I'm a flyertalker and a homeowner here. Nice place for a family vacation on Oahu with a beautiful beach.
We had been shopping for a place to buy for a while and this was the first place we found on Oahu that gave us a luxurious feel similar to what we enjoy at a Four Seasons or Ritz Carlton. Not quite as large as the Wailea Beach Villas on Maui but still pretty nice with 1,200 - 1,800 sq. ft. of space.

Nice touches like Hypnos mattresses in the Ocean View Villa.
FYI: Hypnos is the holder of the Royal Warrant to the British Royal Family and supplier of bedding to the Queen of England. Same four poster bed in the Master Bedroom that is in one of Martha Stewart's homes.
Sub Zero and Wolf appliances in the Kitchen, African Sapelli Wood trim and Travertine floors.
The grounds include a children's sand bottom pool, lagoon pool and lap pool along with three Jacuzzi's. The four lagoons in Ko Olina are pretty amazing too. You might see Tripod, the three legged Turtle swimming in the lagoon at the front of our property. There is a concierge on staff
(we pay their salary through our homeowners association dues) and a wonderful gym with men's and women's locker rooms with Sauna and Steam Room in each. The fitness center is top notch. My son the football player works out here and likes the assortment of equipment.

Drawbacks would be no on-site restaurant and the Beach Bar has limited hours. A five minute walk in either direction along the beach will lead you to beach front dining at either of the two Marriott properties on either side of us or you can stroll over to Roy's on the 18th hole. Also, one exit down
(5 minute drive) is a Target, Costco & Safeway for groceries.
Our kids want to eat as soon as they wake up so we cut up fresh pineapple, mango's and papaya while cooking up some Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice for breakfast.
The property just had it's second birthday and some of the guests and
"new friends" who have stayed have come back four or five times. A good testimony to the quality of the property and the
"Aloha" spirit of the staff.
