“Remote, quaint just outside the crowds of North Shore” Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the Orange Cottage at Owen's Retreat. Yes - it could use a little "sprucing up" like others have mentioned. This is not some swanky beach cottage. But we weren't really looking for that. It was peaceful and intimate. The ocean is literally feet away. The beach directly out front is not swimable - but drive either direction a few minutes and you have all kinds of beaches to swim at. 10 minute drive to the shops and restaurants of North Shore. The airplanes and helicopters were not an issue - it all stopped at night time. The caretakers were very sweet and around if you needed them.

“A great place to be when you need a break” This vacation home is perfect for people who loves to relax because it is close to the ocean, fresh air, nice convenient house, lots of flowers around the house to enjoy, fruits (like oranges, papaya), at the back of the house, not far from downtown, lots of crabs to eat, and best of all, warm, accommodating and hospitable hosts. You will feel at home for sure.

“Hawai'i Doesn't Get any Better” We've been staying at Mokuleia Beach Colony for over 30 years and this is one of the best units there. It's quaint, very clean and wonderfully decorated. The lanai (front porch for you main landers) is maybe the best location in all of Hawai'i to watch a sun set. We can walk on the beach to the east for almost a mile before we get to the first houses in town (Waialua) and all there is are horse pastures and forest on our right and ocean on our left and some amazing snorkeling and swimming holes. I've been finding my favorite Green Sea Turtle, most mornings for several years, about 100 yards off shore, sleeping under a large coral head. The swimming pool is great and there is a super tennis court. This is old "Country" Hawai'i. It doesn't get any better.

“Great way to "see" the real Hawaii” We enjoyed the sunsets, watching the surfers, close to the many activities available. We enjoyed the walks, swimming pool and watching for the whales. This is a great way to relax and enjoy the ocean. It was great eating at the small restr. and talking to the local people. Enjoyed their local markets. Just a great way to spend a vacation. Must have a car to get around.

“Perfect Getaway for a Relaxing Vacation” This villa was perfect for us. My parents, my husband, and I had an amazing vacation on Oahu at the Ko Olina Beach Villas. This particular villa is furnished beautifully with a gorgeous kitchen, top notch appliances, fantastic proximity to the beach, spas, restaurants and shops. I would definitely stay here again. The onsite staff were so helpful and kind, and the grounds are very well maintained. I would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone looking for a great value with an ocean and pool view, included parking, easy walk to the beach, and wonderful accommodations throughout the stay! Booking was easy, and the owner and her assistant were a pleasure to work with. The personal touch of having a greeter meet us in the lobby was very welcoming. Thank you for helping us have a memorable family vacation!

“Perfection in Paradise!” Ryan & Darlene's penthouse Ko Olina Beach Villa on the 14th floor is nothing short of first class luxury. Every amenity has been taken care of from the beautifully furnished two bedroom, two bathroom unit to the high tech kitchen with sub-zero refrigerator to the wireless internet & cable TVs. Even the swim gear is ready for snorkeling in the nearby lagoon! The views from the patio/balcony are breathless as we watched the sunrise and sunset over the blue Pacific Ocean each morning and evening. We took advantage of the gym, which had much nicer equipment than our paid gym membership back home, as well as the lap pool & spa and the kids pool. The close parking and private elevator up to the penthouse was also a nice feature (only one other unit on the floor, very quiet!). Ryan & Darlene are extremely gracious hosts/owners and will treat you like you're their friends. They will make you feel comfortable and make sure everything is taken care of during your stay. Blayne and Eric will also go out of their way to make sure all of your needs are taken care of during your visit. The photos on the site really don't do the condo true justice. It's much, much nicer than words or photos can ever describe. Don't take my word for it though. Go see for yourself and enjoy perfection in paradise at the Ko Olina Beach Villa.
