Available Ko Olina Rentals



Ko Olina is sometimes overlooked as a place to not only vacation, but to live year round. There are currently 6 different neighborhoods sprinkled throughout the resort and each of them have a different look and feel to them. Settings, architecture, amenities and price range all create different choices depending on what a person is looking for. What they all share in common is being located in the beautiful Ko Olina resort. 5 of the communities will allow you to be members of the Ko Olina Sports Club with access to the tennis courts, gym and discounts within the area.

Located within 3 miles of Kapolei, Ko Olina offers convenient access to shopping but the relaxed atmosphere of living within walking distance to 4 gorgeous lagoons and miles of walking trails. As you drive in, you know you've arrived to a special place, and it is easy to understand why Disney has selected Ko Olina to build their Newest entry to their Disney Vacation Club, Aulani " A Disney Resort and Spa". She will be opening on August 29th, 2011 and that's about a month away as I write and she looks lovely!



Here is a picture of the entrance to the Ko Olina area with the 24 hour Aloha team check in on the roadway in the right of the picture.

As you enter the area, the first of the housing areas will be on your right. It is called Kai Lani, and is about 30 individual 4 unit buildings some of which have unobstructed ocean and coastline views, many of which are only separated from the coast by a small ribbon of Conservation property. Each unit has a single car garage and there are 1st floor and 2nd floor units. Of all the communities, Kai Lani is the smallest and offers the best of the best in terms of privacy and views. The link will show you available properties in Kai Lani. The picture below shows the gated entrance into the homes. Prices on Kai Lani listings are currently between $670K to $ 715K

As you continue on into the Resort, you'll pass the Marriotts Ihilani 5 star Hotel and then adjacent to this fantastic property, you'll come to the future site of the Disney Hotel. Located on 23 + acres and fronting the second half of the largest of the 4 Lagoons, this should be quite a transformation to the area.

Across the street from the site is the entrance to another community in Ko Olina, Coconut Plantation. These units are located on some beautiful grounds and the landscaping is truly remarkable. Coconut Plantation is the closest of all the 5 communities to the Disney site and has the Ko Olina Golf Course on it's other boundary. Currently, property in Coconut Plantation begins in the upper $500's.

At Ko Olina Kai Golf Estates, you'll find the only 60 single family residences in the entire Ko Olina Resort. These single family residences are located on the perimeter of the golf course and are all fairway lots. Once inside Ko Olina Kai the remainder of the community is comprised of 6 unit buildings with floor plans ranging between 2 bedroom/2 bath units to 3 bedroom/3 bath units. The pool/community area is lovely and special attention was given to creating a very open feel through the use of green space. A walking trail leads from the community to the pro shop and 1st tee box of the golf course for those who share that affliction.

As you drive down to the end of Aliinui Drive, you'll have the Hillside on your left and The Fairways on your right. As the name would imply, The Fairways at Ko Olina are built along the golf course and the perimeter units offer expansive views of the Championship course with various sized units and floor plans.

We went out to Ko'olina today to take some pictures and to just enjoy a lazy afternoon after a giant lunch. I was taking a picture of Flat Stanley (who came from Pennsylvania) and in my eyesight was......this beautiful bird. I stayed so still and just watched it slowly turn around and look at me. He stood still just watching me. I felt privileged to take his picture and how beautiful it turned out!

3 Bedroom Ground Floor Kai Lani With Ocean View
Available For Sale or 1 Year Lease

You can walk along paths through the Ko Olina resort to the restaurants and lagoons or if you want a little quiet time, you can go to the little beach in front of Kai Lani for some snorkeling or just to have some quiet time. When sunset comes, this is a favorite spot of mine.

Ko Olina Center and Ko Olina Station at Ko Olina

Michael  Hege RA, CDPE: Real Estate Agent in Kapolei, HI

I've been asked a few times about the shopping center that is currently being built in Ko Olina in front of Coconut Plantations. While I had the leasing information, I had never really explored what was going to be there and who the tenants were going to be. The best part of this "cyberworld" that we live in is the ability to have information shared and passed from one to the other. Such is the way I learned enough to post some details on Ko Olina Center and Ko Olina Station.

My thanks to Doc who sent me the following links:


Honolulu Advertiser article

Ko Olina Station leasing information

Ko Olina Center Information

As the article from the Advertiser details, there will be a 56,000 sq foot center in 2 buildings and will save us from having to leave Ko Olina for an impromptu meal or to do a little shopping. Tenants will include:

Nick's Fish Market, a gourmet supermarket (my Favorite)
Kimo Bean Coffee Co.
Home furnishing store Blue Lobster Cottage
Z Pizza
Ko Olina Barbeque
Walking in Paradise

These should be great for both the people who live here and the guests who are staying at the local resorts and hotels since the options within the resort were a little limited before the addition of these stores.

Originally planned for 80,000 sq feet, the Center has been sized down and will no longer include a gas station and is scheduled to open in September of 2009. We look forward to welcoming our newest neighbors.
