Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Alfred and Deanna's beautiful Ko' Olina Beach Villa unit. It fit our needs perfectly! It was well appointed and accommodated me, my husband and our 4 adult children very comfortably. The lanai was absolutely wonderful and while there is another of the villa's buildings between their unit's location and the lagoon/ocean, we still thought the views of the ocean on either side, as well as the villa's beautiful grounds, koi pond and pool were very beautiful! The pictures don't do the view justice! Beautifully relaxing space! The unit was exactly as described and represented in the photographs. Great layout! Our only issue, which quite frankly wasn't a big deal, was that the TV's cable and specialty options like Netflix were not working properly in any of the rooms. Since we truly were not there to spend time watching tv, we did not contact the 24 hour staff that is there or Nadia. It apparently could have easily been resolved had we chose to contact them. The wifi worked seamlessly so that was great for using our iphones, ipads and laptops. My husband and I were stationed at the Marine Corps Base on Kaneohe Bay back in the late '90s and can honestly say that the Kapolei and Ko' Olina area is beautifully developed, strategically located for getting to other areas of the island and the airport. The area has great amenities that are just minutes from the Ko'Olina resort area and has one of the best Luaus on the island at Paradise Cove. My husband and I had been to this luau in years past but brought our kids so they could also experience it since it was conveniently located right there by the Beach Villa. We thought all of Alfred's info was extremely helpful especially regarding the neighboring resorts, Disney's Aulani and the Marriott. The character buffet at Aulani is very expensive but the Marriott has an awesome outdoor breakfast buffet that is reasonably priced with a gorgeous view! We very much enjoyed it! We also enjoyed both Monkeypod and Roy's for dinner options and made a point while on the North Shore to go get Matsumoto's Shave Ice. It won't disappoint and Haleiwa is such a quaint beach community to relax, eat and shop after spending time on the North Shore beaches. The other great thing about Alfred and Deanna's place are the beach chairs, pool/beach toys and snorkel gear. We were able to use their snorkel gear when we went to Hanauma Bay so we didn't have to rent it there or purchase ourselves; although we do recommend getting water shoes for snorkeling there. Very much worth a stop by Target if you don't have them already. Saves your feet and much easier than using fins which really aren't necessary. Lastly, my personal favorite was the fact that the beautiful pools at the villa and the lagoon were not as big and overrun with guests as the other resorts. It...
