This 3 bed 2.5 bath condo in the Beach Villa Resort Ocean Tower complex worked perfectly for our family vacation. The floorplan flowed smoothly from bedrooms in the back, all the way out to the lanai. The master bedroom had a beautiful walk-in shower and deep soaking tub. The well appointed kitchen made it easy to prepare meals, and having stores 10 minutes away made shopping very convenient. Opening up the sliding wall of window doors, the view from the 3rd floor lanai was amazing, as it overlooked the quiet pool courtyard, palm trees and ocean visible in the distance. There were two highlights for the kids; feeding the abundant koi in the ponds, and swimming in the lagoon pool. The sandy beach and shallow swim area at one end were perfect for the younger ones. Just behind the pool, you left the gated property and crossed the walking path to a man-made lagoon, connected to the ocean by shallow inlets. These inlets allowed sea water exchanges with the lagoon, but kept the water calm at the beach for the children. There was an ample assortment of reef fish in the rocky parts of the lagoon for the snorkelers.
Being on the dry side of the island the weather at the resort was the best on Oahu almost every day. Travel time to the various sightseeing destinations was usually under an hour. Closer to the condo, it was only a short walk to the Ko Olina marketplace with its Two Scoops ice cream shop, ABC Store and the very popular and delicious Monkey Pod restaurant.
All of these elements made for a wonderful family vacation. The condo staff was friendly, helpful and professional. Michael and Vicky, who manage the property, helped answer our questions, provided a beautiful welcome basket of island treats, and oriented us to the condo, property and amenities. We would not hesitate to recommend, or return ourselves to stay during a future Hawaiian vacation.
