This was the most amazing vacation! Staying at this Villa (B-709) was a dream come true. We had a perfect view of the ocean, the pristine lagoons and the beautiful grounds at the Ko'Olina Beach Villas. We spent so much time on the Lanai and just enjoyed the breathtaking view. The sunsets were spectacular! Meg was our main contact to make the reservations and answered my many questions. Our on-site hostess was Nicole, she greeted us at the front desk of the resort and showed us around the Villa and gave us lots of good information. Some of our favorites: Visiting the ABC Island Market - trust me - the food there is fabulous! We actually enjoyed the Prime Rib dinner on two different occasions. They have lots of yummy options that are very affordable. Some great activities in the area (for all ages) are: Train Ride from the Hawaiian Railway Society - only has train rides on a few days of the week. Of Course - Snorkeling in the Lagoons! We also saw dolphins (from our Lanai) playing in the ocean. We didn't get to take the Catamaran ride out of the Ko' Olina Marina, but it looked like it would be a great activity. Some of our family hiked Diamond Head and Snorkeled in Hanauma Bay - important information - you need reservations for both of these activities. We also visited a number of the beautiful Botanical Gardens and found new places to visit: Lyon Arboretum , Ho'omaluhia, KoKo Crater, Manoa Falls, and now our new favorite place to visit is Tantalus Lookout. (especially at sunset!) We really looked forward to going back to the Villa each evening. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds were comfortable, and it has great air conditioning. The Lanai runs completely across the front of the Villa - from the Master bedroom, to the main living area, then to the guest room. The Villa had two nice sized bedrooms and bathrooms. Nice big dining and living room areas, fabulous kitchen with everything you would need to cook all types of meals. Many spices were available for us to use, plus they also had Tupperware, laundry soap, dish soap, paper towels, etc. The closet in the master bedroom had all sorts of great beach items - chairs, boogie boards, snorkeling gear and even a wagon to take everything to the beach! No doubt that this will be the only Villa we will book for future vacations. Thank you Meg, Nicole and Andre for the most wonderful vacation ever!!
