Elena’s place is a large 3 bedroom apartment located in an older neighbourhood right beside Ko Olina. As a family of 4 (2 young children) and grandparents, the apartment was spacious and we had enough room for everyone. The beds and living room sofas were comfortable and it was quiet, though there is a bit of noise from the dogs in the area, and the highway which is a few blocks away in the early am rush hour if the windows are open (we like fresh air rather than AC). Kitchen is well equipped with the necessities and everything was clean.
The neighbourhood is older and not fancy like the new developments in Kapolei but everyone we met on the streets while walking to Ko Olina were very friendly and it felt safe. You also can’t forget that it’s a 5 minute drive or very enjoyable 20 - 25 minute walk to the Ko Olina lagoons through the golf course, which for the amount of space and price, it’s amazing.
There is also a great selection of boogie boards, beach chairs, umbrellas, beach toys and a nice gazebo area that add to the value of the space.
We would stay there again without hesitation next time we are in Oahu.
