We showed up and all the instructions got us into the gated community and then we opened up the door to find an awesome condo that is VERY FULLY FURNISHED! It really had anything/everything you can think of in this place. In the garage, there was beach chairs, umbrellas, masks, snorkels, boogie boards, and many other toys for the pool and the beach. We didn't rent the golf cart, but we enjoyed just being able to walk to the lagoon's anyway. You are a 7 minute walk to lagoon 1 and then you just follow the path to the next lagoon until you get all the way to lagoon 4. We loved doing sunset walks and Ko Olina is such a beautiful place to be in. There is not much parking, but since we had parking in the gated community, we could walk everywhere and never had to worry about trying to find parking like everyone else. 3-4 miles away you have anything you need (Costco, Target, Wal-mart, Safeway, etc...). There are several restaurants you can walk to right outside the gated community, but some are too pricey for my budget. It was easier to just go to the grocery store and buy food and bring it back to the condo and cook. The grill on the back lanai was great to use for me! We invited friends that we knew that lived in Hawaii to come over and everyone that came out that way were all just so in awe and impressed at the area, the community, the condo, and of course my cooking; which of course I had everything in the Condo to help me with that. The condo is right in the middle of the complex and smack dab in between the 2 pools. The only problem with that was figuring out which pool to go to. You will need a rental car if you stay at the condo as you'll need to drive to get groceries, stuff, sight see, etc...If I were to ever need a place to stay in Hawaii again, I'd stay here everytime! Katherine was very easy to work with and any questions I had were answered quickly. We had a leak in the kitchen sink and called her and she had someone there to fix it super fast. If you are looking for a more peaceful, relaxing area than Waikiki, you need to rent this place in Ko 'Olina. You won't be sorry!
