What can I say about this Villa and this location other than "Wow".
The location of KoOlina, just outside Kapolei on the west side of Oahu was amazing and beautfiul. The just 1 or 2 year old grounds of the Ko Olina Beach Villas were awesome. Huge Lagoon pool, a 1 foot deep with sandy bottom kids pool, a lap pool, and 3 hot tubs were excellent. My family of 2 children ( 6 & 16 months) plus 4 adults were extremely comfortable and happy here. We all had our own rooms, and our own bathrooms. The location was quiet, and peaceful, and we enjoyed sitting by the pool under the umbrella tables drinking a pina colada and watching the kids frolic in the pool. The paved beach walk between Marriot Timeshares at lagoon 4 and Marriot Ihalani at lagoon 1 was fantastic, especially at sunset. The lagoons out front of the Villa were a 4-5 minute walk from the front door of the Villa through the amazing garden, koi ponds, and already mentioned pools. We also drove up to Kapolei which is exit 1B off the Farrington HWY, and went to Costco to stock up on Gifts for friends, buy steak for the 1 of 4 wolf BBQ's available for use ( never a line up ) We also hit Safeway for our smaller food needs. The Villa has plasma tvs on the wall of the bedrooms and the living room, and is stocked with a fridge with ice maker, cutlery and dishes.
Dealing with the owners was flawless, they were reachable by cellphone and email ( free wi-fi in the Villa ) and were very accomodating to some special requests we had, such as turnover time, request for a high chair, and baby play pen for our 16 month old to sleep in. They had a stool for helping my 6 yr old reach the sink, and a closet stocked with a cooler for road trips, boogie board, play toys for the beach, beach matts, and beach folding chair.
As you can read we were very happy, and were sad to leave.
A rental car is advisable to get out to the KoOlina gated community (25 min drive from airport), and to explore the island.
Highly recommend booking this unit. You will not be disappointed with this 5 star accommodation.
