4.4 (151 Reviews)

When you rent a condo in Kapolei, Hawaii, expect plenty of to-die-for sunsets and a relaxing lifestyle while still being just 21 miles west of Honolulu and famed Waikiki Beach, which locals sometimes head to for surfing and partying. Residents of Makakilo, Kapiolei, and Honokai Hale often pack a picnic and choose somewhere a bit quieter, such as Paradise Cove Public Beach or Barbers Point Beach Park, roughly a mile or two from home.

Enjoy a round of golf at the local Kapolei Golf Course or the Ko Olina Golf Club, part of the upscale Ko Olina Resort area. Take advantage of the "kama'aina" (resident) rates and save a bundle at either course.

Locals tend to hang out at Zippy's, open 24/7 and home to authentic Hawaiian fare. Roy's Ko Olina and the restaurants at Disney's Aulani Resort provide more upscale options.

I have lived in Kapolei my whole life the only thing that is changing is that there is a lot of construction going on. There are adding lots of new housing and stores. It is getting a little crowded, but overall it is a decently safe area. The commute to Kapolei is very long when there is traffic, but other than that Kapolei has lots to do and has beautiful housing and is very modern.

Kapolei is not the most advanced or boujee environment, but it does hold many family friendly environments and locals. There are a lot of places to shop and eat out and there are parks and pools as well. The traffic in Kapolei is decent and the schools are not extremely bad places to receive an education.
