We really liked this unit at Ocean Villas. We had a ground floor unit which made it easy for our 1-year-old and 3-year-old to go out onto the grass and to get to the pool (which was behind a locked gate so they couldn't get in without us) which was just across from us. Unit location is also easy for access to the ocean beach which is quite nice. Unit itself is very spacious. We used the walk-in closet in the master suite as a spot to put a crib and it worked well since it was dark and away from any noise from the pool. The kitchen was well equipped although there was only salt and pepper and a spice rack so you need to provide absolutely everything else you might need to cook. We also took advantage of the Turtle Bay Resort next door for their coffee bar and to buy a few necessities. We discovered Keiki Beach which was not too far from Ocean Villas and was a nice sheltered spot for the children to play in. We did have a few issues--refrigerator leaked quite a bit once which we cleaned up, but no one came to help; there were a number of small cockroaches on the kitchen counters throughout our stay although we never left food out and were scrupulous about cleaning the counters; no one told us not to put eggshells in the garbage disposal so it clogged and took a day for maintenance to show up; the screen fell out of one of the bedroom windows and despite us trying to put it back twice, it would never stay in. Maintenance came to re-install it but at that time we had a napping toddler and couldn't let them into the unit, but they never came back. I think we expected a bit more after paying so much for this unit. I think any of these things would be easy to correct and I would still stay in this unit again. The North Shore is not that far from anywhere else on Oahu, but it seems much quieter. We really liked it.
