Not trustworthy! My husband booked a place for us as we look for longer term housing. A while after…read morebooking and getting confirmation, they sent an email. It's a holiday weekend and they demanded a response the same day. We replied the following morning but were told they already cancelled our reservation. Wouldn't we just book again at their new price that's $1,500 more? Talking to them to try and resolve, it was clear they just wanted more money. There was no urgent issue, they never called, they just decided they could get more money than our reservation. So be warned if you reserve with them... they may leave you hanging. EDIT: The owner left a response citing verification processes. We completed everything asked for on booking and NEVER received any communications on August 28 or 29. I have the message receipts and can gladly share. Our only message was Aug. 30 and we responded within a day, despite the holiday weekend! The property was still available. They just wanted to jack the price over $1k.

Earlier this year, we decided, on a whim, to have a beach day and called up last minute to rent…read moresome chairs, umbrellas, and a cooler. The staff could not have been kinder or more accommodating. They immediately set us up with everything we needed for a relaxing day by the water and even offered us a discount, which was such a thoughtful touch. They delivered everything right to our resort and later came back to pick it all up, making the experience effortless from beginning to end. The owner was especially wonderful--warm, genuine, and full of great recommendations for local spots to eat and explore. It was such a beautiful reminder of the true aloha spirit we love so much. As someone who grew up on the island of Guam--another beautiful but farther-to-reach Pacific gem--returning to Hawaii always fills my spirit with that same island way of life: generous, easygoing, deeply rooted in community and kindness. I'm so grateful for places and people like this who make you feel right at home, wherever you are in the world.

I was planning a destination wedding and needed a place for my family and family-in-law to stay in…read more We knew we wanted to stay in Ko Olina, but needed an actual townhouse to rent. From a Google search, I found that Ola Properties had a nice online listing of all their rental properties online, this made things much easier than bouncing different addresses off through the phone. Furthermore, they show actual pictures of each of their rental homes online, so you can see how the interior is furnished (trust me, this makes a BIG difference!). I should mention that that the minimum rental period is 30 days though. Doesn't mean you actually have to be there for the whole month, but you do need to pay for a whole month at a time. At the time of my search, we only stayed for part of the month, but it still benefited us to go use Ola Properties. I mainly contacted Debi and she was awesome. With the 6-hr difference between us, we primarily contacted through email, but we were able to catch each other when we needed it. When we arrived, we were promptly greeted and given a tour of each house we rented. If there were any issues, we could call and/or text at any time. Even after we left, Debi was very helpful in answering my questions regarding our deposit. If we ever come back to Ko Olina, I'll definitely use Ola Properties again! Thanks Debi!

Ola Properties was my property manager starting in 2021, back when Larry was still involved. Things…read moreran smoothly back then, but once ownership changed, the quality went downhill fast. The biggest issue was the lack of communication and transparency. Decisions were made without consulting us, and when we asked questions, the responses always seemed to prioritize Ola's internal agenda rather than what was best for our villa. We also started noticing a steady increase in fees. What used to be a simple structure with a few charges turned into a long list--transaction fees, credit card fees, even fees just to speak to someone live. It felt excessive and, at times, questionable. The breaking point was how they handled our belongings when we decided to leave. We requested our original linens back, but they had removed tags to make everything "community linens." When we finally received items, they didn't match, some were clearly older than what we originally had, and others still had tags from different units. It was disorganized and unacceptable. To make matters worse, we were promised replacements or compensation, but in the end, we were given poor-quality linens that didn't come close to what we had before. Communication during this process was frustrating--calls and concerns were often ignored or brushed off. There are good people working there, but overall, the leadership and management practices made it impossible for us to trust the company. The lack of respect and common courtesy for the people who employ them--and who they claim to serve--is appalling. Based on our experience, I would not return. I have the emails and receipts if they wanted to dispute my claims.

The tiny window next to the door seems unnecessary...it felt very unsafe/not secure. The door itself was so old and flimsy, not sturdy at all. I will not be staying again. The good thing is that parking for 1 vehicle is free, $10 per any other vehicle per night. The Chinese restaurant attached is not bad, but we only ate there once. They have a small store attached to the front desk so thats nice as well-they have microwavable foods and drinks and toiletries.

Never bothered to even come and look at my beautiful rental. He would give me no further explanation. Also, he did state that he did not like to lease properties where the owner was on site. Thomas replied to my review. Apparently, he did not listen to understand what it is that I was renting. I said that it was on the ground floor and that we live on the second floor. It is a 500 square-foot one bedroom apartment. Not a room in our home.
