In a wordâŠPERFECT. Perfect location. Perfect facilities. Perfect accommodations. Perfect weather. And not to be underestimatedâŠthe Perfect Property Manager. Cherie was the best! Details matter.
The view is perfect! We spent many hours on the lanai just taking in the beautiful view. The property is extremely well stocked. The owners have thought of everything. We will definitely return. Mahalo!
The villas in Ko Olina were the perfect way to do Oahu. Absolutely stunning views, perfect beach and walking distance to restaurants and fun. We will definitely be back!!!
The view and proximity to the lagoon is wonderful. We loved how the doors opened all the way allowing for an open air villa. The view is absolutely beautiful. You can watch the sunset over the ocean every night. There is a well stocked supply of beach equipment to use, which is really convenient and nice. There was some hair left in the tub when we arrived and a couple other little things, but it was mostly very clean and nice inside. The arrival tour was a bit much. I would suggest either waiting until guests are settled or making it way less long and detailed. After a six hour flight with a 4am wake up, none of needed to hear about every restaurant, bar, and activity let alone get extremely detailed instructions on every single appliance in the villa. Pointing out the manual that contains that info would be better. The parking spot is a joke. We couldn't physically get into our car when we returned to it. The spot is way too small. We had to send our child through the back hatch to turn it on and luckily our vehicle has the option to back up remotely. Absolutely ridiculous to even offer this spot without disclosing the fact that it renders your vehicle useless if the other spaces on either side are occupied by other vehicles. The paper said to talk to the front desk if there was an issue, but all they do is tell you that you can pay extra to park somewhere else. We just left our car in the EV charging space since we had to charge every night anyway.
Wonderful property with stunning view. Check in was seamless and any contact we needed was convenient and timely. We were 4 adults and 2 teens and had plenty of room and the unit had everything anyone would need to feel right at home. Would absolutely recommend staying here!
Everything was amazing, the only thing that I was disappointed in was the robes were horrible and the water was freezing but you canât do much about that except heat the water in the pool. I wouldâve thought for that much money, the robes wouldâve been new and soft instead of old and hard.
The grounds were beautiful and impeccable kept. Our property managers Sherry and Neil were incredible. Took care to make sure our stay was amazing. Thanksso much you two.
Everything about this place was just perfect from the Villa to the grounds and area. Staff were super polite and helpful with any questions and suggestions. This Villa has amazing sunset views and the lagoon is perfect for relaxing out on the water. We hope to make it back soon!!!
This was our first time in Ko'Olina - the location, unit, and the resort did not disappoint and exceeded our expectations. The onsite amenities for this resort are adequate and above average for a condo complex that had multiple hot tubs and two good size pools with a special wading pool for kids. There was also a small bar with live music in the evenings and is exclusive to the beach villas/not open to the public (happens to be below this unit, which was cool to listen to the music, but not great smelling cigar smoke in the evening). Obviously, this is not a hotel so no onsite restaurant, but that is what we were wanting. It's a short walk to the nearby hotel resorts with restaurants - you can see the vibe at those resorts is very BUSY compared to the beach villas. The lagoon in front of the beach villas is public (as all beaches in Ko'Olina are), but it is the smallest and the least busy of all of them from what we saw. The koi pond is huge and a great attraction for children.
This unit has the unique advantage of being as close to the ocean as you can get in all of Ko'Olina, which comes with breathtaking views of the ocean, beach, and sunsets. The minor disadvantages may be less privacy from the lanai since the unit fronts the beach side and is on the third floor (vs an upper floor unit) and being on the west side of the building, the breathtaking sunsets bring the sun directly into the unit for several hours in the late afternoon and it can get uncomfortably hot (even with doors closed, shade down, and A/C running). We didn't enjoy as many sunset dinners on the lanai as we had hoped for this reason.
We were traveling with small children and felt the unit was decorated in a way that is family friendly. Staying in a VRBO condo with small children can be stressful when units are cluttered with expensive and/or fragile decor, which was not an issue in this unit. A prior review indicated there was a portable crib and booster/high chair - when we reached out prior to our stay to confirm, we were told the unit did not have that equipment so we brought our own. It turns out that the unit had several portable cribs and a booster/high chair in the closet. Would have been great to have accurate information to avoid having to bring them from home, but it worked out fine for us as we are used to traveling with those items.
Overall, we enjoyed our stay and look forward to visiting this complex again in the future.
We just completed an 8 night stay at this property and it far exceeded our expectations! We were deciding between this unit and another, and ultimately chose this one because of the view. You absolutely cannot beat it! The condo was even better stocked than advertised. There were beach chairs, boogie boards, a beach wagon, and we found beach towels under the bathroom sink on our last day. Though we are out of the baby/toddler stage, it seemed well equipped for that as well - pack n play, booster high chair, etc. Our kids loved playing at the beach, but also took advantage of the beautiful pool. We enjoyed cocktails on the lanai while live music played in the evenings, just below us. Though we saw a lot of other people around the buildings, we never heard a single neighbor while in the condo. We were grateful to have a designated parking spot (the property actually has two designated spots), but were relieved that we rented a full sized sedan. Just note that the spots are tight and we noticed that people driving oversized SUVs had difficulty parking around us in the garage. We had the most incredible vacation and can't wait to come back to this same property!
My wife and I stayed at this wonderful property in the middle of September and thoroughly enjoyed it. All the photos of the property match the exact state of the property. You canât say that for all rentals. The kitchen was well appointed and there were many other extra amenities like beach chairs, wagon and umbrella yhat made it very enjoyable. The staff around the property is very nice and the view from the condo is amazing! I have to thank the last person who left a review and complained about the blender, because when we arrived there was a brand new blender there. Manny piña coladas were enjoyed on the lanai. Thanks to our host for making it such a great stay.
We had such a great experience staying at this property! It had the most amazing view of the ocean. Absolutely picturesque. Jordan was a great host and super accommodating!
Beach Villas at Ko Olina has by far exceeded our vacation expectations! We were traveling with children and they absolutely enjoyed themselves! Our view from our villa was spectacular! Thank you again! We will be back!!
The view from this unit is fantastic. Itâs just high enough to get a good view of the sunset but not too high to feel detached. A couple nights a week they have live music on the patio which is really nice to open the doors for. The owner of the unit even mailed back some jewelry that we accidentally left behind. Looking forward to staying here again next year.
Couldnât have been happier with the entire process, room, location, friendliness of everyone, orientation to the condo by Greg, everything was absolutely fantastic!
It was a dream waking up to the beautiful ocean/lagoon views and listening to the waves in the evenings on the lanai. Great location with a comfortable stay. The kitchen had everything we needed. And again⊠the views were amazing! We would love to stay in this unit again.
Note that the washer and dryer arenât the greatest (they are the same/similar in all the units). The laundry can smell a bit musty. But itâs still nice being able to run some small loads of clothes or towels. I ended up air drying some of my clothes to avoid the musty smell from the dryer.
Just a warningâthe parking space provided was a middle compact space. If the outer cars are there, depending on how close to the line they park, makes for a very tight spot. We were fortunate that while we were there only one spot was filled at a time. I believe the unit has 2 spaces. Iâm guessing if you canât fit the car they can provide a different space.
The only complaint we had was the floors were filthy when we checked in. We remove our shoes when we enter the home, and usually Hawaiian homes are the same. Our feet were black after walking barefoot in the unit. My husband used a mop (it was in the unit) to clean the floors. He had to go over the floors twice to get it clean.
Nice beachfront villa but not typical vrbo experience
First off this is a nice beachfront villa. It worked well for our family. It was just a bit weird in that we rent vrbos quite a bit and usually there is a detailed check in process and check out process or someone to ask quick questions during your stay. Here apparently there is a rental property company but they didnt do anything. They provided zero value. We asked about the check in process and they provided nothing. Apparently they were supposed to meet us and show us the room but didnt do that. We figured out the front desk would just give us the keys and do the check in. There was an Alexa in the room but it didnt help much. It was good for playing music. We had no idea how the check out process went. We had family in other units who had check out times of 12 noon. Ours apparently was 10 am based on a one page flyer on the counter with the wifi info. We called and texted the day before and asked to have 11:30 or 12 noon checkout time. No response. We called the morning of and they picked up and said we'll get back to you and no response. Great property but its like you have to figure everything out yourselves. If the owner of this unit is reading this... you're not getting what you're paid for with these Ola properties people. They provide zero value. We have a baby and asked them if there was a pack and play in the unit and they texted a link to rent them. We bought one at target upon arrival and when we got to the unit it had two pack and plays (cribs) in the closet. They were zero help. Nice villa but if you want a host that helps chose a different unit. We had family in another unit and their host was available and checked in on them and very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again because we loved the place but not if its managed by Ola properties.
This condo definitely lived up to all of our expectations. The location is amazing and the unit, building and amenities were great. The unit has all of the things you need to make this unit your home away from home. Would definitely recommend this location and would stay here again.
