Aloha and welcome to your vacation paradise, and your “Home in the Sun”, Hale Akala BT 404, in the luxurious Ko Olina Beach Villas Resort, on the calm, leeward, west coast of Oahu. Relax and enjoy this ULTIMATE luxurious paradise -- you may find that you want to return often!

Once a historic playground for Hawaiian royalty, the private gated Ko Olina Resort offers all you need to fulfill your needs for the day, a weeklong vacation, weeks long remote work, or however long your heart desires. The resort features four lagoons for swimming, snorkeling and sunbathing.

Ko Olina is uniquely situated among all the Hawaiian Islands in that it offers an 'outer-island experience' with the convenience of being 30 minutes from the city energy of Honolulu & Waikiki. There's no other place like it!

One of the most exclusive villas in the Ko Olina Beach Villas Resort, your luxurious 3 bedroom, 3 full bath oceanview villa, 'Hale Akala 404', has been designed to achieve perfect Feng Shui balance, both in terms of its location (4th floor) and views (unobstructed views of the ocean and the mountains), and well as the top-of-the-line amenities inside the villa.

The villa is appointed with new luxurious living room furniture that includes a queen size sleeper sofa and two chairs with ottomans for each. If you plan on using the sleeper sofa, please let us know so we can point you to a video showing how to assemble the bed and protective covering and sheet to use (which are stored inside the innovative couch). Mahalo for your help in keeping things in good condition for other guests to enjoy!

The villa is also equipped with a new stacked washer/dryer with greater capacity and faster drying than standard units in most villas and a new dual dishwasher.

Your deluxe accommodation is just steps from your very own beach, and from the amenities of our exclusive vacation community and world-class resort - championship golf, a full service spa, swimming pools and ocean lagoons, fine restaurants, a 300 slip private marina for chartered sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing trips and more.

Amazing getaway
We had the best time staying here at Ko Olina. The place was the perfect combination of “hotel/resort” feel and private residence. We had 4 adults, 1 teenager and two babies (2 years and 5 months) and we all had plenty of space! The place came equipped with all the necessities- beach chairs, towels, sand toys, cooler, wagon, etc. The host was great and quick to respond. We spent time at the pool, at the beach (lagoons), and traveling around to see North Shore, Pearl Harbor, and other destinations. Ko Olina was a great hub, nothing was too far away. It had a cute shopping center within walking distance for shopping and food options. The Disney resort and four seasons are also within walking distance for other options. My husband golfed the Ko Olina course and would high recommend. Would 10/10 recommend!

Excellent!
We just got back from a weeks stay and were in love with the rental! Renu was very quick to get back to us on all questions and was very kind and pleasant to communicate with. The property is amazing and at no point did we have trouble finding pool chairs nor did we find it crowded. We did have a super late flight coming home and there is nowhere to store luggage (like a hotel would have) so it would be nice if there was help from that perspective but that's more of a property thing than the owner we rented from. Highly recommend this place!

Being able to have three families/generations in one residence was very nice! Having a full kitchen to make some of our meals was also helpful and needed for such a large group of people.

About the host

Hosted by Renu Kulkarni

Host profile image
Our family lives in Chicago and we purchased this paradise escape when the Beach Villas were built. While we love the vibrancy of Chicago, warm weather is always on our minds. Plus we have always had an emotional attachment to the Hawaiian Islands and Polynesia having worked in Oahu and New Zealand years ago. Not a surprise therefore that our daughter is named after a Hawaiian princess!!

Why they chose this property

We wanted a place which combined big city energy, excitement, amenities, and attractions, with calm, unspoilt, and uncrowded beaches; warm, wonderful folks as neighbors; and all the pleasures of a 5-star+ resort. That place is the Ko Olina Beach Villas Resort -- a 30-minute drive to Waikiki and a 40-minute drive to Kailua on H3; in a gated exclusive property on Oahu's calm and unspoilt western or Leeward shore. Our villa, aptly named 'Hale Akala 404' which in Hawaiian means 'Home of the Sun', is a luxurious 3 BA/3 BA villa designed on Feng Shui principles:
- in the Beach Tower which is the only building directly fronting the beach
- on the 4th floor of a 8 floor building,
- with unobstructed views of the ocean and the Waianae mountain ranges from a large lanai
- tasteful Asian-inspired art, and furniture which allow the ocean breezes to flow through the villa
- top-of-the-line bed and bath linens
- and a Roy Yamaguchi designed chef's kitchen

In addition, we have all the amenities that one would want in a vacation -- lap/lounge pools, jacuzzi, beach bar, top-notch fitness center, assigned underground parking, and the best resort staff you will ever meet -- from Moon Kahele who leads ukelele playing and koi feeding lessons for the keiki (kids), to Summer and her staff that lead you through lei-making sessions, to David and his staff who are there to attend to your every need.

We have been to all the Hawaiian islands and each has it own charm. We really saw all of the islands in one place -- at Ko Olina. An outer island experience with all the amenities that discerning travelers have come to expect for their ever so rare vacations.

As an old commercial said, 'We liked it so much that we bought the company'!! We invested in our villa because we loved it and everything that came with it -- material and spiritual. As our esteemed guests, we hope you feel the same.

What makes this property unique

Anything that you want to do. If the Beach Villas don't have it, the concierge can suggest it for you, either on the Ko Olina property or indeed anywhere on Oahu or indeed in Hawai'i.
