Hawaiian Haven @ KoOlina Kai // Family Friendly, near pool

For a small or large family, nothing beats this condo and location. The space was large and comfortable and within walking distance to each lagoon and the three major hotels. You can take a shortcut through the adjacent property to reach the marketplace, Four Seasons (fantastic food and spa), Aulani, and the first two lagoons. Walk through Roys for lagoon 3 and the main road for lagoon 4. We wish we didn’t have to leave.

Great location, great amenities, great communication with owner! Not only do I recommend renting this unit, we are now returning guests.

This property was clean and extremely comfortable. We felt right at home immediately. There were plenty of amenities.. everything we needed. The bed was comfortable, the bedding was high quality. The bath towels were fluffy and large. There were plenty of large beach towels, beach chairs, and beach toys/snorkel gear. The kitchen amenities included a variety of small appliances, quality pots/pans, baking supplies, crockpot, and 3 different types of coffee pots to meet everyone's need. The living room furniture was comfy and sat us comfortably for watching TV or relaxing after a long day. The lanai has a nice table with 4 chairs to enjoy meals outdoors, a morning cup of coffee, or an evening cocktail. Kathi, our host, was very helpful and a great communicator. We had a small maintenance issue that she addressed immediately. The condo was large enough for a family or multiple couples traveling together. The bedrooms were of ample sized with lots of storage space/closets. Our stay was wonderful and would definitely stay again!

We have stayed in Ko Olina many times. In the past we have always stayed at either the Marriott timeshare or at Disney Aulani. This time we decided to go for a month and rented this lovely condo. In terms of age/condition/cleanliness I would say it's very comparable to the Marriott property. The big advantage to the condo is getting more space to stretch out. Plus, being in the condo community gave us some sense of normalcy as we worked and did high school remotely. Yes the Wi-fi was just fine for multiple Zoom meetings at once. The one wi-fi issue I noticed (but kids didn't mention) is more of an island wide issue and that is latency not seen on the mainland. So I do a lot of my work on the cloud - like our data server and our email Exchange server. There was slight delays there but I do believe it had nothing to do with the wi-fi of this condo. Just mentioning this so you know the wi-fi is as good as it reasonably can be on the islands based on my research. Again, multiple Zoom meetings going at once and we were all fine. Of course, you aren't just there for the wi-fi right!? The pool was great but closed after one week for a complete renovation. It was closed 3 weeks and I am sure will be awesome now. It's probably a 150-200 feet to the pool. I heard re-plastering, new BBQs, new chairs, etc.... Plus they have a hot tub and big cabanas you can reserve for no charge. Also, they do have Wifi at the pool though we didn't use it. I did most of my work on the back patio which is completely shaded all day. About 9:00 am the sun came in from the west but as long as I stayed tucked against the slider I had no sun in my face. The patio turned out to be the place I spent the most time working, reading, relaxing. With the pool closed we walked to the beach every day. I think the lagoon at Disney is the closest. It's probably 10-15 minutes depending on how fast you walk. That's a good one as you go by the ABC Country Store so can pick up a sandwich or a drink on the way. We usually went to the Marriott beach as it was a little less crowded and perhaps a little bigger!? It was about a 15 minute walk. The Marriott bar is right there if you want an afternoon cocktail. Officially no alcohol on the beach though. Wink wink. Back at the condo we ate most of our meals there and the kitchen is well equipped. In fact, the whole condo was well equipped. Oh ya, I went to the gym every day. It was a 10 minute walk. Overall- great stay! Mahalo!
