Our Place of Joy: An Ocean Retreat

We had a perfect stay at Vicki's condo. Very nicely furnished, equipped and maintained. Pride of ownership is very evident. The ocean view was very nice to wake up to each morning and the short walk to the local beach for sunset was a nightly routine. Paradise Cove is a 5 minute walk so getting there for a beach day was very convenient. Vicki kept in touch and answered any question quickly. Mahalo Vicki.

Perfect Home Base for an Amazing Oahu Getaway We recently stayed at this beautiful VRBO rental in Oahu and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, everything was just as described—and even better in person.Location: The property was ideally located as part of Ko Olina (Place of Joy) Resort. The property was just a short walk to a beautiful walk along the ocean and the four lagoons of Ko Olin. It was close to local shops, restaurants, and one of Oahu’s best golf courses - Ko Olina Country Club. The Home: Clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained. Exactly as described. The kitchen was well-equipped, which made it easy to prepare a few meals at home. AC and WiFi worked perfectly, and there was plenty of space for us and our company.The Hosts: Our host was incredibly responsive and thoughtful, providing a helpful welcome packet and great local recommendations. Check-in and check-out were seamless.Highlights:* Walking distance to the beach/pool* Gorgeous sunsets from the lanai* Quiet neighborhood * Short drive to popular hikes, snorkeling spots, and dining experiencesWould we stay again? Absolutely! This home made our trip to Oahu even more memorable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing, authentic Hawaiian experience.Mahalo for an unforgettable stay!

Our family had an amazing time at Vicki’s condo. It was well prepared for our month stay. Vicki was extremely easy to communicate with! Out of the 5 of us I worked a couple of weeks of the stay. I was able to stay connected to my team in NY and hold meetings via Microsoft TEAMS with no interruptions. Ko Olina is a beautiful location and being so close to everything Kapolei has to offer made this a perfect location for an extended stay! The condo is situated so you enjoy coffee in the morning looking out over the ocean and end everyday taking in the sunset! The condo was clean and everyone had their own space.

Ko’Olina is a great location. Vicki’s place is well appointed and has everything you need for an enjoyable vacation.

Our family had an amazing stay at Vicki's beautiful condo! From start to finish, Vicki was a fantastic host—responsive, accommodating, and incredibly easy to work with. The condo itself was stunning, both inside and out. It was spotless, well-stocked with everything we needed, and the beds were incredibly comfy. We particularly enjoyed the beach accessories available in the garage, which made our beach days even more enjoyable. Waking up to the breathtaking ocean view each morning and watching the incredible sunsets in the evening were definite highlights of our trip. The condo truly provided all the comforts of home, and we miss it already. It has become our favorite place to stay in Oahu, and we can’t wait to return!

We stayed for the month of September and this condo was perfect in every way for our family. Very clean and comfortable, and very well appointed. Vicki has thought of every detail. She was very responsive before and during our trip, and went above and beyond to accommodate our needs. The location is perfect, walking distance to Paradise Cove and the lagoons, and only a short drive to Kapolei for shopping. "Our Place of Joy" exceeded our expectations in every way and we can't wait to come back! Mahalo Vicki!

We have stayed in the Ko Olina area 8 times in a dozen years at 4 different developments (Kai Lani, Ko Olina Kai, Fairways and Plantation). This was our favorite property to date. The unit and its available bedding were the perfect size for our family of 5, including 2 teenagers. More than adequately stocked family room, bathrooms and kitchen made for an easier Costco run upon arrival. Pool and grill area made for a great alternative on days when the lagoons were a little crowded. Nearby Kapolei has pretty much everything else you could need while on vacation. Special shout-out to Romy, the late afternoon-evening manager on duty. Hustled and bent over backwards to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves while on the property. Thank you, Vicki, for a great property.

Our stay was delightful. The furniture is comfortable and the appliances are really nice. We love it there.

If staying in Oahu 30 days or longer, Ko Olina area is excellent. Just far enough away from short term vacationers to have some quiet, but still close enough to all the tourism activities, when wanted.

Pros: Ko Olina is a fantastic destination and Kai Lani is a lush, beautiful complex within it. We’ve stayed in Kai Lani on three separate locations. This unit has a nice partial view of the ocean and is in a great spot within the complex. The owner was quick to respond to communications, check in/check out directions were very clear, and the garage is packed with things that you might otherwise end up buying (chairs, wagon, beach toys etc). Cons: The unit is in need of some R&M and a deep clean. Unit has not been maintained to the same standard as the complex itself, which is quite upscale. We ended up purchasing many household items that others might expect to find in a unit that requires a 30 day minimum stay (though that was offset by the items included in the garage). Overall, a pleasant stay in a beautiful corner of the world.

We really loved this place. My husband actually said its his favourite vacation rental ever, which is saying a lot. The condo has a wonderful layout and the kitchen is very well stocked with all the appliences and utencils etc you need for cooking. Paradise cove is just a short walk away where we would snorkle with turtles in the morning and play on the beach. The lagoons are also a short walk away. The kids loved the pool area. The big pool is heated, so our 2 year old could go in the water without shivering. There is also a wonderful hot tub there. Its was so nice hanging out by the pool and we made a lot of friends. Vicky is very nice and responsive. It was such a joy staying here. Highly recommended.

Vicki was an incredible host and the property exceeded our expectations. From the wonderful condo to the beautiful grounds and the short walk to incredible beaches, we had an amazing time during our stay.
