I'd give 4.5 stars, because of a few minor drawbacks, but its value and the pool round up to 5!
We had three generations including grandkids ranging in age from 1-7. This house was perfect! It had plenty of bedrooms, each connected to a bathroom (of which one also opened into the upstairs hallway), plus an extra bathroom downstairs. We loved the extra-large dining room table that could seat all of us and the table outside on the porch. We used the gas grill and enjoyed eating on the balcony—it really does have great views on all four sides!
The pool was a big draw in choosing this house, and our kids used it almost every day. There were life jackets and pool toys of various kinds and sizes, plenty of beach towels and a tent for the beach.
It's in a quiet family neighborhood, which was perfect for us. We enjoyed shopping at local stores and never felt unsafe. You might read mixed reviews of the area because there's poverty, but that didn't concern us, only made us conscious of how colonization and environmental carelessness have affected Hawaii. The ultra-manicured grounds at Ko Olina (home of Disney's Aulani) felt artificial, although the lagoons are a great place to take kids, and Aulani offers a kid-friendly luau.
Drawbacks: it's a well-kept house, but it's not brand-new. Appliances were fine, but the bathrooms, while they had obviously been cleaned, weren't white and shiny anymore. Also, the a/c either was broken or is seriously undersized, because it worked overtime the whole week just to keep the house at their recommended temp of 77 (however, it was unseasonably hot and humid that week, with no trade winds, so most of the time you'd probably be fine!). The house manager was extremely responsive, but they weren't able to get anyone out to look at the a/c until the day we left.
However, those were small issues. We would absolutely come back to stay again. I love the silent exchange between past and future VRBO guests: besides pool toys, the pantry had some sundries (spices, Keurig pods, oil), and a few bathrooms left hair products to try. We left a few in turn.
Recommend: Mike's Bake Shop (Waianae) for donuts and pastries, Coquito's Puerto Rican restaurant (they do takeout!), Sushi Bay (Kapolei), Green World Coffee and Kohana Rum tour (near Dole Plantation).
