other hotel guests. The lagoon waves were calm. Great for little kids, although my teens wished for a little more action. There were plenty of beach chairs and toys and a cart for our stay which came in handy. Rooms were comfortable, condo clean and quiet, and communication was fantastic. Fitness center was a bonus. A special spot!

We had an amazing stay at this VRBO! The property and villa were absolutely beautiful, and everything exceeded our expectations.The host was fantastic with communication from start to finish. Check-in was seamless—the concierge met us upon arrival, helped with our luggage, and gave us a quick tour of the villa, which was a great touch.The unit itself was spacious, very clean, and had the most incredible view—perfect for watching the Hawaiian sunset each evening. Being right on the beach was a huge bonus, and we even got to see a monk seal napping on the shore, which was such a memorable experience!The villa was well stocked with beach chairs, towels, and everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Having a washer and dryer, as well as a dishwasher, made things so convenient. The appliances were very nice, although they did take a bit longer to heat up (as mentioned during check-in), so just something to be aware of.The location is a bit farther from some of the main activities, but we actually loved that—it gave the area a more relaxed, low-key vibe that made the stay even more enjoyable.We would absolutely recommend this villa and would love to stay here again!

We had another wonderful family vacation in BT404. The unit is in a perfect location for the Koi feeding events each day as well as close easy access to the fabulous pool and gorgeous, uncrowded sandy beach. This is our second time having a two family gathering at the KoOlina Beach Villas, This time with 21 people and multiple units. Moms, Dads, kids and Grandparents. We highly recommend Renu’s unit and look forward to returning again and again.Renu, our host is always very responsive to any request. There are many extras, lots of beach towels, cart to wheel the beach toys and the many chairs for use at the beach….and watching the sunrise and sunset.

P.S. Please note a correction to the review response for the 6/11-6/20 2025 stay: there are in fact grilling tools in the villa. they may not have been easily visible. For future guests, please note the grilling tools are wrapped in a denim cloth carrying case (for save and secure travel to the pool grills) and stored in the cabinet to the right of the sink, under the pots/pans shelf. There are several tools in the case for your enjoyment. Mahalo, Renu

This property was gorgeous. We took extended family and had our own private spaces when we wanted. The condo had great views of the ocean abd the balcony was inviting in the early morning and into the evening. There dining options and shopping near by. It was a food base for our daily excursions. Would highly recommend.
Excellent villa, superb location, easy logistics and check in/out processes. We couldn't ask for much more. Highly recommend to those with larger parties looking for a relaxed time.

About the host
Hosted by Renu Kulkarni
Our family lives in Chicago and we purchased this paradise escape when the Beach Villas were built. While we love the vibrancy of Chicago, warm weather is always on our minds. Plus we have always had an emotional attachment to the Hawaiian Islands and Polynesia having worked in Oahu and New Zealand years ago. Not a surprise therefore that our daughter is named after a Hawaiian princess!!
Why they chose this property
We wanted a place which combined big city energy, excitement, amenities, and attractions, with calm, unspoilt, and uncrowded beaches; warm, wonderful folks as neighbors; and all the pleasures of a 5-star+ resort. That place is the Ko Olina Beach Villas Resort -- a 30-minute drive to Waikiki and a 40-minute drive to Kailua on H3; in a gated exclusive property on Oahu's calm and unspoilt western or Leeward shore. Our villa, aptly named 'Hale Akala 404' which in Hawaiian means 'Home of the Sun', is a luxurious 3 BA/3 BA villa designed on Feng Shui principles: - in the Beach Tower which is the only building directly fronting the beach - on the 4th floor of a 8 floor building, - with unobstructed views of the ocean and the Waianae mountain ranges from a large lanai - tasteful Asian-inspired art, and furniture which allow the ocean breezes to flow through the villa - top-of-the-line bed and bath linens - and a Roy Yamaguchi designed chef's kitchen
In addition, we have all the amenities that one would want in a vacation -- lap/lounge pools, jacuzzi, beach bar, top-notch fitness center, assigned underground parking, and the best resort staff you will ever meet -- from Moon Kahele who leads ukelele playing and koi feeding lessons for the keiki (kids), to Summer and her staff that lead you through lei-making sessions, to David and his staff who are there to attend to your every need.
We have been to all the Hawaiian islands and each has it own charm. We really saw all of the islands in one place -- at Ko Olina. An outer island experience with all the amenities that discerning travelers have come to expect for their ever so rare vacations.
As an old commercial said, 'We liked it so much that we bought the company'!! We invested in our villa because we loved it and everything that came with it -- material and spiritual. As our esteemed guests, we hope you feel the same.
What makes this property unique
Anything that you want to do. If the Beach Villas don't have it, the concierge can suggest it for you, either on the Ko Olina property or indeed anywhere on Oahu or indeed in Hawai'i.
